For that old of a phone you might want to check out the price of refurbished or look at trade in deals with your carrier. Probably not much more if you are paying $200 just for the screen and you could get a faster phone and newer battery
Just my experience with Verizon, but unless he upgrades to an iPhone 14 (maybe a 13), VZW won't give him much at all for that model. They really push the latest and greatest, at least when they have incentives they can offer (trade-in value). If he wanted a 12, for example, they'd probably offer him $50-75. The fact that it has a broken screen will change that too though.or look at trade in deals with your carrier
Verizon had a promotion a while ago where they offered trade in even if it was broken. Not sure if that is the case now. My wife updated her iPhone 11 that had a bad battery to an IPhone 14 Pro for only about $5 a month. The only catch is you have to stay with Verizon for 24 months because you receive a credit on your bill every month for 24 months. Sometimes the deals are better if you are not with the carrier and you start a new service.Just my experience with Verizon, but unless he upgrades to an iPhone 14 (maybe a 13), VZW won't give him much at all for that model.

If you never done it before, it is very easy to damage the ribbons and their connectors.Greetings-
Broke the screen on my iPhone, even with screen protector- broke at the notch. Its an old 10XR. Generic replacement service wants $90 to replace. Apple wants $200. Amazon diy kits are about $23. Any luck with the kits?
They do make better offers from time to time, so it's often just a matter of luck at catching it when they offer it.Not sure if that is the case now.

The battery health is still 100%. Thats why Im keeping it till the iPhone 15 comes out. Im careful to not to charge it more than 80% at a timeDon't use anything from eBay or Amazon if you DIY. My concern with the independent repair places are what quality of a part or parts are they using ?
How's the battery on that ? You say it's a "10XR" but that's not a thing, it's either a "10" or an "XR" (XR is one year newer, as I recall). If you plan to keep it a couple more years, I'd bite the bullet and pay Apple to replace it. Too bad they don't do the $49 battery replacement anymore 'cause I'd have that done at the same time and that phone will last another 3-4 years if you wanted to keep it.
If that is the case I would definitely be sceptical of the quality of a $23 display.The battery health is still 100%. Thats why Im keeping it till the iPhone 15 comes out. Im careful to not to charge it more than 80% at a time

I liked the samsung phone when i had one- but the bloatware was just too much and the two updates and no more kills it for me. Apple updates almost foreverTime for a new Samsung Android phone.
