About this product

Repair shops pick between OLED and INCELL panels for iPhone X through 16 Pro Max, and the difference shows immediately. OLED matches the original black levels, brightness and True Tone behavior, but costs more; INCELL sits at the budget end with a visibly lighter black and often a separate home-button style code entry. Before the swap, confirm the exact model generation by the case markings, check whether True Tone retention is supported on the chosen panel, and verify the included flex cables and adhesive match your chassis. Note that brightness and colors may need post-install adjustment in settings.
