When it comes to iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch screens, having an original screen is crucial. That's why China PHONEFIX Shop Team offers original screens with the best price to ensure maximum performance, specifications, aesthetics if your iPhone needs repair.

Apple designs and tests all its screens to ensure they meet their quality and performance standards. This means that original screens have proprietary technology like multi-touch, true tone, night shift, and haptic touch functioning properly.
Original iPhone Screens vs Non-Genuine: Why It Matters?Here are a few issues to look out for that are signs of a non-genuine iPhone screen:
1. Multi-Touch issues:
One of the most common issues with a non-genuine touch screen is multi-touch. Non-genuine screens will not be as prompt or accurate as genuine iPhone screens.

Signs of a non-genuine screen:

  1. Missed screen touches or touches not registering in the intended area.
  2. Certain parts of the display do not respond to multi-touch.
  3. Unexpected touches registering during phone calls.
  4. The screen stays on during phone calls.
  5. Registering accidental touches on the edge of the iPhone.

2. Display brightness or color issues: Another common issue with non-genuine iPhone screens is that there could be LCD display panels that aren't from Apple. Original iPhone screens usually have Retina or Super Retina displays made from an OLED panel that is incredibly bright and color accurate.

3. Other issues: Apart from the more common issues related to multi-touch and display brightness.

You may experience the following issues when your iPhone has a faulty screen:
  1. Your iPhone does not turn on.
  2. Your home button does not work.
  3. Your screen might feel coarse or rough.
  4. White or gray specks show up on the screen against darker backgrounds.
  5. Horizontal and vertical grid-lines run across the screen's display.
  6. Certain apps may lag or stutter.
  7. Some Apple store apps may fail to open altogether.
  8. Your iPhone gets stuck at the Apple logo while turning the phone on.
  9. A non-genuine screen may cause damage to your backlight.

With some non-genuine iPhone screens, digitizers tend to malfunction, creating dead areas in the screen (usually the bottom) where your touch commands have no effect. A digitizer is a layer of glass that converts analog movements like your touch commands and gestures to digital signals that your iPhone can understand and interpret. The digitizer rests over the device's LCD or OLED display.

If you notice the following issues with your screen's display, you might have a non-genuine iPhone screen:
  1. iPhone's true tone feature does not work properly (this is when your screen uses different sensors to adapt the screen's color to the light sources around it).
  2. The display's brightness is not consistent.
  3. The maximum brightness is not as bright as it should be.
  4. Unexpected battery depletion.
  5. Imbalance in color calibration, causing the screen to seem excessively yellow or blue.
  6. Deterioration of the ambient light sensor, causing the screen to fade or brighten inadvertently


While non-genuine screens may be cheaper, they come with a host of issues that can impact your iPhone's performance. From inaccurate touch to flickering brightness, non-genuine screens simply can't match the seamless performance of an original iPhone screen. Non-genuine screens will show up in your device's parts and services history, and there's a good chance that you will pay for a screen a third time after this replacement fails to work properly.
