Chosen Solution
There is a “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice”, a “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer” and “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer Full Assembly”. I understand the difference between the one that doesn’t say Full Assembly and the one that says full assembly, but what does “choice” mean? Is it somehow a premium part?
Here is a cut and paste from the email iFixit sent me on the topic: Screen Pricing and Product Code Update We are changing product codes on our iPhone displays. We recently released an aftermarket line of iPhone displays, which allows us to offer competitively priced parts with the iFixit Lifetime Gaurantee. We still offer a premium, or “Choice”, quality option as well- that isn’t changing. What is changing is the product codes associated with each type of screen. Our aftermarket displays are now listed under the following product codes: iPhone 6 Plus LCD Screen and Digitizer: IF269-001 iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer: IF268-001 iPhone 5s LCD Screen and Digitizer: IF124-001 iPhone 5c LCD Screen and Digitizer: IF126-001 iPhone 5 LCD Screen and Digitizer: IF118-000 Our “Choice” displays are now listed under the following product codes: iPhone 6 Plus LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice: IF269-044 iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice: IF268-053 iPhone 5s/SE LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice: IF124-049 iPhone 5c LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice: IF126-035 iPhone 5 LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice: IF118-054 For a quick reference, you can always check out the Live Price List, which includes pricing for our most popular parts and tools. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the iFixit Pro team so that we can help you out! *edited out contact info since I don’t know if they want that public
The quality of the aftermarket screen (the one I tested is IF268-001) is worse than the original Apple screen. The colors aren’t as vibrant and the screen had a gray-blue cast. The iFixit support person says the “Choice” screens match the Apple quality but I haven’t personally tested to verify the quality of a “Choice” display.
