No, Apple doesn&#x27;t sell parts, though it would be nice if they did.<p>The main way screens appear in the repair business is from companies in China that buy back screens with broken glass but functional LCD. They then replace the glass with new glass. Most of the screen is OEM, but not the top glass. They then ship these to repair shops and distributors, who use them to replace screens.<p>That&#x27;s why I mentioned in a previous comment that it&#x27;s all about the warranty with a repair shop. No shop will warranty a cracked or broken screen, but most decent shops will warranty digitizer (touch) issues as long as there&#x27;s no physical damage to the screen. That type of warranty is a must-have--there are only a small percentage of screens that go bad after a few days or weeks of use, but it really sucks if you get one and the shop refuses to replace it.<p>&gt; The whole electronics repair business seems rather immature and shady compared to something like car repair.<p>Well, both are shady (plenty of YouTube exposes on oil change places that upsell services, charge for them, and don&#x27;t perform them.) Honestly, one of the reasons I came into this industry was I was aware of the huge need for a non-shady repair shop in Austin, TX (where I live.) We&#x27;re the highest-rated independent repair shop in Austin, and we take that pretty seriously, since there are so many horror stories of bad computer&#x2F;game console&#x2F;phone repair shops out there. We do our best to do right by our customers.
