iPhone 5s digitizer

stereophonie · February 17, 2014

I am going to be doing a replacement for the first time on the iPhone 5s of the digitizer, it seems that these are quite scarce on eBay and I was wondering if the iPhone5 digitizers are the same as the 5s and that's maybe why I'm not getting much results in searching? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

They're scarce because ever since the iPhone 4/iPod Touch 4G the LCD has been sealed to the digitizer so you have to buy a new LCD/digitizer together because you can't separate them. (I think Apple started doing this because dust was getting in between the digitizer and LCD on older devices.)

The iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S screen is not the same. You would have a nightmare fixing the screen thinking they are the same. Becareful of cheapo lcd screens you find on Ebay though, most of them are either refurbished, or just low quality.

All of Apple's components are made in China and if you look around hard enough, you will be able to find one or two vendors that sell Apple Quality components (you will need to have experiencing buying in this field to know though haha).

INFOPC seems to be doing some great stuff in this field. They just started an Indiegogo campaign and is offering high quality LCD displays that have a 1 year warranty. Check them out!
