Arrived at LeeP this morning, while chatting to him I dropped my iphone4 on the floor and cracked the screen...... :(

 

If I take it to Apple - will they be able to replace it under the 1 yr warranty or is this going to be an insurance jobbie?

if you take it to apple say you dropped it from a low hight and say it should be able to with stand a 30cm drop or something and its not durable (a few people have done this before), if that fails, eat the 110£ I think it is for a replacement

MarcAB10 smashed his recently and put a thread up about it here. Might be of some help if you want to give it a bash yourself and save a few quid.

 

Great thread - thanks.

 

If I just wanted to replace the broken screen then would an item like THIS be sufficient or do i need the replacement LCD / digitizor combo.

The LCD on the iphone 4 is bonded to the actual glass, therefore u can't replace the glass and not the LCD, you will need a complete screen LCD, digitiser the lot.

 

Just take it to apple and see how much they want at least then you know it's getting done with genuine parts etc

I've just fixed a mate's one, Glass, digitizer and LCD, as said about £50 parts. It's a pain the LCD is now bonded to the glass at least with the 3 it was just a £13 glass and digitizer replacement. I know its to stop dust getting in it, but surely a half decent gasket would have been better.

 

Sorry back on topic, it's likely they'll want to charge for fixing it, but it's definately worth a shot.
