The iPhone 8 Plus came out in 2017, with a 5.5 inch Retina HD LCD display and the A11 Bionic chip. Charging is over Lightning and it unlocks with Touch ID in the home button. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP67. Home button, two cameras side by side, and a glass back rather than the 7 Plus's aluminium. The glass back is how you tell an 8 Plus from a 7 Plus at a glance. A1897 is the model sold here.
A screen replacement is the right answer more often than not, and it is still worth ten minutes of checking. These are the patterns that change the job.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
Where Apple supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
We will not describe a part as genuine, original or Apple certified unless that is what is going into your phone. If the honest answer is premium aftermarket, that is what we say at the counter.
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
A screen is the one repair where the tier changes what you look at every day, so it is worth thirty seconds.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The panel the phone left the factory with. True Tone and the brightness curve are exactly as they were, and there is no parts notice in settings. It costs the most and on a newer phone it is often the right answer.
Priced at the counterPremium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
A panel made to the original specification by somebody other than the manufacturer, tested for colour, brightness and touch before it goes in. On a phone that is three years old and going in a case, this is frequently what we would fit to our own.
Priced at the counterThe €70 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
The tell is not day one, it is month six: how the panel dims at the low end, whether touch keeps up with fast typing, and how the coating wears. We will say which tier we would put in your phone if it were ours.
Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Either way, describe the symptom rather than the repair. It is more useful to us.
We confirm the fault is the display and not something behind it. This costs nothing and it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong repair.
You get the exact figure before anything is opened. Nothing else is done without asking you first.
The old display comes off, the biometric and sensor parts transfer across, the new assembly goes on and gets calibrated.
Touch, brightness, face or fingerprint unlock, front camera, earpiece and proximity, checked before we call you.
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Edge to edge, including the corners, where a poorly seated assembly shows up first.
Both sit in the display assembly and both get disturbed during the job.
Both sit behind the display and both are disturbed by the job.
Where the device has it and the tooling allows it to move across. If it cannot be kept we say so before we start.
A screen replacement is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the phone on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the phone up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a phone that has already been dropped is a phone whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.
A manufacturer's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.
Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.
If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€70, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
15 to 45 minutes for most phones. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Usually, yes. Ghost touch is normally a failing digitiser, which is part of the display assembly, so a replacement resolves it. Tell us if it only happens while charging, because that points at the charger rather than the phone and would save you the repair.
We stop and tell you. You get the cause, the price and the option to say no. No additional paid work happens without your approval, and if we cannot fix the phone at all you pay nothing.
On a handful of older models, yes, where the glass and the display are separate layers. On everything current they are bonded, and splitting them is a gamble with your display that we are not willing to take with somebody else's phone.
No. A screen replacement does not touch your storage. Back it up anyway, because that is good advice on any day, not just the day a repair is booked.
No, and that is the reason we ask which model you have before quoting. Panels differ by size, by technology and by how the biometric sensor is mounted, and a screen from the closest-looking sibling will not fit.
iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.
We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.
Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.
Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.
Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.
If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. No diagnostic fee, no handling charge.
The screen stopped working on my iPhone 13 mini - it had recently been repaired elsewhere. I got a warm welcome in the shop, and a phone to borrow while mine was in for diagnostics and repair. An issue with the battery was also detected and I am very happy with the new screen and battery and appreciated the excellent service and communication.
Amazing place and very professional staff. Brought iPad for repair. They diagnosed the issue, replaced battery and gave new leads for charging. Also repaired an iPhone with motherboard issues and screen cover. I can't recommend them enough. Best repair and sales for all makes of mobile phones and devices. We are very lucky to have these in our doorstep in Drumcondra.
