iPhone 16 Screen Replacement in Burlington & Oakville: Aftermarket vs Original (Honest Guide)

Hey everyone, it’s Maurice from Level 2 Repair in Burlington.

If you’ve cracked your iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, or 16 Pro Max, you’re probably wondering whether to go with the expensive original Apple screen or a high-quality aftermarket one.

Let me give you the straight talk.

Aftermarket screens today are basically identical to the originals in terms of quality, brightness, colour accuracy, touch response, and durability. The only real difference? Apple shows a small message saying the display part is not a genuine Apple component.

That’s it. No reduced performance. No safety issues. Just a little notification from Apple.

Most of our customers see the message once and completely forget about it — it doesn’t affect how the phone works at all.
