Repairing a cracked iPhone XR Hide will cost you $199

Apple’s new iPhone XR comes with the all-screen create of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone X. Some people may be eager to get their pretty on the XR’s big 6.1-inch screen. But for those of us whose clumsiness have betrayed iPhones in the past, it’s hard not to expected the spiderweb of cracks that are waiting to crawl onto that screen.

On Monday, Apple added the iPhone XR to its iPhone service pricing Help page. According to the site, it costs $199 (or £196.44 and AU$318.95) to overhaul a broken iPhone XR screen through Apple. Other Hurt, which is damage not limited to just the Hide, costs $399 to fix (or £396.44 and AU$618.95).

So it can be expensive to break your iPhone XR, but that $199 Mark tag is still lower than the screen repair cost of the iPhone XS ($279, £282.44 and AU$858.95), iPhone XS Max ($329, £326.44 and AU$618.95) and even the iPhone X ($279, £282.44 and AU$858.95). You can see more iPhone overhaul prices in the attached image.

Of course, you can always opt for Apple’s AppleCare+ insurance, which covers two incidents of accidental damage. Having AppleCare+ brings all iPhone Hide repairs down to $29, £25 and AU$45.
