Cracked iPhone? You’re Screwed Pal.

August 16th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The LA Times has a story about iphones getting cracked.  Talk about a bummer.  Don’t let this happen to your iPhone.

Then I dropped my iPhone — it slipped! — from about three feet, and it hit the sidewalk. Apple’s design gurus had miscalculated — one fall and the screen shattered across the top corner. Little bits of glass began to chip away.

The Apple store had bad news. The only way to replace a cracked iPhone screen is to buy a whole new iPhone.

    I once dropped my iPhone the same way, it was even cracked worse than the one at this photo. The Apple store couldn’t help me either. Eventually I replaced the screen myself, it’s not exactly easy to do but when you are handy it can be done. Check out the guide on http://www.ifixit.com
