Rear glass damage is becoming more common — especially with newer iPhones that feature fully glass backs for wireless charging. If you're wondering how much to get back of iPhone fixed, you're not alone.

Here’s what you need to know.

Is rear glass repair possible?

Yes — in most cases, the back of an iPhone can be repaired, but it’s a different process to screen replacement.

Unlike the front, the rear glass is fused to the frame with strong adhesive and often houses components like the wireless charging coil. That makes it more labour-intensive — but absolutely fixable with the right tools.

What affects the cost of rear iPhone repair?

There are a few factors that can change the cost of fixing your iPhone’s back:

Your iPhone model – newer models often have more complex back assemblies
Extent of damage – minor cracks vs shattered glass
Whether components like the camera lens or wireless charging are affected
Labour – since rear glass often needs to be heated, laser-separated or replaced as part of the whole housing

If you've dropped your phone and the rear is cracked, it’s best to send us a quick photo so we can give tailored advice.

Can you repair just the glass?

Sometimes — but not always.

On some iPhone models, replacing just the rear glass is possible. On others, the back housing comes as a single part (frame + glass + camera ring). Either way, we’ll only quote for what’s needed — no upselling, no surprises.

Is it worth fixing the back?

Definitely — especially if:

The crack is spreading
Glass shards are exposed
You’re planning to sell or trade the phone
You want to keep wireless charging working reliably

A lot of customers assume rear damage is too costly to fix — but in most cases, it’s far more affordable than replacing the phone entirely.
