How much does it cost to change a phone screen?

Phone screen repair costs can vary based on the device type and device size as well as parts used during the repair process. Larger devices and larger screens or speciality screens that include curvature or have the ability to fold will require a more specialised repair service and so may be more expensive to fix due to the labour required during the repair service. Phone screen repair prices can also differ between old and new device models, newer versions of a model may require updated parts that may not be as readily available as the parts used in older models and so this can effect the overall cost. At iSmash, we have lots of offers and deals to help you find a quality phone screen repair for the best possible price.

Can you tell me more about iphone battery replacement pricing?

Iphone battery replacement is something that iSmash specialise in and pride ourselves on. Many of our customers are unaware that their iphone battery can be replaced to ensure that their device is working to factory standards and as fast as possible. If your iPhone is loosing battery quickly throughout the day, or if you find yourself charging your iPhone constantly, or even if your device is running slower than it should do, then you may be in need of an iPhone battery replacement. The cost of this service can vary based on model, device type and the age of the device. If it is a newer iPhone model then battery replacements may be more costly. However if it is an older model, and is of standard size then iPhone battery replacement services with iSmash come at a very reasonable cost.
