Apple charges insulting prices for back glass replacement because they have to swap the entire device — they can’t separate the glass from the frame. We use specialized laser de-bonding to remove just the glass and replace it. Same color, same finish, fraction of the cost.
Starting with iPhone 12, Apple sealed the back glass to the chassis with industrial adhesive. Their official repair process: take out everything, throw away the chassis, put your motherboard in a brand-new device. We use laser de-bonding to remove just the glass — keeping your original frame, battery, screen, everything.
Specialized 1064nm laser softens the adhesive between glass and chassis without damaging internal components. Lets us peel the broken glass off cleanly.
Original Apple finish for every model — Natural Titanium, Black Titanium, Pacific Blue, Sierra Blue, Pink, all of them. Indistinguishable from factory glass.
The wireless charging coil and MagSafe magnet ring sit between the glass and chassis. We protect both during the swap so MagSafe accessories still snap on perfectly.
Camera glass is integrated with the back. We work around it carefully — your camera lenses stay original. If a lens is also cracked, we replace it for an additional small fee.
We reapply the industrial adhesive that holds the glass to the chassis. This restores most of the IP68 seal — though no aftermarket repair fully restores factory water resistance.
Glass back replacement is more involved than screen — there’s adhesive curing time. Most repairs are done in 2-3 hours. Drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon.
Newer models have larger camera modules and more delicate adhesive — slightly more expensive parts. We pass the actual cost through. Here’s the full breakdown.

Apple’s “back glass repair” is a euphemism for “buy a new device, transfer your data.” We do actual repair. Same result, fraction of the cost.

We stock OEM-grade glass in every iPhone color: Natural Titanium, Pacific Blue, Sierra Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, Purple, etc. Phone looks brand-new.
