Repair parts iPhone 18 Pro
Receive it on wednesday 11 de november
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is the 6.3-inch model in the 2026 Pro range and the first iPhone to place the Face ID infrared camera beneath the display. This change directly affects the replacement screen. Apple also offers eSIM-only versions and versions with a nano-SIM tray, and some internal parts have different part numbers depending on the version, so it is worth checking your model number before choosing.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro: four model numbers and two internal versions
Apple assigns the iPhone 18 Pro four model numbers depending on the market. The version sold in Spain and most of Europe is A3714, with a tray for nano-SIM and eSIM. To check your model number on the phone, go to Settings > General > About and tap the Model Number field: the number starting with A is the one you need.
| Code | Main market | SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| A3472 | United States and Puerto Rico | eSIM only (the only version with 5G mmWave) |
| A3713 | Japan, Canada, Mexico, Guam, US Virgin Islands and Gulf countries | eSIM only |
| A3714 | Spain, rest of Europe and other countries | Nano-SIM + eSIM |
| A3715 | Mainland China | Dual nano-SIM |
This difference is not merely administrative. In its official parts catalogue, Apple distinguishes between the eSIM version and the physical SIM version of the iPhone 18 Pro for the bottom speaker, battery and USB-C connector. Do not confuse it with the iPhone 18 Pro Max (6.9 inches, A3473, A3716, A3717 and A3718) or the iPhone 17 Pro (A3256, A3522, A3523 and A3524), which look similar but use their own parts.
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro hides the Face ID infrared camera beneath the OLED display
The original display is a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with a resolution of 2622 x 1206 pixels at 460 ppi, ProMotion up to 120 Hz, an always-on display and a peak brightness of 3000 nits outdoors. The Dynamic Island is smaller than on the 17 Pro because the Face ID infrared camera has been moved to the top-left corner, beneath the OLED itself. In this area, the display has half the number of pixel rows and a filter that lets infrared light through.
The practical consequence is that the display becomes part of Face ID's optical path. For this reason, a 17 Pro display cannot be used as a replacement, even if the dimensions appear similar. Apple uses the same display part number for all four versions, however, so the same display fits A3472, A3713, A3714 and A3715.
Our catalogue includes the complete screen for iPhone 18 Pro, currently available in Original quality. With an original Apple part, you can carry out the repair using the iOS Repair Assistant to calibrate the display and restore features such as True Tone. Please note that Apple warns of a specific effect on this model: with non-genuine displays, camera and microphone usage indicators may not appear correctly, and the camera may be disabled.
Plastic frame can be fragile when opening the iPhone 18 Pro from the front
Almost all major repairs on the iPhone 18 Pro start by removing the screen, which is bonded to the chassis. The screen assembly includes a white plastic frame that cracked or came loose in three of the four units opened during iFixit's teardown.
A damaged frame can prevent the display from sitting flush and the adhesive from sealing properly, affecting the fit and protection against liquids. If the frame is already broken when you open the phone, the solution is to replace the complete screen assembly rather than reuse the old one. This is also worth bearing in mind when you are only replacing an internal part, such as the speaker or a flex cable.
The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max do not use the same bottom speaker
Apple uses different part numbers for the bottom speaker in each model. The iPhone 18 Pro has two: 923-15846 (eSIM) and 923-15847 (physical SIM). The 18 Pro Max has its own parts, 923-15776 (eSIM) and 923-15775 (physical SIM), with a different shape and mounting.
The available item is the main speaker for iPhone 18 Pro Max, in Original quality and listed for the 6.9-inch model. Before placing your order, check whether your phone is the Pro or Pro Max and whether it is an eSIM-only version or has a nano-SIM tray, as Apple also differentiates between these versions for this part. Comparing the removed part with the new one (shape, connector position and screw holes) helps prevent fitting the wrong part number.
iPhone 18 Pro connectivity: N1 chip with Bluetooth 6 and its flex cable
On the iPhone 18 Pro, Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 7 and Thread rely on Apple's own N1 chip, while the cellular connection is managed by Apple's C2 modem in all versions except the US Pro Max. The original Bluetooth flex cable for iPhone 18 Pro is listed in the catalogue in Original quality.
This part is not listed individually in Apple's official list of replacement parts for the 18 Pro, so visual inspection is the most reliable way to check: compare its length, connectors and mounting holes with the part you remove. As it is designed for the 18 Pro, do not confuse it with the one for the Pro Max or the 17 Pro.
Face ID, original parts and A3714 version: frequently asked questions about the iPhone 18 Pro
Will Face ID still work on the iPhone 18 Pro after replacing the screen?
The Face ID infrared camera works through the display, in an area with fewer pixels and an infrared filter. For this reason, the replacement must be made specifically for the iPhone 18 Pro. With an original Apple display, the iOS Repair Assistant lets you configure the part.
Where can I check whether the phone recognises the new part?
Go to Settings > General > About, then check the Parts and Service History section. Each part is listed as genuine, used, unknown or with the repair still to be completed. If it appears as pending, the iPhone itself offers the option to complete the process.
Can I use an iPhone 17 Pro screen on an iPhone 18 Pro?
No. The 18 Pro places the infrared camera beneath the display and has a smaller Dynamic Island, so the screen is a different part even though both models have a 6.3-inch display.
My iPhone 18 Pro is from Spain: do I need different parts from a phone bought in the United States?
It depends on the component. The Spanish model is A3714, with nano-SIM, while the US model, A3472, is eSIM only. The display is the same for both, but Apple differentiates between eSIM and physical SIM versions for parts such as the bottom speaker and USB-C connector.
