5 reasons to choose professional screen polishing over replacement
The smart choice that saves money and time - only from onoff.gr
Your iPhone screen has those tiny scratches that bug you every single day. First thought? "I need a new screen!" But hold on. There's something you might not know about. At onoff.gr, we polish out scratches instead of replacing the entire screen. Screen polishing isn't just a "budget fix" — it's the smartest choice you can make for your phone. Why? Because it saves your original screen, your money, and your time. Here are 5 concrete reasons why professional screen polishing beats replacement every time.

The 5 key reasons
Savings that make a real difference
When you see the cost of a new screen, it's a shock. Especially for newer iPhone models — we're talking $350 or more. Screen polishing? Costs so little you'll wonder why you didn't think of it sooner.
Example: iPhone 14 Pro Max - Screen replacement: €350 | Polishing: €67.50
Savings: €282.50 (more than 80%!)
Speed that impresses
Who has time to wait a week without their phone? Screen polishing at onoff.gr takes just hours. Drop off your phone in the morning, pick it up the next afternoon looking brand new. No waiting for parts, no international shipping delays.
Timeline:
- Device drop-off: Morning
- Diagnostic check: 30 minutes
- Polishing process: 2-4 hours
- Pickup: Next day
Keep your original Apple screen
Here's what most people don't think about. The screen Apple put in your phone is unique. Specific specs, special coating, perfect color accuracy. When you replace it, even with "high-quality" aftermarket screens, you lose that authenticity.
✓ Original Apple Screen
- • True Tone technology
- • Fingerprint-resistant coating
- • Special scratch-resistant layer
- • Perfect color accuracy
✗ Aftermarket Screen
- • May not support True Tone
- • Different touch quality
- • Potential color issues
- • Lower durability
Preserve your warranties
Here's where it gets interesting. Most people don't know that screen replacement (unless done by Apple authorized service) can affect their warranty. Screen polishing? Doesn't touch any components, doesn't change anything in the device structure.
Warning!
Even replacement by non-authorized service centers can affect future software updates and AppleCare services.
Environmentally responsible
While replacement creates electronic waste, polishing refreshes your existing screen. We don't throw a perfectly functional screen in the trash to install a new one. No raw materials for new manufacturing. We simply refresh what you already have.
Zero Waste
No old screens discarded
Fewer Materials
No new raw materials needed
Smaller Carbon Footprint
Less shipping, less packaging

Frequently asked questions
Can all scratches be removed?
We can remove light to medium scratches. Very deep scratches that reach the LCD cannot be fixed with polishing.
Does the screen lose anything from polishing?
Polishing removes a microscopic layer of glass (0.01-0.02mm) which is negligible for screen functionality.
Do you provide warranty for polishing?
Yes, we provide a 6-month warranty for polishing results against production defects.
