lcd display iphone 7 plus free sample

With its all-glass front screen, dropping your iPhone 7 Plus could lead to cracks and scratches. If your screen breaks, it doesn’t mean that you need a new phone — an iPhone 7 Plus LCD screen replacement might solve the problem. Since the screen is such a crucial part of the phone, it’s important to know what to look for in a replacement on eBay.

Touch capability: Most of the iPhone 7 Plus functions are controlled by the touchscreen; when you’re shopping for a new screen, make sure that it includes the LCD and the touch assembly as a single unit.

Retina technology: The iPhone 7 Plus LCD screen that came with the original Apple device was made with the brand’s Retina high-definition technology. To ensure the same performance, make sure that your replacement screen is also a 5.5-inch Retina display.

Connectors: The iPhone 7 Plus screen uses a digitizer cable with two separate connectors. Compare the replacement screen’s connectors to your device to make sure you’re getting the correct match. Keep in mind that while the iPhone 6 Plus screen is the same size, it uses different connectors — make sure to get a model that’s 7 Plus-specific.

Home button: Some replacement screens come with a home button; others simply have a hole that fits your iPhone’s original home button. If your device has a cracked or damaged button, it’s important to find a screen that includes a replacement button.

Frame: The edge of the iPhone 7 Plus screen is reinforced by a slim frame that matches the color of the case. As you’re looking for a new one, make sure the frame is the same shade as the back cover of your phone.

Some of the replacement screens you find on eBay are used models; these products can be cheaper than new models, particularly when it comes to Apple-branded parts. Before you buy a used part, ensure that it’s completely free of scratches or cracks, as they can affect the functionality of the touchscreen. Then, ensure that the screen has the correct cables for the iPhone 7 Plus. If it’s working and in pristine condition, you can usually buy a used screen with confidence.

The P3 Display color space has a larger color gamut than an sRGB color space, with more saturated reds and greens. For information on supporting wide color in your app, see

A True Tone display uses advanced ambient light sensors to automatically adapt the color and intensity of the display to match the light in the surrounding environment. Different kinds of apps many need to react to these changes differently. To specify how the display should adapt when your app is frontmost, see UIWhitePointAdaptivityStyle.

The display hardware periodically captures data from sensors embedded in the screen. When a user touches the screen, the sensor information is recorded, processed, and delivered to UIKit. On displays that support 3D Touch, additional information about how much pressure the user applied to the display is also recorded. Only some displays support Apple Pencil. On these displays, the capture rate is different when reading Apple Pencil events than the capture rate for finger touches, and additional stylus information, such as the azimuth, is also recorded in each event.

This LCD and Touch Screen Assembly Replacement for the iPhone 7 Plus includes the small parts pre-installed. Along with the digitizer and LCD, this part includes the front camera, earpiece, home button link cable and LCD shield plate. This greatly simplifies the repair, as you do not have to transfer the parts over from your damaged phone.

In Union Repair store, we grade our iPhone screen into 5 different types of quality on the basis of different material assembled. The following is the full details of each condition.

It is with widely accept major complaint replacements for original parts, which keeps a right balance between price and quality. It has sustainable supplying chain in China, and all the components of the screen are copy quality. Typically, the LCD screen is from several different factories, the most popular 4 on China market are JK,AUO, LongTeng, and ShenChao. By comparing the brightness and sharpness of the LCD, we found JK is the best quality among them and the second best is AUO. No doubt, the other components on the screen are all copy.

It is better than After Market Basic cause it comes with original laminated flexes and the LCD panel. Other components like touch panel, frame(hot pressed), backlight, polarize lens, and OCA is all copy from different factories.

The core components (like LCD and flexes) is 100% original pulled from used iPhone while the frame and touch panel is copy. The touch panel and frame come together with cold pressed glue and assembled together with the LCD by the capable third-party factory which keeps its excellent quality.

No doubt, it is tear down from used iPhone with all the parts 100% original and working perfectly just like an original new screen, it has whatever the original new screen has. The only complaint about this quality is that some of the displays are with 1 or 2 scratches but still be welcome by our critical customers who are requiring good quality.

It is 100% original from Apple-authorized factories like Toshiba, Sharp, and LG. We get this kind of screen from the first level dealer. The touch panel of the screen is oleophobic coated which prevents from fingerprints when using your iPhone. And starting with iPhone 7g, the backlight from different authorized factories comes with a different code. Backlight from Sharp has the code begins with DKH/CON, from Toshiba begins with C11/F7C/FZQ, from LG begins with DTP/C3F.

