When you replace your iPhone screen, you can choose between Genuine Apple (Refurbished OEM) and Standard (Soft OLED, Non-Apple).

Genuine Apple (Refurbished OEM)

• Original Apple Soft OLED panel (refurbished glass, OEM display)

• Brightness: ~1,000 nits (HDR up to 1,200 nits)

• Color Accuracy: Factory-calibrated, Delta-E < 2 (extremely accurate)

• True Tone: Always works (white balance shifts with lighting)

• Bezel Glass Thickness: ~1.5 mm (same as factory)

• Touch Latency: ~7 ms, identical to brand new

• Durability: Same OEM glass hardness & lifespan

Standard (Soft OLED, Non-Apple)

• Non-Apple Soft OLED panel (same OLED technology as Apple)

• Brightness: ~800–900 nits (no HDR)

• Color Accuracy: Slightly boosted saturation, Delta-E ~4–5 (less accurate than OEM)

• True Tone: Often not available (depends on pairing)

• Bezel Glass Thickness: ~1.8–2.0 mm

• Touch Latency: ~8–9 ms

• Durability: usually ~10–20% less durable

• Will show “Unable to Verify Display” message

Which Should You Choose?

• Genuine Apple (Refurb OEM): Best if you want factory-level brightness, color accuracy, and True Tone with no compromises.

• Standard (Soft OLED): Best if you want the same OLED technology Apple uses, but at a lower cost, with small trade-offs like lower brightness and no guaranteed True Tone.
