Cracking the screen on your new iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 is a nightmare. These devices use the world’s most advanced display technology, which makes repair both complex and expensive. Before you head to the nearest shop in Brooklyn, here are the 5 essential facts every owner should know.
1. The Face ID & True Tone Trap
In 2026, Apple’s security is tighter than ever. If a technician simply swaps the screen without “Pairing” or “Reprogramming,” your Face ID will stop working and your True Tone will vanish. At AVENUE D CELLULAR, we use specialized 2026-gen programmers to transfer your original screen’s data to the new display.
2. Ceramic Shield vs. Replacement Glass
The iPhone 15 and 16 feature “Ceramic Shield” glass. Many cheap shops in Brooklyn use standard tempered glass as replacements, which shatters 3x easier. Always ask if the replacement part meets the original Ceramic Shield durability standards.
3. 2026 Price Guide: Brooklyn Market Rates
Don’t overpay. Here is the average cost for professional screen repair in Brooklyn for the latest models:
| Model |
Est. Repair Cost |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | $349 – $429 |
| iPhone 16 / 15 Plus | $279 – $329 |
| iPhone 15 Pro | $299 – $379 |
| iPhone 15 (Standard) | $229 – $279 |
💡
Pro Tip: If a price seems too good to be true (like $99 for an iPhone 16), it’s likely a low-quality LCD being used instead of an OLED.
4. The Danger of “Ghost Touch”
Poorly manufactured screens for the 15 and 16 series often suffer from “Ghost Touch”—where the phone starts clicking things on its own. Ensure your repair shop offers at least a 6-month warranty to protect you against these hardware defects.
5. Same-Day vs. Mail-In
Why wait 5 days for Apple or a mail-in service? Most expert shops on Utica Avenue can complete an iPhone 15/16 screen surgery in under 90 minutes. Your data stays safe, and your phone never leaves your sight.
