iPhone 14 Screen Replacement UK: Incell LCD from £16.98 or Soft OLED from £48.63

iPhone 14 Screen Replacement: Two Very Different Price Points

The iPhone 14 uses a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. Unusually, Supreme Phone Parts stocks two significantly different replacement options: a budget Incell LCD at £16.98 and a Soft OLED at £48.63. Understanding this gap is the most important thing to do before buying.

• Display type: Super Retina XDR OLED
• Size: 6.1 inches
• Resolution: 2532×1170 px at 460 ppi
• Design: Standard notch (not Dynamic Island — that arrived on the 14 Pro)
• Released: September 2022

Replacement Screen Comparison

The Incell LCD at £16.98 restores touch and image output but does not replicate OLED contrast, HDR performance, or the efficiency advantage of OLED (which contributes to battery life). The Soft OLED at £48.63 restores the correct panel technology.

Important Notes on the iPhone 14

No Dynamic Island: The iPhone 14 retains the standard notch. Dynamic Island was introduced exclusively on the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

Same resolution as iPhone 13 but different connectors: The iPhone 14 has 2532×1170 resolution — identical to the iPhone 13 — but connector positions changed. iPhone 13 and 14 screens are not interchangeable.

Improved repairability: The iPhone 14 introduced a back-glass opening design for battery access — screen replacement still follows the standard front-opening procedure.
