Glass Change Display For Iphone 12 Pro Max

Glass-only replacement

• Process: A technician uses specialized equipment to separate the top layer of cracked glass from the functioning OLED panel underneath. A new piece of glass is then carefully bonded to the original display using Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA).
• Components: The product is the outer glass lens, which may include an oleophobic coating for fingerprint resistance.
• Description: The replacement part is described as an “Outer Touch Glass with OCA.” It is a factory-fitted replacement, not a protective layer. 

Full screen assembly replacement

• Process: The entire display assembly—which includes the outer glass, the touch-sensitive digitizer, and the OLED screen—is replaced.
• Components: This can come in several grades of quality, from aftermarket LCD screens to premium soft OLEDs. The assembly may include a pre-installed frame or adhesive and is sometimes sold with a full set of tools.
• Description: The description for this product would specify that it includes the entire “display assembly,” “LCD screen,” or “OLED display”. Some examples of these replacement products include:
  • Aftermarket Soft OLED: A budget-friendly OLED option that is comparable in performance to the original Apple display but may be slightly more fragile. The iFixit Soft OLED for the iPhone 12 Pro Max is one example.
  • Aftermarket LCD: A lower-cost alternative that replaces the iPhone’s original OLED screen with an LCD. The image quality will be noticeably different, with a lower resolution and less vivid colors. The iFixit In-Cell LCD for the iPhone 12 Pro Max is an example.
  • Refurbished Genuine Apple: A display that has been refurbished with a new glass panel, but retains the original Apple electronic components. This offers factory-standard colors, brightness, and touch response.
