    Hi
    wondering if anyone here has experience in either repair of these SE model phones or sending to a Dublin repair workshop?

    I have 2x problems to fix :(


    The more important one is the usual smashed screen, fell off a counter onto a tiled floor on one of the few occasions I had it out of its griffin case ffs. Phone works but its well smashed cant really use

    The rear camera hasn't worked almost from the start (won't focus...apparently its a known problem but I never got around to sending it back to Apple)


    Anyway, I have heard that not all the screens used by the repair shops or in the self-repair kits are of an OEM standard or even retina type?!

    Most obliged if someone could advise me either:
    1) a repair shop that uses quality Apple standard screens OR a self repair kit to look out for that I could DIY
    2) camera replacement as a bonus (I haven't found much online about the rear camera online atall)

    thanks :(

    No one but Apple uses the OEM parts. And non-OEM screens can be poor. If you want a proper screen repair, it really needs to go back to Apple. Screen repair costs are on the Apple website.
