iPhone 13 Back Glass Replacement
Published by TurboFix, Hyderabad · Last updated · 1 sources
Quick answer
The iPhone 13's back glass is bonded to its aluminium housing, so it's replaced either by removing the glass from the housing or by moving everything into a new housing. Check for a swollen battery first if the back has lifted.
The iPhone 13 has a glossy glass back with a aluminium frame. Because its back glass is bonded into the housing, replacing it is more involved than on newer iPhones with removable back glass.
Here's what affects a back glass job on the iPhone 13, what to check, and what to expect.
Advice that applies to every iPhone — data safety, what to check before booking and common causes — is in our iPhone back glass replacement guide; this page focuses on what's specific to the iPhone 13.

What makes the iPhone 13 different for this service?
- Back: glossy glass back; frame: aluminium.
- On the iPhone 13, the back glass is bonded into the aluminium housing rather than fitted as a separate part. Replacing it means either removing the broken glass from the housing or moving all internal parts into a new housing. Both are slower jobs than on models with removable back glass — ask which method your quote uses.
- The iPhone 13 looks a lot like the iPhone 14, but the 14 was redesigned so its back glass comes off separately. On the iPhone 13 the glass is still bonded to the housing, which makes the job more involved.
How does back glass replacement differ across the iPhone 13 series (2021)?
The iPhone 13 series was the last generation where every model has back glass bonded into the housing. A year later the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus switched to removable back glass, which is why the iPhone 13 needs a more involved back job.
What should I check on my iPhone 13 before booking?
- The iPhone 13 went on sale in September 2021, so unless it was bought much later or has extended cover, it's likely outside Apple's one-year limited warranty. You can confirm at checkcoverage.apple.com.
What do we test on your iPhone 13 before handing it back?
These checks are chosen for the iPhone 13's hardware, so features this model has are confirmed working after back glass replacement:
- Face ID set-up and unlock
- Lightning charging with a reference cable
- MagSafe alignment and wireless charging
- Ring/Silent switch

IPhone 13 back glass replacement: frequently asked questions
Can I keep using my iPhone 13 with a cracked back glass?
Usually, yes, but loose shards can cut your fingers, cracks tend to spread, and a broken back no longer keeps dust and moisture out. A case or a clear protective film can hold things together until it's replaced.
How is the iPhone 13 back glass replaced?
On the iPhone 13, the back glass is bonded into the aluminium housing rather than fitted as a separate part. Replacing it means either removing the broken glass from the housing or moving all internal parts into a new housing. Both are slower jobs than on models with removable back glass — ask which method your quote uses.
Will the colour and finish match?
We aim to match your iPhone 13's colour and glossy glass back. Replacement parts can vary slightly in shade or texture between suppliers, so if an exact match matters, ask to see the part before it's fitted.
Is the camera lens glass part of the back?
No. The camera lens covers are separate pieces of glass. If they're cracked too, they're quoted separately — see our iPhone 13 camera service page.
How much does iPhone 13 back glass replacement cost?
The price depends on the method (glass-only or housing swap) and the part grade. We quote after inspection, before any work starts.
Does replacing the back affect water resistance?
Apple rates the iPhone 13 IP68 (up to 6 metres for 30 minutes) when new. After the back has been removed, that rating can't honestly be guaranteed, even with new adhesive. Treat the phone as no longer water resistant.
