When does the iPhone 8 Plus need a new back glass?
The iPhone 8 Plus has a glass back – nice to look at, but a fall onto a hard surface quickly causes cracks or splinters. Even when the device is otherwise undamaged, a broken back instantly looks like a defect.
The iPhone 8 Plus was the first 8-series model with the Qi charging standard. If the back glass is damaged, this can affect the transfer. After a glass swap, wireless charging works flawlessly again.
Cracked back glass becomes an injury risk. Splinters can come loose from the frame and cut you when you pick up the phone or slip it into a bag. This should not be left for later.
Deep scratches in the back glass appear from daily use without a protective case. When the surface has become unsightly, a glass swap brings the device back into good visual shape.

How does the iPhone 8 Plus back glass swap work?
- Condition check & damage assessment
We assess the extent of the glass damage and whether other components – such as the wireless charging module – are affected.
- Remove the old back glass
The cracked glass is removed with precision tools. On the iPhone 8 Plus the back glass is bonded – a careful process to avoid damaging the internal components.
- Fit the new back glass
The replacement glass is fitted cleanly and secured. All seals are set correctly – important for the structural integrity of the housing.
- Wireless charging and function test
After installation we explicitly test wireless charging, all buttons and the rear camera – everything must work flawlessly before the device goes back.
No hassle for you – we pick up the iPhone 8 Plus in Vienna and deliver it back after the back glass swap.
Is the back glass swap worth it for the iPhone 8 Plus?
The iPhone 8 Plus still runs reliably in everyday use. If the glass back is the only defect, a swap for 109 € is significantly cheaper than any new device. You keep all data, photos and apps – and wireless charging is fully available to you again afterwards.

Which back glass does Reparo use for the iPhone 8 Plus?
We use tested replacement back glass panels that match the original specification of the iPhone 8 Plus – correct fit, compatible with the wireless charging coil, with cutouts for the camera module and Apple logo area. Every panel is checked before installation. 6 months warranty.
iPhone 8 Plus back glass repair in Vienna – the difference from aluminium
Apple deliberately switched the iPhone 8 Plus from aluminium to glass – to enable wireless charging. That decision brought a more elegant look, but also a higher tendency to break. While the aluminium back of the iPhone 7 Plus usually only dents in a fall, glass cracks – often in a single impact.
That a cracked back glass is not purely cosmetic is shown by its effect on wireless charging: if the back is heavily damaged, it can affect the Qi coil underneath. A clean glass swap restores full functionality.
What happens to the rear camera during the swap?
The camera module of the iPhone 8 Plus is removed under protection during the back glass swap and refitted afterwards. After installation we test the wide angle, portrait mode and optical zoom for flawless operation. The swap is only considered complete once all tests have passed.

How long does the back glass swap take?
Approx. 2–3 hours. The back glass of the iPhone 8 Plus is bonded – this requires more time than a screen swap. Pickup in Vienna: usually same or next day. Send-in: 1–3 working days after arrival.
Does the swap differ from an iPhone 7 Plus back glass?
Yes. The iPhone 7 Plus has an aluminium back, the iPhone 8 Plus a glass back. Both require a complete transfer of the internal components, but the process is specifically different.
Can I drop off the iPhone 8 Plus for the back glass swap?
No, we work without walk-in. Book an appointment, pickup service in Vienna or send it in by post.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work?
You book an appointment online, we come to your address in Vienna at the agreed time, take the iPhone 8 Plus with us and bring it back after the back glass swap.
Can I send the device in from Lower Austria or Styria?
Yes, from anywhere in Austria. Book an appointment, pack the device securely and ship it in. After the swap we send it back. Duration: 1–3 working days after arrival.
Is data lost during the back glass swap?
No. The iPhone's storage remains completely untouched – all photos, apps and settings are identical to before after the swap.
What warranty is there on the new back glass?
6 months on the back glass and the labour. In the event of defects without external influence within this period, we check and fix them free of charge.
What does the diagnostic check cost if I only want it inspected?
Diagnostic check 25 € – fully waived when you place a repair order.
Is the back glass swap still worth it on an iPhone 8 Plus?
If the iPhone 8 Plus otherwise works well, yes. 109 € for a visually and functionally renewed back is cheaper than any new device, and you keep all your data without any effort.
Does the iPhone 8 Plus still have IP67 protection after the back glass swap?
The IP67 certification cannot be officially guaranteed after opening. We set all seals correctly – but active submersion should still be avoided afterwards.
What if, besides the back glass, the screen was also damaged in the fall?
With combined damage to the back glass and screen, we can carry out both repairs in one appointment. Give us a quick call – we will name the total price honestly before the work begins.
What if my iPhone 8 Plus has water damage in addition to the back glass?
Water damage is diagnosed separately (25 €, waived on repair). A cracked back glass significantly increases water sensitivity. Call in advance – we will clarify the scope realistically.
