Edit: In response to the owner contesting everything I said I'm going to clarify some points.1) Yes the tech expressed how using a hard screen cover allows for one to "bash the screen and mess up the LCD before the glass goes." I've always used a hard protector and never experienced LCD bleaching. I'm well aware the LCD is beneath the glass and wasn't quite sure on the techs logic but assumed it dealt with the protector not dispersing normal force of using the device throughout the display. 2) I'm not claiming the Apple case is great protection only noting that it was in a case with a lip. If I had a hard screen protector on it still might have cracked, I'm not using this as direct evidence. The fact it cracked so easily when falls like that generally don't cause such damage only bolsters the fact this are not OEM screens.3) OEM means that the parts are assembled for the direct device and taken directly from the companies supply line. Using "parts of the same quality" is not OEM. Saying it's assembled in a different factory is directly stating that it is NOT OEM. I'm aware third parties exist and create similar screens with similar tech. There is not doubt there is a wide array of quality between these third party screens. However, calling them OEM is a blatant lie. (If anyone is reading this spend 5 minutes researching to confirm). I'm aware Apple does not manufacture or assemble their parts (in respect to this device at least), but sourcing from a company that assembles similar quality parts in a different factory is still not OEM.4) The most important point of this all: The screens bleached on two separate occasions. the possibility of an OEM screen going out like this is extremely rare. The possibility of two consecutive OEM screens going out like this is even more rare. If there was blatant issues with iPhone 6s screens then of the millions sold, users would be having widespread issues and general notice for replacements would occur.Original Review ------------------Initially seemed like a legitimate shop but after using the “OEM” screen for the iPhone 6s bleaching of the screen occurred (As shown in the picture attached). Luckily they replaced the screen. The tech informed me that using the hard glass ballistic screen protector can cause this issue as you apparently use more force on the screen damaging the LCD display. I didn’t understand this logic but decided to use a soft scratch screen protector instead.Once again bleaching occurred within 3 weeks of use. Clearly the techs explanation that hard screen protectors was wrong. I would go get it replace but unfortunately my phone slid of my couch (~2 feet height). Although in an Apple leather case the screen received a hairline fracture through the middle from the force. Had I opted for a hard screen protector this would not have happened, but unfortunately I listened to the techs advice to prevent screen bleaching (which still occurred).I now can’t get the second defective screen replaced because there’s a hairline crack.Incase you haven’t figured it out yet - they do NOT use OEM screens. It is impossible to acquire Apple OEM units without directly dealing with Apple and their distributors. The shop attempts to incentivize you by showing “Chinese knock offs” to push you toward the “OEM” at a high price. Both are Chinese third party screens. I knew the OEMs were likely not, but still assumed they’d be higher grade third party screens...clearly that is not the case as two screens received LCD bleaching.The fact the glass cracked hairline from a 2 foot fall with case further demonstrates this is not genuine OEM using gorilla glass.TLDR; the shop does NOT sell OEM units. The “OEM” pieces are NOT even of high quality and are clearly the cheapest pieces one can buy from Aliexpress. If you crack your screen and plan on continuing to use your phone - look into other shops or shell out the ~$150 for an Apple repair. They use cheap ~$10 screens from Aliexpress or some other vendor and should be charging 1/3 of the price for the quality of the screens.
