    Ideal for customers who prefer only the original version. The price of these parts is the highest compared to other qualities.

     

    About iPhone Replacement Parts
    Replacement parts labeled as Original Service Pack have not undergone final authorization by Apple, and therefore their serial numbers are not valid. As a result, these replacement parts cannot be considered fully compatible with Apple's IRP (Independent Repair Provider) program, and Apple does not provide an international warranty for them.

     

    Display for iPhone 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, and 13 Pro Max, 14 Pro Max, 15 Pro Max - retains a refresh rate of 120Hz.

  • 506658 icon

    Spare parts labeled as Original Refurbished PRO are original parts that have been removed from the original equipment.

     

    To achieve 100% functionality and appearance, some components (such as the touch glass or frame) may be replaced with new ones. These new components are not original but are manufactured to the highest quality and closely resemble the original.

     

    This type of display retains the same image quality, brightness, and contrast as the original display from the manufacturer/authorized supplier.

     

    A potential drawback may be slight variations in the size and thickness of the display frame. The touch response may also have minor deviations in reaction to tap, swipe, and hold gestures.
