Just as the prices of the older iPhones changed after the release of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, the iPhone repair costs are now also different. Here you will find the new Apple iPhone repair costs, ie the prices for the display (repair or replacement) as well as for "other damage" with and without AppleCare +. A little tip in advance: Not only the iPhone 8 Plus, whose other damage can cause repair costs of up to € 451,10, you should use for damage prevention in a bag, case or sleeve stuck;)
Chapter in this post:
Apple iPhone repair costs: up to € 451,10
The good news first: If you have booked AppleCare + for your iPhone, i.e. Apple's security and insurance plan, then replacing the iPhone display on the following models will only cost you € 29: iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone 7 / 7 Plus, iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, iPhone 6/6 Plus and iPhone SE. If you haven't booked AppleCare +, the display replacement will cost you between € 161,10 and € 201,10. However, not all damage is included in the program and additional costs may arise, for example for shipping. Apple gives details here.
But now we come to the really high costs - both for damage without AppleCare + and for damage that is simply not covered by it. I think if you have seen the following table, you will voluntarily buy a bag, sleeve or case for the iPhone 8 (like this one);)
| Apple smartphone | Display repair / replacement costs | Other damage / repair costs |
| 8 iPhone Plus | 201,10€ | 451,10€ |
| iPhone 8 | 181,10€ | 401,10€ |
| iPhone 7 Plus | 201,10€ | 401,10€ |
| iPhone 7 | 181,10€ | 371,10€ |
| iPhone 6s Plus | 201,10€ | 391,10€ |
| iPhone 6s | 181,10€ | 351,10€ |
| iPhone 6 Plus | 181,10€ | 391,10€ |
| iPhone 6 | 161,10€ | 351,10€ |
| iPhone SE, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5 |
161,10€ | 311,10€ |
| iPhone 4s | See "Other damage" | 241,10€ |

How easy is it to repair the smartphone?
If you want to know how easy or difficult it is to take apart, repair and assemble the Apple iPhone 8, then I recommend you this post to the iPhone 8 teardown from iFixit. There you will also find the link to the complete teardown report including the name of all chips, the battery and so on. There is also a video on how to take apart the iPhone 8 from Apple.
iPhone 8 Drop Test: The phone breaks that quickly
Speaking of video: There are already some drop tests or drop test videos on YouTube that show how quickly the iPhone 8 breaks if it falls. The following video compares an unprotected iPhone 8 and an iPhone 8 with a case. The case comes from Anker and is not yet available in Germany - there is already one from Anker Armored glass films for the iPhone 8 and one KARAPAX case for iPhone X. You can find more covers and cases in the post that I linked above;)
