Earlier this week, Apple started replacing iPhone 5s glass screens in Apple Stores for the first time. But the catch is that the service is only available in the United States and Canada. That will change, though, next week. Sources say that the program will expand across Apple’s official retail locations in Europe as soon as Monday, August 11th. The pricing for the screen replacements will likely come in around the equivalent of $150. iPhone 5c screen replacements started across Apple’s locations earlier this year.

Considering that the display + glass screen costs around 20$, 150$ dollars Apple wants for the replacement is just toooo high. As usual.
Well, you forgot the hours the Apple repair guy(s) work on the iPhone in your calculation though. If a service is too much, do not make use of it and do it yourself. But yeah, it is pretty pricey!
Hi, it looks like the pricing hasn’t decreased from the $269 it has always been in the US. Do you have confirmation of the pricing change?
