Chosen Solution

I figured out this is a big question for the repair community, no one yet answered. Is the iPhone X display compatible with the iPhone XS? On paper they look the same. They even have the same number of pins in both connectors. But there is still no confirmation of anyone who has tried it. I hope someone has an answer for this.

Yes i try to iphone x dispay install to iphone Xs working perfect. I this colour resolutions only different

Actually iPhone X and XS’s batteries and screens are compatible with each other. See 3:00 of this iPhone XS Teardown

I can confirm it works fine, Just a difference in the metal clips down either side of the screen frame, So no good for replacement, But handy for data retrieval etc

Just to give my experience, today i grab a X screen as customer told me is a X. I test lcd everything works, i go to close it and it won’t fit due snaps. After verify the iPhone is a XS dam, custumer agree to cut all snaps and glue it. It work flawless so far. So X and XS are compatible the only problem is the metal snaps that won’t fit, cut will always solve but you risk in damage it

No, The connector to the motherboard is slightly different, therefore cannot be plugged in.

They fit almost exactly with each other but the frames of the LCD is different which doesn’t work

I can confirm, it is working perfectly and yes the frame is different so I removed the frame from the old broken XS and fitted it onto the new X screen and now it’s a perfect XS fit.

the Xs screen will turn on and work with the X but it won’t fit in properly and the proxy wont sit flat on the screen.

Just tried it. Won’t work, prox is different, at start, the chip set for LCD and Digi is also different

I’m almost 90% positive that they are same with only difference in frame, like it was on 7 to 8 and 7+ to 8+ screens like it was to 4 and 4s screens i just have no xs to confirm it myself

Is iphone x motherboad can be fitted in iphone xs ? Helpp ….

When have u ever known apple parts to be the same… even on the 4 and 4s they changed the frame, so even if the x and xs has the same screen it will still have a different frame

Not Compatible. Both are different screens.

iPhone X 5.8-inch; 2,436x1,125 pixels iPhone XS 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED; 2,436x1,125 pixels

I have tried it and I don’t know what’s going on but 3 different x logic boards same brand new xs display. Same flashing white apple logo. I’m not experienced, certified or qualified in any way. But I’ve worked on a lot of apple phones. For personal use. A lot. And I can’t even get the device to restore or update. It does into recovery mode just fine. That’s all I know.

No, and even if it will fit, that will make an motherboard issues on a longterm usage

Be careful…I thought mine was ok (not knowing that I was sent the wrong screen until a few days ago when my iphone X CAUGHT ON FIRE as my husband was holding it in his hands. It melted half the phone. We took it apart to try and save the information on the motherboard and thats when I found out that an XS screen was put on my X model.

I put an iPhone X screen on XS its compatible plug wise but it does not allow the frame to work. XS has smaller hinges that clip into the side of the phone and also right top hinge is misaligned by a little. Of course apple would only make those changes : )

hello there, So a customer of mine brought me a iPhone x so he said not realizing its a xs so i ordered x glass by the way i have to replace battery also since its been wash in the washing machine i was abe to fix the charging port since it wasn’t charging after battery replacement… so to answer your question well like i said i ordered x glass and also x battery put them on and charged it and it work unfortunately having a network error and need to be updated but just to be on the safe side i order again a glass for xs just incase …but its working (:

I bought a broken phone was told it’s iPhone X but had trouble getting it to align into frame then noticed the top clips were in slight different locations all plugs same but it’s actually xs the screen works fine too speaker it same location just rage frame clips are different I’m using it with tape on it till I get new xs screen so yes compatible just need tome tape lol

yes it worked for me lol. some guy came with an iPhone x saying it was an iPhone xs and the screen worked lol but the only reason I needed to know that the phone was a X and not a XS was because of the amount of screws on phone speaker.
