iPhone 8 Rear Housing Replacement

Compatible models: A1863, A1905, A1906

The iPhone 8 features a glass back housing that enables wireless charging, but this makes it more vulnerable to cracking after drops. We replace the entire rear housing assembly rather than attempting glass-only repairs, which ensures proper structural integrity, restores the IP67 water resistance seal, and maintains wireless charging functionality.

• Turnaround: Same day where possible, subject to stock and workload
• 12-month warranty on the fitted housing
• Walk-in near Liverpool Street Station or use our UK mail-in service

Signs your iPhone 8 housing needs replacing

• Rear glass panel cracked, shattered or missing sections
• Sharp edges making the device uncomfortable or unsafe to hold
• Rear panel lifting or separating from the chassis after a drop
• Concern about moisture or dust ingress following the crack — IP67 rating is compromised by rear glass damage
• Wireless charging behaving intermittently or not working since the damage occurred
• Camera lens cracked or damaged (often happens alongside housing damage)

What is included

• Careful removal of the damaged rear housing assembly
• Transfer of internal components (camera, flash, wireless charging coil) to the new housing
• Fitting of the replacement rear housing with fresh adhesive seals
• Post-repair wireless charging test to confirm charging pad recognition and alignment
• Full function test: power, charging, Lightning connectivity, wireless charging, cameras, speakers
• IP67 sealing verification — the housing replacement restores the water resistance seal
• 12-month warranty on the fitted housing

How to confirm your model

Go to Settings > General > About > Model Number (tap it to reveal the A-number) or check the rear of the device.

This repair covers: A1863, A1905, A1906.

The iPhone 8 uses a Lightning connector for charging. If you have moved to USB-C cables for newer devices, you will still need a Lightning cable for the iPhone 8.
