With policy changes looming for the Apple Care service, Apple wants to get most of the repairs of damaged iPhones are fixed in their physical stores, thus avoiding having to give a refurbished terminal (repaired by the SAT) and with the consequent cost savings that this means for the company.
Apple has reportedly started offering rScreen repair for iPhone 5 priced at $ 149 (in Spain we do not know the amount). If your terminal has problems, the technicians of the physical Apple Store should be able to replace the display so that you can take home the same phone that you brought.
This measure has caused some non-Apple repair services have to cut the price of their services, an amount that they already had very tight in the case of the iPhone 5. The control that Apple has over the components of the terminal makes it very difficult to get spare parts and that makes the final price more expensive, leaving very little profit margin if really they want to be competitive.
If you have an iPhone 5 with a broken screen or with the front affected by a fall, You may be interested in taking a tour of an Apple Store and request a quote to replace it.
In addition to repairing screens, it is expected that the cameras, buttons and iPhone motherboard in the physical Apple Store itself.
