You should fix a cracked iPhone back because broken glass can cut you, lets in water and dust, can affect wireless charging and the camera lens, and lowers resale value. At ART & FIX in Merced, back glass repair estimates range from $39 – $379 depending on the model.
Since the iPhone 8, iPhones have glass on the back as well as the front. A drop on the back can shatter it, and many people leave it cracked because the phone still works. Here is why that is not a great idea.
Why a cracked back matters
- Cuts: Broken glass on the back can cut your hand or scratch other things.
- Water and dust: Cracks break the seal, so water resistance is no longer reliable.
- Wireless charging: Damage near the charging coil can cause charging problems.
- Camera lens: Cracks around the camera area can reach the lens cover and blur photos.
- Resale value: A phone with a cracked back is worth less when you sell or trade it in.
