Hi there,
I recently cracked my iPhone 6 display, and I'm looking to get it replaced.
At the moment, Apple are charging £86.44 to replace the display. I was looking to see if I could do this myself, but the ifixit euro store is charging £94 for the part alone.
The phone has been out for over a year, so is there a reason why the part is still quite expensive?
Thanks.
Is this a good question?

It's absolutely normal that the screen will cost a little expensive. The iPhone 6 isn't an old device it has only 1 year (Apple create a new iPhone every year...) And also, the 6s has approximatively the same components (Except the CPU A9 and other ameliorations)

I would only go to the Apple store for a replacement. There are many kinds of screen available in the market, Apple original, copy, aftermarket, refurbished e.t.c. If you go to a third party you run the risk of getting an inferior screen which is likely to cause problems down the track. To save 15 - 20 pounds going to a third party is simply not worth it. There is also a high chance you may break the front camera and proximity sensor while removing the screen if you try and DIY.
