Typical back glass damage on the iPhone XR
The iPhone XR has a glass back despite its aluminium frame. A fall onto tiles or asphalt is enough – the glass shatters even when the aluminium frame stays untouched.
Cracks or chips in the back glass can affect the Qi charging coil underneath. If your iPhone XR no longer responds on the charging pad, the damaged back glass is often the cause.
With heavier breaks, individual glass shards fall out – that not only looks bad, it is also an injury risk when gripping the device.
The iPhone XR has IP67 protection – but only with intact sealing. Through cracks in the back glass, moisture can reach the interior and damage the electronics.
Deep scratches or chipped spots in the glass – the iPhone XR looks worn and its resale value drops. A fresh back glass gives the device a new appearance.
The single camera lens of the iPhone XR sits in the back glass. When the back breaks, the camera ring can also come loose – we check this automatically during the back glass replacement.
You can find all iPhone XR repairs on the model overview.
How does the iPhone XR back glass replacement work?
- Assess the damage
We check whether only the back glass is affected or whether components underneath – Qi coil, camera lens, flash – are damaged as well.
- Remove the old back glass
The broken glass is released from the aluminium frame. On the iPhone XR this is a precise process due to the adhesive, requiring controlled heat.
- Fit the new glass back
The matching back glass is fitted, colour-matched to the original finish of your iPhone XR. The adhesive is applied cleanly and cured.
- Test Qi charging and sealing
Wireless charging, camera function and the precise fit of the new back glass are checked. Only then is the repair complete.
We pick up your iPhone XR at your place in Vienna – simply book an appointment and choose a time slot. From anywhere in Austria, sending it in by post is also possible.
Is the iPhone XR back glass replacement still worth it?
The iPhone XR launched in 2018 and, with its 6.1 inch LCD display, Face ID and wireless charging, still offers a well-rounded overall package for everyday use. A new back glass for 69 € restores the looks and protects the electronics from moisture. A new iPhone 16 costs at least 899 €.
- 69 € – fixed price
- All data and apps stay intact
- Wireless charging functional again
- 6 months warranty on glass and fitting
- Done in 2–3 hours
- From 899 € (iPhone 16, new)
- Transfer data and set up again
- Apps and logins from scratch
- Dispose of or sell the old iPhone XR
69 € for a new back glass vs. 899 € for a new iPhone – for a pure back glass damage, the repair is clearly the more economical choice.
Which back glass does Reparo use for the iPhone XR?
We use precise-fit glass backs for the iPhone XR that match the original in thickness and fit. The glass is available in the common iPhone XR colours – black, white, blue, yellow, coral and red. The Qi charging function is fully tested after fitting. 6 months warranty on the glass and the fitting.
iPhone XR glass back replacement in Vienna – aluminium meets glass
The iPhone XR was Apple's most affordable model with a glass back for wireless charging in 2018. The aluminium frame makes it tougher against lateral impacts than the stainless steel models – but the glass back breaks just the same on a flat impact. The good news: unlike the iPhone X, the back glass adhesive on the XR is a little easier to release, which speeds up the repair.
For 69 € the iPhone XR looks like new again and the Qi charging function is restored. At the same time, an intact back glass protects the internal components from dust and moisture – a factor for the device's longevity that should not be underestimated.
Why the back glass breaks across so many iPhone XR colours
The iPhone XR was the first iPhone in six colours. The glass tinting does not affect breaking strength – all colours use the same Gorilla Glass. The colour does matter for the replacement, though: we make sure the new back glass matches the frame and the front. You can find more iPhone repairs in Vienna on the brand overview.
Frequently asked questions about iPhone XR back glass repair
What does the iPhone XR back glass replacement cost at Reparo?
69 € fixed price. Included: glass back, fitting, Qi charging test and 6 months warranty. The diagnostic check costs 25 € and is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
What is included in the iPhone XR back glass replacement?
A precise-fit glass back in your iPhone XR colour, professional fitting with new adhesive, a wireless charging test and 6 months warranty. No hidden costs.
How long does the iPhone XR back glass replacement take?
Approx. 2–3 hours. With the pickup service in Vienna you get the device back the same day or the next day at the latest. Sending it in from other regions: 1–3 working days.
Does wireless charging work again after the iPhone XR back glass replacement?
Yes. We test wireless charging after fitting the new back glass. If the Qi coil under the glass is intact, wireless charging works as usual afterwards. If the coil is damaged, we let you know before starting the repair.
Do I get the back glass in my original iPhone XR colour?
Yes. The iPhone XR comes in black, white, blue, yellow, coral and red – we keep all common colours in stock. Just tell us at booking which colour your iPhone XR is.
Is the iPhone XR back glass made of glass or plastic?
Glass – the iPhone XR uses a glass back to enable wireless charging. The aluminium frame protects the edges, but the glass surface on the back is just as prone to breaking in a drop as on any other glass iPhone.
Can I hand in my iPhone XR in person for the repair?
No – Reparo works without a walk-in option. You book an appointment, we pick up the iPhone XR in Vienna or you send it in by post. That way the right back glass in your colour is prepared when the device arrives with us.
How does the pickup service for the iPhone XR back glass replacement in Vienna work?
Book the appointment online, choose a time slot. Our courier comes at the agreed time, picks up the iPhone XR and, after the back glass replacement, brings it back ready to your door.
Can I also send my iPhone XR in from Tyrol or Carinthia?
Yes, from any region. Book an appointment, pack the device securely and send it to us by post. Repair 1–3 working days after arrival, then return shipping.
Is any data lost during the iPhone XR back glass replacement?
No. During the back glass replacement only the glass back is changed – the internal storage and all data remain completely untouched. Still, we recommend a backup before every repair.
Is there a warranty on the new iPhone XR back glass?
Yes. 6 months warranty on the glass and the fitting. Should the back glass come loose without external impact or show defects within that time, we take care of it free of charge.
Can water get into the iPhone XR through the broken back glass?
Yes. The iPhone XR has IP67 protection, but it only applies with intact sealing. Cracks in the back glass break the seal – moisture, dust and sweat can reach the interior. The sooner the glass is replaced, the better.
Do I lose the Apple warranty through the back glass replacement?
The iPhone XR has been on the market since 2018 – the Apple warranty has long expired on all devices. Our 6 months warranty applies independently.
Replace the back glass or buy a new iPhone – what is worth it for the iPhone XR?
For a pure back glass damage: clearly the repair. 69 € for a new back glass vs. 899 € for a new iPhone 16. As long as the device otherwise works flawlessly, the back glass replacement is the more economically sensible option.
What does it cost if the iPhone XR back glass and display are broken at the same time?
Screen from 79 € plus back glass 69 € – together from 148 €. We can handle both repairs in one go. The diagnostic check (25 €) is waived when you place a repair order. Give us a quick call for an overall estimate.
