Using Apple’s tool, they quote a screen replacement for an iPhone 7 or 8, start at A$265, iPhone X screen repair starts at A$465
How much is a newer iPhone compared to a screen repair?
Currently you can purchase reconditioned iPhone 8 and newer models from the Kogan website from around A$200.
However, the more current the model, the longer it will receive security updates. At the moment the latest iPhones appear to be receiving updates for up to 6 years.
Also consider that you can trade-in some iPhone models with Apple. Get $40–$650 when you trade in an iPhone model 7 or higher. Details here.
