Chosen Solution

I recently shattered my iPhone 6 screen and it’s no longer working, and I’m extremely interested in the 6s but don’t want to drop $900 for a new phone when mine just needs a new screen. So, my question is I can purchase an iPhone 6s screen and install it to a iPhone 6, and would it work? I’m extremely curious to if this is possible and willing to try.

This is not possible for a couple of reasons. The FPC connectors are not going to be the same. Throughout the history of the iphone no two models have had the same FPC connectors. If you look at iPhone 3 vs 3gs the connections weren’t the same. Then with the iPhone 5/5C/5S, none of those were the same either. Now, I have not seem a screen for the 6S yet but I am confident that the connections between the 6 and 6S are going to have at least a minuscule difference, if not being profoundly different all together.

Even if the connections were EXACTLY the same it is very doubtful that the LCD would work due to programming differences on the logic boards of the iPhone 6 and 6S. Not to mention the difference in hardware (e.g. touchforce 3d Screen on the iphone 6). Not only do you have mechanical differences between the two pieces of hardware, there are also dimensional differences that would make seating the thicker iPhone 6s LCD into the housing of an iPhone 6 an impossibility.

Hope my answer helps.

Well, funny story. Because people keep asking if they can put an i6 screen on their i6S. The general consensus is no. However your question is kind of the opposite. So you want to use the i6S screen? Which near as I can tell, doesn’t have readily available parts. But, if it did. They did use some i6S parts, a digitizer/lcd, on an i6. And it didn’t exactly work, from the pictures. This was pre-release. All that was shown, was the screen lit up, with a gear logo on it. So, would it work? Maybe. Would it do what you want? Not sure, if you could just get an i6 lcd/digitizer anyways?

As a phone tech I could honestly say this will not work because of the logic boards connection between the screens, they look the same but they physically have different puzzle connections so even if it seems like it would work it wouldn’t because the screens connection won’t line up with the logic boards connections, and the 3D Touch feature on the 6S series is the main reason it wouldn’t work.

You should be able to find an iPhone 6 screen for sale more easily than a 6s screen. If you already have a 6s screen, I’d recommend selling it on eBay etc. and using the money from that to buy a 6 screen.

Actually i just installed a iphone 6s screen on my 6 and it does in fact work perfectly. Practical will always beat theory.

Im about to do it you better be right i dont want to spend $700 on a new one

Would iPhone 6 screen work in iPhone 6S? I have a broken iPhone6 screen but only iPhone 6 replacement screens. Should I try?

Hi everyone. I have not in theory tried but couldn’t do it too easy. The heat ended up the phone and it crashed, not a good buy to lead into this idea. Maybe try another month again.

I just pulled open a 6 and a 6s hoping to swap the screens. The screen is shattered on the 6 and the 6s was having gps issues. I was hoping to get one working phone out of it. As stated above, the 6s has 4 cables connecting it to the phone board and the 6 only has 3. I don’t see any way people got that to work! Of course, I just assumed they were the same when I started and didn’t see this thread until after I had opened up both phones.

Can i put my iPhone 6 screen on my iPhone 6s

No impossible guys. IPHONE6 & IPHONE6S both use different Connection on the mainboard.
