When Is an Iphone Screen Not Fixable?

If you drop your phone and the screen is cracked or shattered, but the display is still lit up, you have probably only damaged the front screen. However, if you see lines, black spots or discolored areas, or the screen won't light up, your LCD screen is most likely damaged and will need to be repaired.

At what point is an iPhone screen not fixable?

Whether the glass is cracked or not, examine the display and look for: - Black spots, discolored areas, or blurred sections on the screen. - A screen that stays completely black. - Lines or patterns that aren't simple cracks in the glass.

Can my iPhone be fixed if the screen is broken?

If your phone is under warranty, or you paid the $5.99 for AppleCare+ coverage, your iPhone is covered for up to two incidents of accidental damage with only a $29 fee added for screen repair, so by all means use Apple to fix that broken screen.
