The Digitizer SCAM
Can the digitizer be separated from the LCD in the iPhone 4 like the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3Gs?
The straight answer is no, the digitizer cannot be separated from the LCD with the iPhone 4 due to Apple fusing them together at the factory. Gone are the days of cheap iPhone screen repair. Apple decided to seal the glass and LCD together to stop the issue they were having with dust getting between the digitizer and the LCD. Yes it makes sense, but it also makes the iPhone 4 repair more expensive because you have to replace the LCD with the digitizer as one part even if you have a fully functional LCD. Which brings me to my issue I have been seeing with sellers on Ebay and Amazon. There are people on the internet that are selling the iPhone 4 digitizers without the LCD. This is a OUTRIGHT SCAM! With just a quick search in google for iphone 4 digitzer replacement this is what I came up with:
I am not sure how Ebay is allowing these defective products to even be sold. My only guess is not enough people know that the digitizer/screen cannot be separated from the LCD. Performing a screen replacement on an iPhone 4 is not an easy task as it is. These days I can understand why an iPhone owner would resort to repairing their broken iPhone by themselves to try an save money. As a iPhone repair specialist I run into people that have been scammed by this product more then I would like to see. HookUp Cellular has had to put back together what many iPhone owners have attempted to fix themselves.
I have even had mechanics and electrical engineers call me because they bought the digitizer alone thinking they could replace the screen just like they did on the iPhone 3G or 3Gs. This is not the case! If you are to attempt doing this repair yourself please look for the iPhone 4 front assembly. It should include the screen, digitizer, AND LCD. Most likely it will run you anywhere from $60 to $120 with shipping. There repair takes about an hour and a half if you follow the videos carefully. So far I have yet to find a precise and accurate video on youtube of a iPhone 4 screen repair. Most of them give you a general idea of what to expect but I have not seen any iPhone repair videos that are not missing something. With that said I implore you not to attempt the repair yourself.
