How Much?!!!!!!

I have an iPhone 4 that one of my daughters gave me when she upgraded.

The other day, l wanted to download some free radio shows off LBC. Unfortunately, l couldn’t as my iPhone won’t download the software iOS 10, it needs to get these shows. It only goes up to iOS 9 something?

My other daughter said, l could have her iPhone 6 as she has upgraded but the screen is damaged at the bottom. This is due to her friend accidentally dropping a bottle of wine on it in a restaurant!

I thought Apple would be expensive so l looked online for places that replace damaged screens. I read Timpsons replace damaged screens, so l rang them.
I couldn’t believe a bit of glass would be £90 or £140. iPhone 7 would be £200!

So l wondered if anyone knows if £90 is a good price or can you recommend somewhere else that replaces iphone screens?
Thank You.

You could try these.

Just a small shop near my home.

If you want to(if you have no luck)send me the phone(recorded)and I'll get it done...then sort out the cost when you receive it back in working order.

I don't know were Terry had his done, but I had mine done in our local Colwyn Bay shopping Centre for £50 in one of the booths that are around.
Most big cities have those kind of booths for all things phones Art.
Good luck with that one!

Thanks for the info, Swimmy. It’s a shame it doesn’t list the prices they charge.
On that list, it states Timpsons prices start at £39.99 but that’s probably for the iPhone 4?

It also states that 32,000 screens are damaged every day! That’s colossal!

Omah, Thanks, that’s a better price. I’m not sure about them coming into my house. I’d rather drop it off somewhere and collect.
Apparently, when it’s being repaired, you have to give the repairer your password etc to access your phone in order to test if it’s all working ok.

Terry, That’s a very kind gesture, Thank You but l suppose by the time l had paid recorded postage costs, it would probably amount to the same getting it done locally?
