iPhone XS iPhone XS screen replacement doubt

[lucasrant]

I recently got a new iPhone XS and promptly cracked the screen after it slipped from my lap while sitting on a chair... I don't have any apple stores nearby, so I wanted to inquire about screen replacements.

Does anyone know if the screen part for the iPhone XS is the same as the iPhone X?

They are not the same. The screen sizes are different and the Xs screen is OLED while the X is LCD. Unless you purchased Apple Care Plus, screen replacement for your Xs is going to be expensive.

Screen size the same, both oled.

That is incorrect. X also uses OLED.

Samsung supplies the OLED panels for the iPhone currently, which would be the exact same display if I recall correctly, I don’t believe Apple has made any significant changes to the XS dispay Over the 2017 X.

You're correct, I was thinking of the 8 and 8+. Sorry about the misinformation.

Wrong the X is also OLED.

OLED or not I can 100% guarantee you it’s not the same part. Also, ANY part you get from anyone except apple is not OEM (and if it is, it is stolen). Apple does not sell original parts to third-parties.

Finally, having a third-party tamper with your phone will destroy its waterproofing (not that there are any parts for the XS going around at the moment, stolen OEM, reverse-engineered knockoffs or not)

Your options:
1) Send it in. Since it’s so new they might just give you a new one for the price of the replacement.
2) Try to purchase AppleCare+ and then send it in (i think your phone has to pass some remote diagnostics first, I don’t think a cracked screen makes it fail such diagnostics).

I wouldn’t say 2) is cheating the system because this is a loophole so large you could get a whale through it, Apple knows it and does it willingly. Plus they’re a trillion dollar corporation.
