iphone 7 question

Ynot · 13 Aug 2018 at 22:15

Hi my son broke the screen on his iphone7 (again) and I thought of replacing it myself this time.
I've replaced a good few screens on the iPhone 4 /4s and 5 before but not the iphone7.
Do you get the whole LCD display that includes the home button, camera etc.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe worth posting this in the apple hardware section - probably more likely to get a response

OK thanks, will do, I wasn't sure where to post it.

Amazon sells the full units, which consist of the LCD, Touch screen and frame.

Sorry for asking can you share a link for the better screen, thanks for the help.

Thanks Guys for the advice.

OK. I understand it not being water resistance anymore but can I buy that replacement screen with earpiece and the home button included.

Thanks guys once again, I really appreciate you help.
Found it on Amazon.

Thanks so much.

Yes it's £13 more than the basic screen, but these are generally better quality. If they go wrong they normally do within the first few weeks. Which is fine as Amazon will simply refund you within 30 days.

Any more questions, let me know.

Thank you Diagro, I know you can't link me to the Amazon site but is there a cheaper version of the same, my son is sure to need it replaced (again) and a cheaper one would do him just the same. (if you wanted to PM me the link)
If it was for myself, I would go for the better quality one in your post.
I think i could manage changing over the home button.
Thank you.

They use the better screens for that listing.

If you think of it like this.. Samsung screens are £100-£200 in parts.

That screen is under £40 hahs

Yes, you are right, thank you again.

The home button can't be replaced on an IP7. Full functionality is lost as the whole button is paired with the logic board.

If OP has damaged the home button too all functionality will be lost including pressing it not just Touch ID.

Yes, the home button is damaged too.

So, even if I buy a home button from Amazon for his iphone7 the button will not function, is this correct?

Thanks again all.
