Zagg will pay toward your iPhone screen repair if InvisibleShield fails to protect it

Zagg is pretty confident in its InvisibleShield screen-protection technology. In fact, if you shell out the money for its $79 kit, which comes with a Sapphire Defense Screen and iFrogz Clear Vue Case, the company will cover the cost of a broken screen up to $100 if InvisibleShield fails to prevent cracks.

To make use of the new deal, you’ll need to register your device and the screen protector you bought. Then, if your screen does crack, you can file a claim by sending photos of the crack along with a receipt for the repair. You don’t need to have the iFrogz case installed to file a claim — only the screen protector.

So how will Zagg pay you back? The company will send you a gift card for the repair up to $100.

While quite generous, it’s important to keep in mind that most screen repairs for flagship phones will run past the $100 mark — Apple lists out-of-warranty repairs of the iPhone 7 Plus screen as costing $149, while many others fall in the $129-$139 mark. Still, even if you do get the full $100 from Zagg, only having to pay $50 yourself for the repair is a pretty sweet deal. The plan itself also only applies to the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and later iPhone models, so if you’re still rocking an iPhone 5s, you’re a little out of luck.

“We take great pride in our industry-leading InvisibleShield lifetime warranty program,” said Brian Setch, president of Zagg, in a statement. “With our new InvisibleShield Screen Guarantee Plan, the best just got better. If your screen breaks with our products protecting it, we will help pay for the repair. We want our customers to live without the fear of unexpected drops and resulting damage that are so disruptive to their mobile lifestyle.”

One more thing– if you’re lucky enough to be attending CES this year, look out for InvisibleShield agents, which will be scouring the show looking for phones to install InvisibleShield on — for free. Check out the video below for more info.

You can fix your own iPhone screen, but you may not want to

Apple surprised us last year when it announced a new self-service repair program to allow iPhone owners to replace their own broken screens, aging batteries, and other key components.

That program finally launched last month, although, at this point, it’s limited to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 families. Nevertheless, if you’re thinking that this may finally let you fix your own screen, you might want to take a closer look at the various other service options available. Apple’s new Self Service Repair program isn’t for the faint of either heart or wallet.
How much does Apple charge to replace a screen?
Unless you have AppleCare+ (more on that later), you’ll need to shell out between $229 and $329 to have your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 screen professionally replaced at an Apple Store. The exact amount depends on whether you own an iPhone 12 Mini or an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

5 useful Home screen tweaks every iPhone owner can try

Apple’s iOS software has a reputation for not being as customizable as Google’s Android, and while it’s true to a certain extent, there’s still quite a lot you can do to make the Home screen more useful, less cluttered, and give it a style that’s all yours. I use iOS every day and these are the five things I’ve done to make my iPhone unique to me and at the same time gain more usability.
Use separate wallpapers
You don’t have to use the same wallpaper for the lock screen as you do the Home screen, and vice versa. Although it may sound like a small thing, it makes a big difference to legibility. I like this because it allows me to highlight a picture on the lock screen, without it interfering visually with the many colorful app icons that appear on the Home screen.

Don’t hold your breath for an in-screen Touch ID on iPhones

Apple might not offer an under-display fingerprint sensor on its iPhones for the next couple of years at least. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the slate of iPhones coming in 2023 and 2024 will most likely stick with Face ID as the biometric authentication protocol.

Kuo, who maintains a fairly reliable track record at predicting Apple’s future product road map, claimed last year that an iPhone with under-screen Touch ID will arrive in 2023. Separate reports from Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal also claimed that Apple has been experimenting with an under-display fingerprint sensor for a while now.
