iPhone XR Back Glass Repair in 2025, The Shocking Truth About Costs, Repair Times & Apple’s Hidden Fees
The iPhone XR was Apple’s “budget flagship” when it launched, but it shares the same all-glass back design as premium models.
That glossy finish looks great, but it also makes the phone fragile. Even a short drop can leave the rear panel spiderwebbed with cracks.
iPhone XR Back Glass Repair Cost
At a trusted local repair shop, iPhone XR back glass replacement usually costs $69–$109, depending on aftermarket or OEM glass. At the Apple Store, the same repair without AppleCare+ typically costs $149–$199 before tax.
- Aftermarket Back Glass: Strong and affordable, but may show as “Unknown Part.”
- OEM Glass (Apple): Genuine Apple glass, better for resale, but much pricier.

Wireless Charging Coil Issues
The iPhone XR doesn’t have MagSafe, but it does have a wireless charging coil beneath the glass. If the glass is shattered, the coil may be damaged or misaligned, leading to slower charging or failure to charge wirelessly.
Professional repair ensures proper alignment.
Symptoms of Back Glass Damage
Signs your iPhone XR needs repair include:
- Spiderweb cracks across the back panel.
- Sharp glass shards making it unsafe to hold.
- Wireless charging issues after drops.
- Camera haze or dust entering through cracks.
