iPhone 15 Pro Max Screen Replacement: A High-Spec Phone at a Low Repair Cost
The iPhone 15 Pro Max carries Apple's most advanced 2023 display — 6.7 inches, ProMotion at 120Hz, Always-On, Dynamic Island — and a periscope tetraprism telephoto camera. An HD Incell LCD replacement at £20.01 is the most affordable route back to a functional screen.

Replacement Screen
| Type | Technology | ProMotion | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD Incell LCD | IPS LCD | No (60Hz) | £20.01 |
Honest assessment: The iPhone 15 Pro Max originally has one of the finest OLED ProMotion displays Apple has produced. The HD Incell LCD at £20.01 restores a functional display with full touch response, but does not replicate OLED contrast, ProMotion fluidity, or Always-On capability. For a cracked phone used mainly for calls and apps — Incell is a pragmatic choice. For a professional photography tool — factor the full OLED repair cost.

Repair Notes
Titanium chassis: Use plastic pry tools only — no metal on the frame edge. The 6.7-inch perimeter benefits from heat before opening.
Periscope camera: The tetraprism telephoto system is in the rear chassis, entirely separate from the display. Screen replacement does not interact with it.
Not the same as 14 Pro Max: Both are 6.7 inches but different connector geometry and titanium frame. Not interchangeable.

Apple's periscope telephoto system enabling 5× optical zoom. It is part of the rear camera chassis, entirely separate from the display. Screen replacement does not affect it.
