If it has not happened to you, it has likely happened to someone you know – you drop your iPhone and pick it up only to find that the back glass is cracked.
While the back glass does not affect the functionality of the front glass and you will still be able to use your phone, there are some other issues that the cracked glass can cause. For instance, if water were to get into the crack, it could cause issues with the logic board. In addition, it is likely that you will be unable to wirelessly charge your phone with a cracked back glass.
When it comes to your iPhone, you want it to be in the best condition possible, and getting timely repairs can help ensure that it does remain in tip-top shape. Below, we will discuss how your iPhone’s back glass can be repaired once it is cracked.
Can Cracked Back Glass Be Fixed?
If you have cracked the back glass on your iPhone, you may be wondering if it can be fixed or if it is something you will simply have to learn to deal with.
Fortunately, in most cases, it can be fixed depending on the model of the iPhone you have.
-
iPhone 14 and 14 Plus – These models come with removable glass, which means they can be repaired easily and are usually much cheaper than some of the other models
-
iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max – These models come with the back glass glued on, which requires professional repair
-
iPhone 12 and 13 – These models can have the back glass replaced but it needs to be done by an expert as the device will need to be opened up and some components taken apart to attach the new rear glass
-
iPhone 8, 11 series, X, and XR – These models have back glass that is connected to internal components, and replacing it can be tricky and should only be done by a professional
Repairing an iPhone with Cracked Rear Glass
When you discover that the back of your iPhone is cracked, you have a couple of options to deal with the issue at hand. Here are some of your options.
DIY Replacement
You can attempt to replace the rear glass on your iPhone yourself, but it may be best to have a professional do it. If you do choose to try a DIY replacement, you do run the risk of further damaging your phone. If you are confident you know what you are doing, you can try to replace the rear glass on your own.
Add a Case
If your iPhone is still working and the crack is small or not too noticeable, you may decide you want to wait to have it repaired. It is recommended that you put a case on your device to help prevent the cracks from getting bigger and spreading and to help prevent dirt or water from getting into the crack too. Even if you decide to add a case to your phone, you will eventually need to deal with the crack and have the glass replaced.
Professional iPhone Rear Glass Replacement
The best way to have your iPhone’s cracked rear glass replaced is to simply take it to a professional cell phone repair shop and have them replace it for you. This option is affordable, and they can usually replace the rear glass the same day. You will also know that the repair is being performed by a professional and there is less risk that something additional will go wrong with your phone during the replacement.

You could always get a new phone if you find that you are ready for an upgrade or if you have an older model of iPhone.