The latest iPhone has one of the best displays of any smartphone you can buy. That"s always been true. What"s interesting in 2016 is that Apple manages to be among best despite using LCD, a technology every other flagship has left behind.

The Galaxy S7 and Note 7. The Nexus 6P. The Moto Z. The LG G5. The OnePlus 3. Take any high-end smartphone, and what you see on the front isn"t LCD, like the iPhone 7. It"s OLED (or AMOLED, which is similar enough for our purposes that we"ll conflate the two). There"s good reason for that, says Ray Soneira, president of DisplayMate Technologies.

"[OLEDs are] much thinner, much lighter, with a much smaller bezel providing a near rimless design, they can be made flexible and into curved screens," writes Soneira in a post analyzing the iPhone 7"s display prowess. "Plus they have a very fast response time, better viewing angles, and an always-on display mode."

That may seem like an odd thing to write in the context of extolling the LCD iPhone"s virtues. But the iPhone 7 lacking those attributes makes its performance all the more impressive.

Apple"s latest smartphone may look like the two that came before it, but its display is one of the components that has leveled up considerably. Soneira found that it beat its forbearer in basically every measurable regard. It also beats out smartphone displays of any stripe for important attributes like peak brightness and highest absolute color accuracy.

It"s not necessarily the best display overall; the Galaxy 7 was DisplayMate"s pick for best OLED display, and choosing a winner amounts to a toss-up. "They are both great state-of-the-art displays," says Soneira. "But OLEDs and LCDs have different inherent native strengths and weaknesses, so neither display wins in all display performance categories."

What"s intriguing is that the iPhone 7 comes close at all, given just how many strengths OLED has. In addition to the attributes Soneira named above, OLED can also be more power-efficient, as it requires enough juice to light only the individual pixels that need it, as opposed to LCD, which depends on a single backlight to fire up your display.

"Since the iPhone 7 has a Retina display it doesn"t need the 4K resolution," says Soneira. "It already appears perfectly sharp at its normal viewing distances."

In fact, the iPhone 7 has the highest absolute color accurace of any display of any kind measured by DisplayMate, meaning it beats out even high-end HDTVs and monitors. The upshot? Those high-tops you were thinking of buying will show up on your doorstep the exact shade of green that they were at Zappos.com.

The only downside is that it looks as though Apple may have hit the limits of what it can accomplish with LCD in a smartphone. In fact, despite being largely the same technology, the iPhone 7 display falls short of the killer iPad Pro"s because smartphones don"t play as nice with the tablet"s scratch-friendly anti-reflective coating. An LCD display can also never curve, or flex, or offer quite the same efficiency as its OLED counterpart, no matter how advanced it gets.

That explains, at least in part, reports that Apple will be shifting to OLED next year---supplied at least in part by LG and Samsung---in at least one model. The iPhone may be the best LCD smartphone display out there, but there"s not much competition for the title. Everyone else has already moved on to what"s next.

The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are here and, once again, it is the Plus model where Apple’sgreatest innovation is being shown. But more people will buy the iPhone 7 than the iPhone 7 Plus, so are they making a mistake and does the new Plus offer enough changes from the iPhone 6S Plus to warrant an upgrade?

As much as it is superficial to complain about the exterior of the iPhone 7 Plus, it is disappointing to see Apple retain a virtually identical exterior design for the third year running. But there are a few important upgrades and one very controversial downgrade.

The good news is the iPhone 7 Plus is finally water resistant. Unofficially the old iPhone 6S Plus was actually pretty resistant to getting splashed, but now the iPhone 7 Plus is specifically designed to handle full submersion for up to 30 minutes.

The home button on the iPhone 7 Plus is also no longer an obvious breaking point as the mechanism has been replaced by a touch sensitive fixed surface with haptic feedback. Rival HTC already made this switch successfully with the HTC 10 and it should prove a fairly seamless transition for most users.

But how Apple has found room to cram in the haptic engine for the new home ‘button’ is controversial as the iPhone 7 Plus removes the headphone jack seen on every previous iPhone to date. You may be frustrated,but it was coming.

Apple cites “courage” in the decision and its aim of moving users to a wireless wonderland is potentially admirable, but it is also divisive. iPhone 7 Plus owners will have to use either Apple’s $159 wireless AirPods or Bluetooth headphones while those determined to stick to cables will have to either buy Lightning headphones or use a Lighting to 3.5mm adapter Apple bundles with the phone.

