iPhone 11 Back Glass Replacement in 2025, Real Costs, Repair Secrets & What Apple Won’t Tell You
The iPhone 11 was one of Apple’s best-selling models, but it’s also one of the most common for back glass repairs. The large glass panel is prone to cracks when dropped, and the aluminum frame doesn’t always protect against impact. Even a short fall can leave spiderweb cracks across the back.
iPhone 11 Back Glass Repair Cost
At a local shop, iPhone 11 back glass replacement usually costs $69–$109, depending on whether you choose aftermarket or OEM glass. Apple’s out-of-warranty pricing is significantly higher, typically $149–$199 before tax.
- Aftermarket Back Glass: Strong and affordable, but may show as “Unknown Part” in repair history.
- OEM Glass (Apple): Genuine Apple glass, better for resale value, but far more expensive.

Wireless Charging and Coil Issues
While the iPhone 11 doesn’t have MagSafe, it still relies on a wireless charging coil under the glass. Cracks or impact damage can weaken the coil, causing slow charging, overheating, or complete charging failure. Professional repair ensures the coil is aligned and working properly after replacement.
Symptoms of Back Glass Damage
It’s time for repair if you notice:
- Spiderweb cracks spreading across the back.
- Sharp glass shards making the phone unsafe to handle.
- Wireless charging issues after a drop.
- Dust or camera haze from cracks reaching the lens housing.
