Price of replacement screen
Hello. I'm the owner/operator of a small iPhone repair shop. Does anyone out there know why the iPhone 5 replacement screen is so expensive? Is it a supply issue? Is it a new technology issue? Also, any speculation on whether the price will come down? The best price I'm getting them for is $250-265. At that price, I charge my customers $300 for the repair. Apple charges $229 (I think). I'm concerned this is the beginning of the end of my business if the prices don't come down. Any insight from other repair shops?
Is this a good question?

I'm in the same boat. However. As soon as it has been out for a little while longer. Price will come down. As will the older models. It really isn't fun to hurry up and wait. But it is what we have to do. Or pay a little more. I'd love if someone would give a place where I could buy the screens under 175 or so. I've seen 150-250. From some wholesalers. Who is another good wholesaler?

Lg and sharp make the iPhone 5 lcd.
Most of them are made by lg
But for some reason lg stopped with producing the lcd's so there is a world wide shortage
Thad is the cause of the big inflation.
Lg needs to start the production again!