None of which solves the problem of charging the iPhone 7 Plus while listening to music (you’ll need separate accessories for that) and the decision will prove a major test of customer loyalty.

A keen eye will spot Apple has removed the antenna bands from the back of the iPhone 7 Plus for a cleaner look than the iPhone 6S Plus, but that won’t sell the new iPhone on its own. Of more substance, however, is a boost to the earpiece speaker at the top of the iPhone 7 Plus which means it has louder dual stereo loudspeakers for the first time compared to the iPhone 6S Plus which is stuck with mono.

Lastly Apple is offering the iPhone 7 Plus in a wider array of colours: Rose Gold, Gold, Silver, Black and (on 128GB and 256GB models) Jet Black. Space Grey has been canned.

If you think the changes to the exterior of the iPhone 7 Plus are small, however, it will take an even keener eye to spot the upgrades to the display:

Yes, while rivals have been using OLED panels with 2K resolutions for some time now Apple has again stuck with 1080p LCD. The good news is Apple has boosted the peak brightness of the iPhone 7 Plus by 25% compared to the iPhone 6S Plus and added support for a wide (P3) color gamut for greater display accuracy, but there’s no revolution here.

Then again, if there are some complaints about the exterior of the iPhone 7 Plus, there will be no such issues with its internals. Performance looks set to be a knockout:

There are two highlights here. Firstly that Apple has released its first quad core Apple chipset and secondly that the iPhone 7 Plus has 3GB of RAM - 50% more than both the iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 7. This leads Apple to claim substantial CPU and GPU increases of 40% and 50% respectively over the iPhone 6S Plus.

Performance upgrades in the last two years are significant and the iPhone 7 Plus has extra RAM... [+]compared to both the iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 7. Image credit: Apple

Apple has also updated the modem in the iPhone 7 Plus to support 4G speeds up to 450Mbit (though unlikely to be noticed in reality from the 300Mbit capable modem in the iPhone 6S Plus), but the shocker is no CDMA support this year.

The problem stems from Apple adding Intel as a modem supplier for the iPhone 7 Plus and it has no support for CDMA frequencies. The iPhone 7 Plus will still be released on Verizon and Sprint, though both carriers have yet to explain exactly how this will work nationwide.

iPhone 7 Plus - Rear: Dual 12MP sensors (f/1.8, 28mm & f/2.8, 56mm), Focus Pixels, OIS, 2x optical zoom, quad-LED (dual tone) flash, 4K video recording. Front: 7MP sensor, f/2.2 aperture, 1080p recording

iPhone 6S Plus - Rear: 12 megapixel sensor, f2.2 aperture, Focus Pixels, OIS, dual-LED flash, 4K video recording. Front: 5MP Front Camera, f2.2 aperture, 720p video recording

There’s a lot to take in here, with the key change being the dual camera (wide angle and telephoto lenses) on the rear of the iPhone 7 Plus. This combination offers users a 2x optical zoom for the first time (and an improved digital zoom up to 10x) while the larger aperture and enhanced LED flash will allow for significantly better photos in low light. Even the iPhone 7 only has a single rear camera.

There’s also a new 6-element camera lens (the iPhone 6S Plus has a 5-element lens) which Apple says is re-engineered from the ground up for improved optics as well as a new Apple chipset for better processing of images after they are taken.

The front facing camera on the iPhone 7 Plus also gets a boost. It has jumped from 5MP to 7MP which enables 1080p video recording for the first time, though it would have been nice to see a larger aperture.

Uses desperate for longer battery life from the new iPhones have to face some pros and cons here. On the plus side the iPhone 7 Plus will last up to one hour longer than the iPhone 6S Plus, but the downside is that’s not much for all the supposed extra space losing the headphone jack was supposed to free up.

I also think this is the year Apple should have adopted wireless charging - again common on rivals - as it would give a convenient alternative for the aforementioned charging / listening to music dilemma. So its one step forward with the iPhone 7 Plus, one step back.

Apple has added $20 to the asking price of each iPhone 7 Plus storage option, but that matters little when it has also doubled all capacities. So out go: 16/64/128GB and in comes new 32/128/256GB tiers.

On paper this makes the iPhone 7 Plus far better value than the 2015 iPhone 6S Plus, but for owners who don’t own either model Apple has a surprise: it has unleashed a 2016 tweak of the iPhone 6S Plus which also upgrades their storage (though there’s no 256GB option):

In some ways Apple’s generosity with the old model could cause problems. For a saving of $20 buying a 128GB iPhone 6S Plus instead of a 32GB iPhone 7 Plus is tempting (especially for those wedded to the headphone jack), but I do think the added durability and camera capabilities of the new model are worth the extra if you don’t own either model.

