Apple's iPhone X is Apple's 11th Gen smartphone released in 2017. iPhone X features a 5.85 inches Super Retina HD AMOLED on the front panel while on the back panel is a glass cover.

However, iPhone X's display is not immune to damages, or do not let me be sarcastic here there's no phone immune to display damages. Display could get damaged when a mobile phone drops several times, drop on a hard surface, drop from a long height, liquid spills and so on. This has made Chinese repair market sales for iPhone X LCD to boom since there are millions of iPhone X out there. Day in day out new iPhone X screens are shipped and are replaced my several mobile shops.
