If you’re anything like my sister you’ve already broken your iPhone’s screen. Thankfully, iFixit has a detailed how-to that shows you hope to remove and replace the iPhone’s front glass without much fuss and muss. All you need is a suction cup and a small screwdriver.

A new glass screen costs about $70 while the LCD costs $99. All of it is easy enough to fix with a little gumption.
