Does My iPhone Need a New Screen?

Not every iPhone screen issue means you need a full replacement — but some do. Whether it’s a crack, a flicker, or unresponsive touch, recognising the signs can help you decide your next step.

Signs Your iPhone Might Need a New Screen

Here’s what to look for if you’re wondering whether your iPhone needs a new screen:

• Deep or spreading cracks across the glass

• Black spots or discoloured areas on display

• Screen flickering or glitching

• Touchscreen not responding properly

• Lines or ghosting on the screen

• Separation of glass from the frame

If your phone shows any of these symptoms, it’s likely that a screen replacement is needed.

When You Can Get Away with a Quick Fix

Some minor issues don’t require a full replacement. These include:

• Hairline scratches

• Small chips not near the touch area

• Dust or debris interfering with touch (can be cleaned)

If you’re unsure, a technician can assess the damage and recommend the best solution. At Kent iPhone Repair, we always aim to repair rather than replace where possible — saving you time and money.

What a Screen Replacement Involves

A full screen replacement means swapping both the glass and display unit. We only use high-quality parts and handle all repairs in-house. Most repairs are completed same day, and your device is returned looking and working like new.
