The iPhone X costs way more to repair than any other iPhone before it. Here’s what you need to know to keep your iPhone X (and your wallet) safe.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The iPhone X is a gorgeous smartphone that justifies its exorbitant \u00a31000 price point — but keeping it in one piece is going to be more important than ever. Apple are now charging a whopping \u00a3286<\/a> for a screen repair, a price rise of over \u00a3110 compared to last year’s models.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more<\/h3>\n

Apple’s standard limited warranty will cover manufacturing defects and the like, but it\u00a0doesn’t<\/em> cover accidental damage — so even if you drop your iPhone X on the first day you have it, you’re still going to be nearly \u00a3300 out of pocket.<\/p>\n

In some ways, the price hike makes sense — the iPhone X is the most expensive iPhone ever to buy or to build, after all. But if you have a cynical mindset, you might think that Apple are pushing more people to pick up their AppleCare+ service, which will charge just \u00a325 to replace a broken iPhone X screen. However, you also have to shell out \u00a3200<\/a> for AppleCare+ coverage for two years with the iPhone X, making it nearly as expensive as a screen repair in the first place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The screen is the most vulnerable element of your iPhone X, but other forms of accidental damage can also be costly. Apple will charge \u00a3556 for other repairs to the iPhone X, like the battery or the Face ID sensor, so it really pays to keep your iPhone in good nick. If that \u00a3556 figure sounds higher than its been in the past, once again it is — Apple knocked up the price by a good \u00a3152 compared to the iPhone 8 Plus and \u00a3200 compared to the iPhone 8 or iPhone 7 Plus.<\/p>\n

Keeping your iPhone X safe and sound<\/h3>\n

So when it comes to the iPhone X, keeping it safe is more important than ever. Thankfully, there are plenty of easy ways to keep your iPhone X in good condition and avoid these costly repair charges.<\/p>\n

You can safeguard against scratches and shatters to your display by using a screen protector. We recommend a tempered glass screen protector instead of an old-school plastic one, as glass protectors last way longer and are easier to apply. You can see our favourite iPhone X screen protectors here<\/a>, or view the full category of iPhone X screen protectors right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Picking up a good case is also super important. We’ve highlighted some of the best tough iPhone X cases right here<\/a>, and you can see our full collection of iPhone X cases here<\/a>.
