Apple iPhone 7 Plus Screen
The Apple iPhone 7 Plus screen is designed to replace your old display that no longer responds to touch, has dead pixels, or was accidentally dropped and completely damaged. By replacing the screen, your phone will work like new again.
Screen Versions
When purchasing an Apple iPhone 7 Plus screen replacement, it's important to pay attention to the screen version. There are three main manufacturers supplying LCD displays for this model: LG (DTP, C3F), Toshiba (C11, FVQ, F7C), and a Universal Version. While all screens are made according to Apple's strict standards, compatibility between different iPhone devices can vary.
Why Is This Important?
When your iPhone was manufactured, it was calibrated to work with a specific manufacturer's screen. If you replace the screen with one from a different manufacturer, you may encounter issues with touch sensitivity or 3D Touch functionality. For example, if your phone originally had an LG screen and you install a Toshiba screen, there is about a 50% chance that the touch function will not work properly because the sensitivity range of LG screens differs significantly from Toshiba.
How to Identify Your Screen Version
On your old screen's 3D Touch panel, there is a long serial code. The first three characters indicate the manufacturer:
- LG: DTP, C3F
- Toshiba: C11, FVQ, F7C
Pay attention to this code, as choosing the same type of screen you had before will help you avoid potential compatibility issues.
Universal Version
If you don't know which manufacturer's screen you had or cannot check, you can choose the Universal screen. The universal version is designed to be compatible with all manufacturers.
Screen Qualities
Below we present the available iPhone 7 Plus screen qualities, from the highest to the lowest, so you can choose the most suitable display that meets your needs.
Original
An Original screen is the manufacturer's factory-made display, possessing all the original screen properties: color gamut, contrast, and resolution.
Used A/B Quality
- A Quality screen assembly – a used original screen in excellent condition, which often looks like new but may have minor scratches visible only against the light. There may also be signs of disassembly.
- B Quality screen assembly – a well-functioning used original part with scratches or minor dents on the frame if present, but the screen is not heavily scratched. There may also be signs of disassembly.
Refurbished
What does a refurbished part mean? It's a part that had a defect, but it was removed—for example, a cracked glass or a faulty backlight module. The flaw or malfunction is completely eliminated, and the electronic part remains original, so the screen will work flawlessly.
Premium
The Premium class iPhone 7 Plus screen is made from the highest quality top glass, touch screen, polarizer, adhesives, frame, and other components. Compared to the original iPhone screen, you won't notice any difference—the screen brightness and colors are identical. Also, the Premium class assemblies stand out because they come pre-assembled with all the small components: backlight and camera holders, dust protection for the speaker (except for the main button), saving you time and reducing the complexity of the repair work.
ZY Premium
The ZY Premium class black screen assembly comes with a frame and pre-attached and ready-to-use holders. The highest quality materials are used, providing a 1:1 resolution and top-quality colors compared to the original display. The touch screen does not use an engraving pattern, ensuring smooth and highly sensitive operation, with all components integrated to provide a black screen effect. A better quality oleophobic coating provides resistance to water and greasy stains.
ZY brand screen assemblies are characterized by high-quality products and competitive prices. Compared to original screens, ZY displays are close to them in terms of brightness and color gamut. Hengweiye Technology, using the ZY brand, has over 12 years of experience in phone screen manufacturing and assembly.
Tianma
The Tianma iPhone 7 Plus screen has a good reputation for producing high-quality iPhone displays that are almost indistinguishable from the original, as the backlight and color gamut are nearly identical. Of course, there are slight differences between Tianma (TM) and original screens—such as screen weight, which is slightly heavier compared to the original, and screen thickness, but these are minimal, as different materials are used in production.
High Quality
The High-Quality screen is one of the more affordable options, but not the worst screen assembly. High-quality materials were used in its production, so you will hardly notice any difference compared to the original screen and won't feel it during use.
