Has anyone tried fixing an iPhone 6 screen?

Here's a recent post on FaceBook:

Has anyone out here tried their hand at replacing an iPhone 6 screen (or any iPhone screen) themselves? $199 at the repair stores or $149 at Apple seems a little harsh. (And no, it's not mine. It's Lxxx's.)

I see these all the time and wish I could chime in but most of the conversations are private.  I only see them if my store is named directly in the chat.  So here's my "chime"

1. iPhone 6 phones don't cost $199 at Digital Doc Des Moines.  They cost $119.  HUGE difference and I know my competitors are as high as $199.  Don't throw us out with the rest of them.

2. The Apple store may or may not get to your iPhone 6 repair.  Their goal is to sell you a 6S.  They may tell you it isn't fixable.  When they get busy, THEY SEND THEIR CUSTOMERS TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Don't try to do this yourself.  Yes iFixIT has a video and yes it looks easy but it isn't.  We have had countless customers bring their phone in so we can rescue their attempt to fix themselves.  In several instances, the customer completely destroyed their phone because the videos don't have some important steps like UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY before removing any broken parts.  If you don't, you will most certainly fry your phone.  

Bottom line - bring your phone to Digital Doc Des Moines.  We'll have it fixed and back in your hands in under 30 minutes and it will be repaired by technicians who have repaired thousands of phones and know exactly what to do.  All our repairs are warranted for a minimum of 3 months if not more and we have a few ideas for you on how to better protect your phone moving forward (no, we do not sell cases - there are better ways...)
