Smartphone display repairs remain among the steepest out-of-pocket expenses for flagship owners, and future premium hardware looks to continue that trend. According to a report from Android Headlines, fixing a single cracked screen on an iPhone 18 Pro Max could run consumers as much as $379.

To mitigate these steep fees, users typically rely on dedicated protection coverage, extended warranties, or protective cases and screen protectors to safeguard their investment from accidental drops.
