How much does an iPhone screen replacement cost in Melbourne?
A cracked iPhone screen is one of the most common repairs we do. Here's an honest guide to what it costs in Melbourne in 2026, why the price changes by model, and how to make sure you're not overpaying.
The short answer
At Five Star Repairs in Mount Waverley, iPhone screen replacement starts from $89. Older and standard models sit near that starting price, while the newest Pro and Pro Max models cost more because the OLED panels themselves are far more expensive.
Why the price varies by model
Not all iPhone screens are equal. A basic LCD-era screen (think iPhone 8 or SE) is inexpensive. From the iPhone 12 onwards, Apple uses premium OLED displays — and the Pro Max panels, with their bigger size and ProMotion tech, are the priciest part in the phone. So the model you own is the single biggest factor in your quote.
- Entry / older models (iPhone 8, SE, 11, XR) — closest to the from-price.
- Recent standard models (iPhone 12–16, Air) — a step up for the OLED panel.
- Pro & Pro Max — the most premium screens, priced accordingly.
How to avoid overpaying
- Get a model-specific quote first. A real price for your exact iPhone beats a vague "from" number.
- Ask about the parts. Quality replacement screens look and feel like the original; the cheapest panels often don't.
- Check the warranty. A workmanship warranty (we include 3 months) protects you if anything isn't right.
- Factor in convenience. A same-day or come-to-you repair saves you a second trip.
