JAKARTA - The iPhone 12 screen is indeed equipped with a ceramic shield to reduce the risk of damage. But if in the future the iPhone 12 screen is damaged, Apple reveals the cost needed to repair it is around US $ 279 or around Rp.4.1 million.

Launching The Verge, the service fee is the same as the screen repair cost on the iPhone 11 Pro. Even though Apple has used a ceramic coating which is claimed to be stronger than cellphone screens in general.

The service fees charged by Apple for the iPhone 12 increased by around 80 US dollars or around Rp1, 1 million compared to the iPhone 11. Where, the iPhone 11 service costs were only around 199 US dollars (Rp2.9 million), as well as the cost of repairing 'other damage' around 449 US dollars (Rp7.3 million).

The increase in service costs is quite drastic for the iPhone 12, considering that Apple does use an OLED panel type and is different from the iPhone 11 which still uses an LCD. In fact, the cost of repairing the iPhone 12 Pro has not changed since 2017, when Apple released the iPhone X, which used an OLED screen for the first time.

Meanwhile, other repair costs that can be borne by AppleCare Plus are around US $ 99 or Rp1.4 million. That also does not include other possible damage that could be covered by Apple.

In fact, Apple coated the iPhone 12 screen with ceramic shield technology which is claimed to be more resilient when it falls. So just hope that with this new layer the iPhone 12 screen will be better protected, but if it does crack or break during a fall get ready to spend more for the service fee.
