Note: In this article, “original” refers to a screen manufactured by Apple. It doesn’t necessarily mean the specific screen that was originally fitted to a particular phone, unless stated otherwise.
What is the Ambient Light Sensor?
The ambient light sensor (ALS sensor) detects how bright the surrounding light is. Your iPhone uses the measurement it provides to automatically adjust the screen’s brightness in response to changing light conditions.
Why The ALS Sensor Is a Problem for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X Screen Replacements
Overview
If you’re an Apple fan, you’re probably aware of the announcement- and impending release- of three new phones from the company. These are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR.

The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are scheduled for UK release on the 21st of September 2018, with the iPhone XR coming out the following month on the 26th of October.

Introduction
If you’re an Apple iPhone 8 or 8 Plus owner, you might be aware of the news that iOS 11.3 has stopped copy screens (those designed and manufactured from scratch by third-party companies) from working.
If your Android tablet (including Samsung Galaxy Tab or any other), Apple iPad, or indeed any tablet computer has a broken camera, you need to know where to take it.
The good news is that our tablet repair service can replace your tablet’s camera, and quite possibly at a price a lot lower than you might have expected.
Whether it’s an Apple iPad you own or one of the many Android tablet devices (including the Samsung Galaxy Tab), it’s annoying when your tablet’s case is damaged. Not only is the case important for protecting the insides of your tablet, but its appearance is often also an important part of your tablet’s appeal, especially if you have a high-end tablet like the iPad or Galaxy Tab.