Pick up the iPhone 7 Plus with no knowledge of what’s inside and you will be disappointed. Apple really should have done more to modernise the exterior of the new model after three generations (smaller bezels, better grip, etc) but there’s still a lot here to enjoy.

From a practical standpoint the iPhone 7 Plus is more durable, water resistant, longer lasting and much faster than the iPhone 6S Plus and it packs a potentially game changing camera. Then again I do think in the year 2016, Apple should have basics like fast charging out the box, wireless charging, a 2K resolution and OLED panel in such an expensive phone.

Would I upgrade from the iPhone 6S Plus to the iPhone 7 Plus? No. In fact it isn’t certain I’d upgrade from the iPhone 6 Plus to the iPhone 7 Plus. That said iPhone 7 Plus owners are likely to findjust enoughthis year to keep them happy until Applerips up the rulebook next year...

Good news: Apple"s (sort of) got your back. Broken iPhone screens are so ridiculously common that the company has apparently decided they don"t even need to charge that much for the repair -- because, you know, so many people are coming in with the problem that they"re making money regardless. So here are your options for fixing (or not fixing) that broken iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

A broken iPhone 7 or 7 Plus screen isn"t the end of the world. If the cracks in your screen are minimal and purely cosmetic, you may want to put off repairs until they"re actually problematic. I suggest picking up a glass screen protector -- such as Ventev"s ToughGlass for iPhone 7 or Case-Mate"s Gilded Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 7 Plus -- to keep cracks from spreading (and to prevent any cuts as you slide your finger across the screen).

If you have AppleCare+, a broken iPhone 7 or 7 Plus screen will cost a mere $29 to fix. However, AppleCare+ costs $129 and only covers two broken screen incidents per device -- so your first broken screen will actually cost $158 (which is more than a broken screen replacement for an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus without AppleCare+), but if you break it a second time the cost-per-incident will go down to $93.50. To check if your device is covered by AppleCare+, go here and enter your iPhone serial number.

Without AppleCare+, the cost for fixing screen damage (and only screen damage) is still very reasonable: $129 for an iPhone 7 screen and $149 for an iPhone 7 Plus screen.

To get your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus screen fixed by Apple, you will need to take your phone into an Apple Store or send it into an Apple Repair Center. Sending a phone into an Apple Repair Center will cost $6.95 in shipping fees, and your phone will be returned to you approximately three to five business days after the Repair Center receives your device -- so this option could mean as much as a week without your phone. In-store screen repairs usually take about an hour to an hour and a half, but you will need to reserve a spot at the Genius Bar (and you may not be able to get a same-day reservation, depending on how busy your local store is).

Have your Apple ID password ready: You will need to unlock your phone and turn off Find My iPhone before the techs will take your device. You"ll need your Apple ID password to do this, so make sure you have it handy (this is especially important if you"re taking someone else"s phone in).

Most third-party repair services can"t repair an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus screen for significantly less than $129 to $149, and any discount you"ll get might not be worth the risk. Third-party repair services usually use third-party parts in their repairs -- and some of these parts may not be up to Apple"s usual standard of excellence.

If you go to a bad third-party repair shop, you may end up with problems like a home button that no longer recognizes fingerprints... or a bricked iPhone. And if a third-party repair shop bricks your iPhone, not only will you void your phone"s warranty, Apple may refuse to work on your phone at all. So, if you do decide to go with a third-party repair, make sure they offer a warranty on their service and any parts they replace.

If you’ve decided on an iPhone, but want to save a little money, then you may want to consider picking up an older model. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are no longer being sold by Apple, but you can pick them both up from a range of retailers or on the used phone market.

They aren’t massively different from the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, but they do provide some impressive improvements — outlined in our iPhone 7 review and iPhone 7 Plus review. So, which should you pick? The iPhone 7 or its bigger brother, the 7 Plus?

Both devices are powered by Apple’s A10 Fusion chip, a 64-bit architecture the company says is 40% faster than the A9 in the iPhone 6S and the 6S Plus and 120 times faster than the original iPhone. The A10 Fusion has even been used in later Apple devices, such as the 2019 iPad (10.2-inch), so it’s still a capable chip. The quad-core processor was a first for iPhones when the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus came out — two cores are for high-performance actions, and the other two are designed for tasks where efficiency is more important. An Apple-designed performance controller determines which actions make use of either set of cores. Checking your email, for example, will most likely be powered by the high-efficiency cores, which saves battery life.

