There are a few common issues that can happen to an iPhone screen. The most common problem is iPhone screen glass cracked. If you break your iPhone glass and contact a phone repair store they normally ask you if the LCD still works or not. If you are lucky and your LCD and touch still in a working condition, cost of your iPhone screen repair will be roughly half of the scenario in which your LCD and touch is broken too. Reason is iPhone screen consist of two layers: 1- LCD which displays the images and also have the touch ability embedded. 2- Glass which protects the LCD layer and make it easier for your finger to move when you are using your iPhone. So it will be wise to diagnose your type of iPhone screen repair before accepting any quotation. Below we are showing two photos of each scenario:

As you can see in above photo, iPhone glass is smashed but the image still ok. If touch functionality still good too then the iPhone screen repair will be limited only to glass replacement and you do not need to pay for the LCD which is an expensive part.
You may ask how I can make sure that the touch still works too? you can simply test it by holding your finger on one of your iPhone apps and try to move covering all homepage area. If the app you are holding drops in a point or line it means in that area the touch function has been damaged too. Also you can see below video which shows you how to test the touch.
In some situation the damage is more and it effects the LCD like above photo. As you see in some areas Image is not showing which shows that LCD has been damaged in those cells and has to be replaced with a new LCD as well as the glass. In this scenario cost of iPhone screen repair will be roughly about double comparing to only iPhone screen repair in first scenario.
There is another scenario in which iPhone glass is not broken but Image or touch are affected! This can happen because of special physical damages or liquid damages. In this case cost of iPhone screen repair is the same as LCD and glass replacement.
