When sourcing iPhone screens, you will encounter three main types: Original (OEM), Soft OLED, and Hard OLED/In-cell LCD. Soft OLED is the preferred choice for professional repairers as it mimics the original flexible substrate, offering superior impact resistance and a perfect fit within the frame. Hard OLED is more cost-effective but more fragile and may have slightly larger bezels. For older models, In-cell LCDs are common, but ensure they maintain high brightness (min 500 nits) and accurate color reproduction to satisfy end-users.
