CrackMacMacBook Pro screen replacement: cost for every model in 2026
A MacBook Pro screen replacement costs $99 with AppleCare+. Without it, Apple's genuine display costs $527 to $879 in 2026, depending on the size and whether it has nano-texture glass, and an in-store repair adds labour. The screen is a whole assembly with the lid and hinges, which is why even a small crack costs this much.

Apple's price by model
Apple's own prices for the genuine display, from its Self Service Repair store, checked 13 October 2026. If you repair it yourself, Apple credits you for sending the old display back. An Apple Store repair uses the same part plus labour.
| Model | Genuine display | Credit for the old part | DIY after credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1 2020 and M2 2022 | $527 | $88 | $439 |
| MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2021 to 2026 | $659 | $88 | $571 |
| MacBook Pro 14-inch with nano-texture glass, M4 and M5 | $791 | $220 | $571 |
| MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021 to 2026 | $747 | $88 | $659 |
| MacBook Pro 16-inch with nano-texture glass, M4 and M5 | $879 | $220 | $659 |

Intel MacBook Pro, 2016 to 2020
Apple doesn't sell displays for Intel models through Self Service Repair, and Apple Store quotes for them are often close to what the Mac is worth. On 2016 and 2017 models, a screen that flickers or goes dark with the lid angle is often the display cable rather than the panel, and some independent shops replace only the cable. Here's how to tell.
Your options
| Route | Cost | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Apple with AppleCare+ | $99 | Genuine display, flat fee for accidental damage |
| Apple without AppleCare+ | The part above plus labour | Ask for a quote first. It's free. |
| Independent shop | Usually below Apple | Ask whether the panel is genuine and whether True Tone keeps working |
| Self Service Repair | The part, minus the credit, plus tool kit rental | Demanding. Step by step. |
| Used or aftermarket part | Often much less | Where to buy one |
Is it worth it?
- Usually worth it: a 14 or 16-inch model from 2021 onward, your main computer, or anything with AppleCare+.
- Think twice: a 13-inch M1 or M2, where the repair can be half of what the Mac sells for. Compare with selling it as it is.
- Maybe not needed: damage along one edge with the rest of the picture fine.
If the damage runs along one edge, CrackMac can keep windows, menus and the pointer off it. There's a free 30-minute trial.
How long it takes
Apple usually needs five to seven business days, because most MacBook display repairs go to a repair centre. Back up with Time Machine before you hand it over. Prices for every MacBook, Air included, are in screen replacement cost.
Quick answers
How much does it cost to replace a MacBook Pro screen?
With AppleCare+, $99. Without it, Apple's genuine display alone costs $527 to $879 depending on the model, and Apple adds labour for an in-store repair. Independent shops are usually cheaper.
Is it worth replacing a MacBook Pro screen?
On a 14 or 16-inch model from 2021 onward, usually yes, because the Mac is worth far more than the repair. On a 2016 to 2020 Intel model, the repair often costs more than the Mac is worth.
Can I replace a MacBook Pro screen myself?
On Apple silicon models, yes. Apple's Self Service Repair store sells the genuine display with its manual and rents the tool kit. You get a credit when you send the old display back. It's a demanding repair.
Is the damage only along one edge?
Before you spend $527 on a MacBook Pro display, try CrackMac. It paints the damaged strip black and keeps windows, the menu bar and the pointer on the rest of the screen.
