iPhone 6 screen on 6+

[SimonAgerbo]

Hey MacRumors.
I've got a question about an iPhone.

I've got a broken iphone 6+, and i was wondering if I could test the phone, using an normal iphone 6 screen.

Hope someone can help me here

How would you do that?

I can't see why you cannot try it. Report back on whether it works or not.

I'll try using an iphone 6 screen.
I was just wondering, if it will fit on, not in size, but if the plug works

I'd compare images, if nothing else, on ifixit. That should give you a pretty good idea. My immediate concern is the lack of 3d touch with the 6.

The 6+ also lacks 3D touch.

You're right. In my mind I was thinking the replacement was a 6 screen on a 6s. I obviously misread completely lol.

Realizing what I do now my concern would be resolution differences. Even if the plugs work I think there would be some display issues.

I very much doubt it, but if the plugs are the same it might work

Even if the plugs were to work the native resolution will be an issue... The 6 Plus already downsizes to 1080p.

750p would be a huge difference

You probably can, however, keep in mind that if you mess up you'll need two screens instead of one.

Man. Thanks for your answers. You guys think I will break my "test" screen? if i try it?

I'm not sure anyone here actually knows - I don't imagine it's something very many people have tried.
