Zo I look it up and it's about a $300 repair. I look up how to do the repair DIY it does not seem to hard. DIY and some glitches show up (no face ID)
I take off the protective case, Lo and behold I totally forgot I put on a glass screen protector which I THOUGH was crazy expensive at $36 bucks but I got two.
It turns out only the glass after market screen protector broke NOT THE IPHONE SCREEN.
Happy dance. 💃🕺
Replaced the broken screen protector with a replacement and everything is golden..
I'm a happy man..😁
