When will replacement screens be available?

I've managed to drop and smash my iPhone 6 Plus screen already, looks like Apple are charging $109 for replacements, how long would it take for 3rd parties to start selling the screens so I could do it myself?

We are currently going through samples and making sure we get a quality product available soon! We can't say exactly when yet as we want to make sure we find good parts first. Keep checking back!

"Have you tried going to an Apple Store (not a carrier store)? They may fix it for free under warranty.

As far as parts, take a look at this posting: Parts for Apple iPhone 6?.

Good Luck!"

"Meanwhile I received it and took it to my ""Cell Phone Genius"". They replaced already many screens of my previous iPhones 3G / 4S / 5 / 5S and always did a great job. This time they were scared and refused to do the job as they said that they don't have tools and experience for the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus. They didn't want me to loose the warranty. I forced them and promised that it's all only on my risk. After 24 hours they called me, apologized 1000 times and asked me to pick the phone up. They didn't manage to replace the screen and damaged the home button too. I don't blame them at all.

I took my 6 Plus to the Apple store and got it fixed for $139 plus tax although the phone obviously was opened before. Well - at least I gave it a try and know for the next time. :)"

Sounds like they just wanted you to buy Apple Care Plus.

I would go with the $109. I work at a repair shop and we looked up the prices for iPhone 6 Plus screens last week and some were well over $300.00

"I purchased a new screen for my 6 Plus on eBay Germany. It should be delivered by next Friday, 11.07.
