If the Home button on your iPhone has stopped working, it might be time for professional help. If your Home button problem is caused by a faulty product and you’re under warranty, the repair will be free. However, if you (or your dog who stepped on the phone) are the culprit, there will be a fee for repair. iPhone repair costs will vary depending on the model of your phone, who is providing the service, and whether your phone is under warranty or you have the extended warranty called AppleCare. If Apple repairs an iPhone that is out of warranty, the cost will be higher than from a third-party provider. One reason to consider paying more for repair by Apple is that using an outside service for repairs can sometimes void other Apple warranties that are in effect for your iPhone. Home button repair falls under Apple’s “other damage” repair pricing category, which costs a flat fee of $99 under AppleCare. If your phone is out of warranty, here are some of the average prices you can expect to pay to repair a Home button:

• iPhone 8 Plus: $399.
• iPhone 8: $349.
• iPhone 7 Plus: $349.
• iPhone 7: $319.
• iPhone 6s Plus: $329.
• iPhone 6 Plus: $329.
• iPhone 6s: $299.
• iPhone 6: $299.
• iPhone SE: $269.
• iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5: $269.

If your iPhone has been damaged by water, there’s still hope. It often costs less to repair an iPhone than to buy a new phone, and you can save your contacts, photos and other stored data. If you have AppleCare, the extended warranty provided by Apple, your coverage includes two incidents of accidental damage for repair at the rates listed below. Using a third-party provider can save you money; however, once an outside vendor has done work on your phone, your warranty may be voided and Apple may no longer provide service for your phone. Here are Apple’s charges for iPhone repair for water damage (classified as “other damage” on their website):

• iPhone X: $549.
• iPhone 8 Plus: $399.
• iPhone 8: $349.

A broken iPhone screen doesn’t have to mean shelling out major money for a new phone. iPhone repair is an easy solution for a cracked or damaged iPhone screen that will have it looking as good as new in no time. The size of your iPhone will affect screen cost. Another factor that affects iPhone repair cost is whether you want to have your LCD repaired or replaced at the same time that you have your screen fixed. If you have AppleCare (Apple’s insurance), screen repair costs an additional $29 fee. Prices for Apple’s screen repair without AppleCare coverage vary based on your screen size. Here are some examples of average cost from less expensive third-party providers:

• iPhone 5/5S/5C: $75, full screen replacement including the LCD and digitizer.
• iPhone SE: $124.99, full screen replacement including the LCD and digitizer.
• iPhone 6: $99.99, full screen replacement including the LCD and digitizer.
• iPhone 6 Plus/6S: $125, full screen replacement including the LCD and digitizer.
• iPhone 7/7 Plus: $174.99, full screen replacement including the LCD and digitizer.
• iPhone 4/4S: $70, glass and LCD repair.
• iPhone 5/5S/5C: $80, glass and LCD repair.
• iPhone SE: $80, glass and LCD repair.
• iPhone 6: $90, glass and LCD repair.
• iPhone 6 Plus: $100, glass and LCD repair.

An iPhone screen can crack fairly easily, so it’s always recommended to use a shock-absorbing case and a tempered glass screen protector to help keep your investment safe. Replacing the screen on your iPhone 6 will vary in price depending on which iPhone 6 model you have and who provides the repair. Third-party vendors provide lower-cost service than Apple for iPhone repair, unless you have Apple’s product insurance, AppleCare.

• iPhone 6: $90.
• iPhone 6 Plus: $100.
