iPhone 17 Pro Max, cracked screen: 3,000 lei in under an hour, not 6,000 and 10 days

An iPhone 17 Pro Max came to us with a fully cracked screen and a frame dented at one corner. An official repair centre had quoted over 6,000 lei for the display and a new housing, with a 10-day wait. We straightened the frame professionally and fitted a new genuine Apple Service Pack display, in under an hour, for 3,000 lei.

What we received: a cracked screen and a dented frame

The phone had fallen on a corner. The glass was cracked across the whole surface, with the impact point at the bottom left, and the aluminium frame had bent right at that corner. The display still worked, but the cracks covered the entire screen.

The official quote: display and a new housing

The customer first went to an official repair centre. Because of the dented frame, the quote included not just the display but also replacing the housing: over 6,000 lei in total, with an estimated turnaround of 10 days. Then they came to us.

What we did, in under an hour

1. Frame straightened, not replaced

The frame was bent only locally, at the corner. We straightened it professionally with specialised presses, so the new display would sit perfectly. The phone’s original body stayed.

2. New genuine Apple Service Pack display

We fitted a new, genuine display from its original packaging, with a serial number on the box. At the end, iOS confirmed it as a genuine Apple part.

After: new display, corner back in shape

At the end, iOS opened the „Finish Repair” screen and confirmed: „Display: This is a genuine Apple part.” The frame corner is straight again and the display sits perfectly. Only a faint mark remains on the aluminium, where the impact was.

Official repair centre vs. Radical Service, on the same phone

Official repair centre

over 6,000 lei

display + new housing · 10 days

Radical Service

3,000 lei

new genuine display + straightened frame · under an hour

Less than half the price, the same day. The difference comes from two things: we straightened the frame instead of replacing it, because the impact was local, and we had the genuine display in stock, so no order was needed.

Don’t reset your phone before a repair

Unfortunately, the customer had reset the phone before coming to us. It wasn’t necessary: with us, a screen replacement doesn’t touch your data, and photos, apps and settings stay intact on the device. A recent backup is always a good idea, but a reset isn’t a step we ask for.

Inițial, pe baza fotografiilor trimise, am crezut că laptopul nu mai poate fi reparat. Însă, după înlocuirea componentelor avariate, inclusiv a ecranului, nu se mai observă nici o urmă. Service profesionist, recomand.

Am ajuns la Radical la recomandarea unui prieten. De-a lungul timpului, aici am reparat două laptopuri (unul cu whisky vărsat pe tastatură) și un ecran de iPhone. De fiecare dată rezolvarea a venit în cel mai scurt timp, mi s-au explicat clar și transparent variantele de reparație, costuri și durată. 10/10 recomand, serviciile lor sunt ireproșabile prin filtrul experienței mele.

Super profi, am trimis macbook air dimineata, si dupa amiaza era gata (pisele erau pe stoc). In cazul meu totul a decurs bine si rapid. Totul functioneaza bine acum pe laptop. Alin super amabil, conteaza mult asta, din ce in ce mai rar in customer service in Romania. Anyway, recomand acest Service.+++++

Experiență excelentă la Radical Service. Am apelat la ei pentru un MacBook Pro cu ecranul spart și am fost surprins să fie gata de pe o zi pe alta. Montajul este de calitate, display-ul nou arată foarte bine și totul funcționează perfect. Promptitudine rară, prețuri corecte, îi recomand cu încredere!

Frequently asked questions

How much did the screen replacement cost on this iPhone 17 Pro Max?
3,000 lei, final price: a new genuine Apple Service Pack display and professional straightening of the frame. An official repair centre had quoted over 6,000 lei for the display and a new housing, with a 10-day turnaround. The exact price depends on what we find during diagnostics.

How long does an iPhone 17 Pro Max screen replacement take?
In this case, under an hour. We keep genuine displays in stock, so we don’t wait for an order, and the frame straightening happens at the same time, in our workshop.

Do I need to reset my phone before bringing it in?
Not with us. A screen replacement doesn’t touch your data, so the phone stays exactly as you left it, with photos, apps and settings. The customer in this case had reset the phone before coming to us, a step that wasn’t necessary. A recent backup is still a good idea before any repair.

Can the frame be straightened instead of replaced?
Often, yes. When the impact has bent the frame only locally, like at a corner, it can be professionally straightened with specialised presses, without replacing the whole body of the phone. That cuts the cost and time of the repair a lot. If the frame is severely deformed or cracked, replacement remains the right option.

How do I know the fitted display is genuine?
After fitting, iOS opens the „Finish Repair” screen and confirms: „Display: This is a genuine Apple part.” The display comes new, in its original packaging, with a serial number on the box.

Cracked your iPhone screen?

Genuine Apple display, in stock, fitted while you wait. And no need to reset your phone.
