iPhone 11 Screen Replacement UK: Best LCD Parts, Costs & DIY Guide

The iPhone 11 Screen: What You Need to Know Before You Replace It

The iPhone 11 uses a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD IPS LCD panel — one of the last iPhones Apple built with LCD rather than OLED technology. This matters when choosing a replacement: unlike the Pro models, the iPhone 11's original display is LCD, which means an Incell LCD replacement is a like-for-like technology match, not a budget compromise.

• Display type: Liquid Retina IPS LCD
• Size: 6.1 inches
• Resolution: 1792×828 px at 326 ppi
• Features: True Tone, Wide Colour (P3), 625 nits brightness
• Face ID: Yes (module stays with phone — not in the screen assembly)

Which Replacement Screen Should You Buy?

Because the original panel is LCD, an Incell LCD replacement matches the source technology — you are not downgrading from OLED, because there was no OLED to begin with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the iPhone 11 have an LCD or OLED display?

The iPhone 11 uses a Liquid Retina HD IPS LCD display, not OLED. The Pro and Pro Max variants use OLED, but the standard iPhone 11 uses LCD — making Incell LCD replacements a like-for-like technology match.

Will an Incell LCD replacement look the same as the original screen?

Very closely. Because the original is also LCD, an Incell replacement matches the source technology. Minor True Tone calibration differences may appear in direct comparison but are unnoticeable in everyday use.

Does replacing the iPhone 11 screen affect Face ID?

No, provided you do not disturb the TrueDepth camera module. Face ID is linked to the TrueDepth sensor, not the display panel itself.

How long does an iPhone 11 screen replacement take?

An experienced repairer: 20–30 minutes. A careful first-timer: 45–75 minutes.

What screws does the iPhone 11 use?

Two pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom, and Y000 tri-point screws securing the display connector shield.
