iPhone 14 Pro Screen Repair: Dynamic Island, Always-On Display & UK Pricing
The iPhone 14 Pro was a landmark device. It introduced the Dynamic Island — Apple's clever rethinking of the notch — along with Always-On Display, a 48MP main camera, and the A16 Bionic chip. Two years on, it remains one of the most popular iPhones in circulation, and cracked screens on this model are something we see multiple times a week at celltech.
This guide covers everything you need to know about getting your iPhone 14 Pro screen repaired: what makes this display special, our Standard and Premium quality options with exact pricing, how we preserve Face ID and the Dynamic Island, and what to expect during the repair process.
Quick answer: iPhone 14 Pro screen repair at celltech costs £109.95 (Standard) or £149.95 (Premium). Walk-in repair takes 20-30 minutes at our Solihull workshop. Face ID is preserved, and every repair comes with a 27-month warranty. Book your repair now.
The iPhone 14 Pro Display: What Makes It Special
The iPhone 14 Pro features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with several technologies that set it apart from both earlier iPhones and the standard iPhone 14. Understanding these helps explain why screen quality matters for this particular model.
Dynamic Island — The First of Its Kind
The iPhone 14 Pro was the first iPhone to feature the Dynamic Island, replacing the notch that had been a fixture since the iPhone X. The Dynamic Island is more than just a design change — it's a pill-shaped cutout that houses the TrueDepth camera system and integrates with iOS to show contextual information like timers, music playback, and navigation directions. During screen repair, the area around the Dynamic Island requires precise alignment to ensure the software animations blend seamlessly with the hardware cutout.
Always-On Display
Apple brought Always-On Display to the iPhone for the first time with the 14 Pro. The screen dims to show the time, widgets, wallpaper, and notifications without fully waking the device. This relies on the LTPO3 (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) backplane technology, which allows the display to drop its refresh rate to just 1Hz. Not all replacement screens support this feature — it's one of the key differences between our Standard and Premium tiers.
ProMotion 120Hz
Like its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro supports adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Scrolling, animations, and general navigation feel noticeably smoother at 120Hz compared to the 60Hz of the standard iPhone 14. For a detailed explanation of how screen technology affects the display experience, see our guide to iPhone screen quality tiers.
iPhone 14 Pro Screen Repair Pricing
We offer two quality tiers, and we're completely transparent about what each includes. No hidden fees, no surprises at the till.
Standard Screen — £109.95
- Panel type: Soft OLED (high-quality aftermarket)
- Resolution: Full 2556 x 1179 at 460 ppi
- Refresh rate: 60Hz (ProMotion not supported)
- Always-On Display: Not supported
- Colour accuracy: Excellent for everyday use
- True Tone: Preserved
- Face ID: Fully preserved
- Warranty: 27 months
The Standard option is a superb choice for anyone who wants a beautiful, sharp OLED display without paying top price. You'll lose the 120Hz smoothness and Always-On Display, but the screen itself looks excellent — deep blacks, vivid colours, and full resolution. Read our InCell vs OLED comparison to understand the technology behind different screen types.
Premium Screen — £149.95
- Panel type: Soft OLED (OEM-grade or refurbished original)
- Resolution: Full 2556 x 1179 at 460 ppi
- Refresh rate: Full 1-120Hz ProMotion
- Always-On Display: Fully supported
- Colour accuracy: Indistinguishable from factory
- Peak brightness: Up to 2000 nits
- True Tone: Preserved
- Face ID: Fully preserved
- Warranty: 27 months
The Premium tier restores every display feature to factory specification. If you use Always-On Display daily, appreciate 120Hz scrolling, or simply want the best possible experience, this is the option for you.
Face ID and the Dynamic Island: What Happens During Repair
The Dynamic Island houses the entire TrueDepth camera system — the same sensors that power Face ID, Animoji, Portrait mode selfies, and the structured-light depth mapping. During a screen replacement, these components must be meticulously transferred from your old display to the new one.
Here's what that involves:
- Dot projector removal — Projects 30,000 invisible infrared dots onto your face. Extremely delicate and position-sensitive.
- Infrared camera transfer — Reads the dot pattern to create a 3D facial map. Must maintain exact alignment.
- Flood illuminator — Provides invisible infrared light for Face ID to work in the dark. Transferred as a unit.
- Proximity sensor — Detects when the phone is held to your ear during calls.
- Ambient light sensor — Required for True Tone and auto-brightness.
Every iPhone 14 Pro screen repair at celltech includes a full Face ID verification test before we return the phone. We also check Dynamic Island animations to ensure the software-hardware integration looks correct.

The Repair Process: Step by Step
Here's exactly what happens when you bring your iPhone 14 Pro to celltech:
- Free diagnostic — We assess the phone for any damage beyond the screen (frame bends, camera lens cracks, water damage indicators) and discuss the repair with you before proceeding.
- Disassembly — The phone is powered off. We remove the pentalobe screws and carefully separate the display from the stainless steel frame using controlled heat and precision suction tools.
- Component migration — The earpiece, sensor array, and TrueDepth camera system are removed from your old screen and fitted to the new display assembly.
- True Tone programming — We transfer the ambient light calibration data to the new screen to maintain True Tone functionality.
- Reassembly — Fresh adhesive gaskets are applied to restore the water and dust seal. The display is seated into the frame and secured.
- Quality testing — We test Face ID, touch input across the full screen, auto-brightness, True Tone, proximity sensor, and haptic feedback.
Total repair time: 20-30 minutes. Your data, apps, photos, and settings remain completely untouched throughout.
Common iPhone 14 Pro Screen Issues We See
Cracked Glass with Working Display
The most common scenario. Ceramic Shield is tough but not indestructible — corner drops and face-down impacts on hard surfaces can crack the glass while the OLED panel underneath continues working fine. A screen replacement resolves this completely.
Green Lines or Bars
A vertical green line appearing on the display is a known issue with some iPhone 14 Pro units. It's caused by OLED panel damage (sometimes from impact, sometimes spontaneous) and requires a screen replacement to fix. Our Premium tier is particularly recommended for this issue, as it uses the same panel technology as the original.
Ghost Touches After a Drop
If your iPhone 14 Pro registers touches you didn't make, or certain areas of the screen don't respond, the digitiser layer is likely damaged. A full screen replacement resolves this. See our touch screen troubleshooting guide for more details.
Display Flickering
Flickering can be caused by OLED damage or a loose connector. We'll diagnose which during our free inspection — sometimes reseating the connector resolves it without a new screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose Always-On Display with the Standard screen?
Yes. The Standard (£109.95) screen runs at 60Hz and does not support Always-On Display. For these features, choose our Premium (£149.95) option.
Is Face ID affected by a screen replacement?
Not when done correctly. We transfer your original Face ID sensors to the new screen and verify they work before returning your phone.
How long does an iPhone 14 Pro screen repair take?
20-30 minutes at our Solihull workshop (126 High St, Solihull, B91 3SX). Walk-ins welcome Monday to Saturday, 9am-5pm.
Can you fix just the glass without replacing the whole screen?
On modern OLED iPhones, the glass and display panel are fused together. A "glass-only" repair requires specialist equipment to separate them, and the results are inconsistent. We replace the full display assembly for a reliable, warranted result.
What if my back glass is also cracked?
We can repair both at the same time. Let us know when you book or walk in, and we'll provide a combined quote. Doing both together saves you a second visit.
Do you keep iPhones in stock for same-day repair?
Yes. We keep both Standard and Premium iPhone 14 Pro screens in stock. Walk in during opening hours and we'll have it done within 30 minutes.
