Hello all, it’s been some time since I published my blog titled: The truth about the iPhone 4 Glass Replacement! which explains the glass & digitizer assembly that is fused together with the LCD screen, making it a complete “unit” that needs to be replaced when you have a cracked glass.
Now that we have the much anticipated Verizon version of the iPhone 4 released it’s time to give an update on the Verizon Screen Assembly vs. the AT&T Screen Assembly. We have been receiving both here at Mission Repair and are replacing screens daily.
I have seen many different posts and claims about the iPhone 4 versions, and want to clarify one distinct discovery. The screens are the same for both phones. This can be important to know, because some vendors are charging a higher price for the Verizon iPhone 4 Screen Repair. Don’t fall for this “new product” marketing gimmick, there is no premium for the Verizon version of the screen vs. the AT&T version. The fact is that the FRAME on the screen is different, but the screen assembly (which can be removed from the frame) is the same and is interchangeable between the two phones.
The bottom line: While there are many differences between the two phones. . .THE SCREEN ASSEMBLIES (the glass, digitizer, and lcd pack) ARE THE SAME.
Have a great weekend, Ryan

Yes, the frame AROUND the glass and digitizer are different as you point out. But if you pull the glass from the frame you can install a new glass, digitizer and LCD assembly into the appropriate frame, and install it into either phone. You just need to use the AT&T frame for the AT&T phone and the Verizon frame in the Verizon phone.
Thanks for the comment. Ryan
