Best bang for your Buck
7+ month update EDIT
SCREEN IS STILL KICKING I dropped this one 15 times more and it held up better then the original apple.
Sometimes there's a delay stutter effect. Tbh I'm running a 8 year old iPhone 6s with a Chinese screen...so what do you expect right? It's barely noticeable. Mainly around the keyboard cause your typing so fast half the time. Screen is still bright. Idk what else to say she still runs great! Okay a few things to note*
At first I wasn’t expecting much. My hope was very low for this and I really didn’t bother to care. Let’s start with the shipping. Super fast came 3 days ahead of schedule without prime just classic free shipping. Box was really well made. Foam inserts and separation. Screen protector already on with another one on the side. Wipes, tools and tweezers everything was there. Now the screen
It’s a dummy thic screen obviously not from Apple so I’m sure they do there best to match but super thic. Was a bit rough snapping it back in as it was a millimeter off here and there. Don’t be afraid she’s pretty durable. Screen smoothness is legit just a fraction off. I mean if you care about gaming def go to Apple but I could deal without that extra frame rate. We’re talking less then 5+- frame rate loss. You could tell when you swipe your screen fast it kinda can’t catch up like the old one but it is worth every penny. The keyboard Surprisingly faster clearer than the original Apple screen fair warning you have to switch over your touch ID home button also be very very careful with the camera connector. It is one of the most sensitive pieces. You will have to switch the front camera as well because of reasons.
Reasons being the new screen front camera connection is super loose. Even after taking out the original Apple one and I tried putting that same one back in it also was super loose but not as loose as the new screen so hence why you need to switch the front camera as well for a better connection that won’t pop out on you during installation. The other two connectors was fine. You will also need a smidge of super glue. Works in a pinch but if your messy kind of person just do without this isn’t a job for coloring outside the lines. You will need the glue for 3 things the home button. The screen edge. And the front camera. these are little connection pieces that will do better if glued down. we are talking the smallest of drops. what I did was stick a toothpick in the bottle and used a sewing needle to dap off the toothpick then I used the sewing needle to dab in the phone. Overall very happy 9/10 biggest issue one would have is the frame rate drop. Front camera did look weird but then I remembered I used the original camera so I was like wth is going on then I read somewhere that there’s a little plastic frosty piece that holds the front camera that you can switch as well tbh I skipped that step bc I think the new one looks just as good if not better And it had its own just wasn’t as frosty so let a lil more light in I was just able to tell the detail was different but I like the change. Looks not so dim anymore when I open the front camera anywho enjoy this kit
