Screen Replacement Compatible With Xr Iphone 11

Chosen Solution

My iPhone 11 screen has cracked and I cant find an 11 lcd screen replacement to buy anywhere online to repair myself. After some looking for picture of both the XR and the 11 under the display and the screens itself they look very very similar. Could I possibly buy an XR display and use it on the 11 with it fitting properly?

The display modules look the same, but you can’t install the screen from iPhone XR to iPhone 11 because they have technical incompatibilities.

No. They may look the same but they both have something that prevents you from using a xr screen on a 11

Apple is too smart for this trick :) Iphone 7 and 8 screen was working on one phone, but for example in iphone 7 screen from 8 makes phone warm, and this could cause motherboard issues.

Get this, I saw someone post on fbook marketplace a aftermarket screen replacement for XR OR 11!? Look at the photos… Now, I’m guessing possibly the instructions can be for both and the buyer didn’t realize that but I’m going to look more into this and will report back.

There is a way I saw someone put a 11 screen on an Xr but they used some sort of device to transfer serial numbers from one screen to the other or something like that. But don’t trust me I could be entirely wrong.

https://youtu.be/AIgTrL9xbV0 you cannot interchange 11 & XR or vice versa! See video. connectors are different. Update (01/02/2023) After reaserching and actually trying a swap from 11 to XR I found they do not work. So no compatability.

I connected an XR screen to an iphone 11 and the display works but touch does not.

I have also plugged an iPhone XR screen onto an 11 only to find out that the touch did not work as someone else said. You can trim the excess width from the display plug and then plug in vice versa from the way the XR screen is suppose to plug in and then you realize the connectors are the same but again, as someone else here answered, technically they are different somehow bc you end up with no touch. I’ve never had any issues switching btwn series 7/7plus and 8/8plus screens tho.
