iPhone 13 Back Glass Replacement in 2025, Shocking Costs, Repair Options & Warranty Secrets
The iPhone 13 looks sleek with its glass back, but that design is also what makes it fragile.
A simple drop can cause spiderweb cracks that spread quickly, especially around the camera housing.
While the aluminum frame holds strong, the glass panel itself is one of the most common repairs for iPhone 13 owners.
iPhone 13 Back Glass Repair Cost
At a trusted local shop, iPhone 13 back glass replacement usually costs $89–$139, depending on whether you choose aftermarket or OEM glass.
Apple’s out-of-warranty pricing is much higher, typically $169–$229 before tax.
- Aftermarket Back Glass: Durable and affordable, but may show as “Unknown Part” in settings.
- OEM Glass (Apple): Genuine Apple glass, better for resale value, but significantly more expensive.

MagSafe and Wireless Charging
Like newer models, the iPhone 13 has a MagSafe ring and wireless charging coil embedded under the glass. If the coil is damaged or misaligned during a fall or repair, you may lose wireless charging or see reduced charging speeds. Professional repair ensures MagSafe remains fully functional.
Symptoms of Back Glass Damage
A cracked back isn’t just cosmetic. Here are signs it’s time for replacement:
- Cracks or spiderweb fractures across the back panel.
- Sharp glass shards that make the phone unsafe to handle.
- Wireless charging issues, including overheating or failure to charge.
- Camera haze or dust intrusion if cracks reach the lens area.

At a professional shop, iPhone 13 back glass replacement takes about 2 to 4 hours using a precision laser removal process.
