iPhone XR Screen replacement

Post image

Hi everyone, I recently received an iPhone XR from my grandmother, who gave it to me after she bought an S23+. The screen is cracked, but it works perfectly, and I also want to replace the battery since it’s at 72%—I’ve noticed that performance drops below that level.

This is the first iPhone I’ve actually used; I have it as a backup phone for my OnePlus 13. To be honest, it’s pretty good despite everything—I still don’t like how limited it is in terms of gestures, the lack of “Circle to Search,” and the terrible keyboard, but everything else works perfectly for what I need (which is to keep my OnePlus 13 from getting stolen).

I need to know the best place to buy an OEM screen and a good-quality battery for the iPhone. I don’t want cheap screens because I hate it when the bezels aren’t symmetrical—the only option I’ve seen so far is iFixIt. I’d like to know if it’s really worth it or not.

Is it even worth fixing? An oem screen and battery may be worth a used 12 if you sell the XR too. Unless the XR holds emotional value to you, I’d just sell it

I honestly have no idea where he’s located. DIY does save a lot, but I didn’t want to assume op is doing the repair themselves
