iphone 7 question.

[Ynot]

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?
I would prefer not having to transfer the old parts over.

Thanks in advance

You can get the screen only, I have done a few.

YOU CANNOT get a new home button - if the home button doesn't match the system board the whole phone locks out - security feature.

You have to transfer everything over, the only new part is the LCD itself.

Bare in mind these phones are water sealed so you will need to replace the rubber seal that goes around the edge of the display - you dont have to do this, but if you wanted to do it properly you will require that, its only a £2 part, tricky to install though.