Graphics performance is up to 50% faster than the A9, according to Apple. Performance is a tie between the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and the same goes for internal storage options — both devices come with 32, 128, and 256GB options. The pair also have stereo speakers, making them equals in audio output as well.

Battery life is better on the iPhone 7 Plus because its larger size can accommodate a slightly larger battery. You get an additional hour of internet use on LTE on the Plus model. Both are charged via the Lightning cable and sadly there’s no support for wireless charging.

The overall design of both is similar to that introduced with the iPhone 6. Apple hit home the “seamless” design that blends the glass on the front and the rear case, and that’s partly due to a relocation of the antenna bands, which are to be found on the top and bottom edges of the devices. The buttons are in the same place, but the home button is no longer a button. The Force Touch home button acts like the Force Touch trackpad on the MacBook Pro — you’ll feel a Taptic vibration whenever you push down on it.

The camera, which still juts out a bit, is where you’ll find the main design difference between the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (aside from size). The 7 Plus features a dual-camera system — a brand new addition for the range — whereas the 7 only has a single rear camera. Both models come in rose gold, gold, silver, black, and a high-gloss jet-black variant.

The jet-black model brings us to durability. Due to its high-gloss nature, it’s the only color option that Apple recommended you get a case for, because it’s prone to scratches. That’s right — the company showcased and praised the jet-black finish, but wanted you to cover it up with a case. Go figure. Apple discontinued this jet-black color option well before it retired the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are IP67 rated, meaning they’re water- and dust-resistant. You can take them underwater up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, though the rating’s intent is to protect the device from accidental water damage.

The 4.7-inch iPhone 7 has a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels (326 ppi) — that’s the same as the iPhone 6S. The 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus gets a bump to Full HD with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (401 ppi), also the same on the 6S Plus.

But the Retina HD LED screens are better than ever before — Apple says the displays on both devices are 25% brighter and display a wider color gamut. So the comparison here really comes down to size. If you want a larger screen, go for the iPhone 7 Plus. If you want a smaller screen, the iPhone 7 is the smartphone for you. Although it’s worth noting that the iPhone 7 Plus screen is also significantly sharper.

This is the meat of the comparison between the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, and the bigger variant wins it easily. The iPhone 7 Plus is the phone you should get if you want a better camera experience, and that’s because of its dual-camera system.

That’s not to say the iPhone 7’s camera isn’t good — far from it. The 12MP rear camera features a 28-mm wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture. It’s 60 percent faster than the camera on the 6S, while also 30 percent more energy efficient. Even the True Tone flash has gotten an upgrade that offers up to 50 percent more light. The cameras can identify faces and bodies, and they also offer wide color capture. There’s even support for RAW image format, allowing for more control when editing photographs.

Take all of that and add it to the iPhone 7 Plus, except add another 12MP rear camera. The second camera on the rear is a 56mm telephoto lens with a f/2.8 aperture. It essentially lets you zoom in on images at up to 10x magnification, with spectacular clarity and quality. Still, optical zoom is utilized until the 2x mark. Anything higher than that is a digital zoom.

There’s also an exciting blur feature, or bokeh, which was provided by a software update soon after the original iPhone 7 Plus launch. It uses the dual-lens and some software tinkering to recognize the subject in a photo and blur out the background, like on DSLRs with wide apertures. It offers more depth to images, but you can turn this feature on or off. You’re also able to see a live preview before you take a shot.

Both these iPhones were released with iOS 10, but have since been updated to iOS 14, and we expect them to receive a few more updates yet. The software experience is identical, aside from the larger screen in the iPhone 7 Plus and some extra options in the camera app.

The iPhone 7 dropped down to $350 for the 32GB model while the iPhone 7 Plus dropped to $450, but Apple doesn’t offer any iPhone 7 models anymore. If you want one you’ll find them at some retailers, like Amazon and Best Buy (where you’ll mostly find “renewed” models), and in the thriving used market.

If you’re a photographer, chances are you’ll want to take advantage of the dual-camera setup on the iPhone 7 Plus. That’s really what dazzled us about the bigger iPhone. The additional hour of battery life, bigger and sharper screen, and 1GB of extra RAM are also tempting. Given the choice, even with the higher price, we’d pick the 7 Plus every time.
