Apple has begun conducting iPhone 5c screen replacements in a small number of stores in the United States over the past couple of months, but the January 20th rollout will represent a full-scale launch in all of Apple’s retail regions aside from Hong Kong and Canada.
Broken displays that aren't covered under AppleCare+ will likely cost $149 per device to replace or repair, while displays that are covered under AppleCare+ are likely to cost $79 per device, similar to the pricing structure Apple employs for broken iPhone 5 displays.
In-store replacements/repairs for iPhone 5s displays are still in Apple's plans and are "coming soon", though are not expected to roll out next week alongside iPhone 5c replacements/repairs. The moves are part of Apple's larger shift to lower repair costs.

(View all)According to the media nobody is buying the 5C. Why would they need this?
What media are you looking at?Edit: Unless that was sarcasm I didn't pick up.
So if you bought applecare+ for $99 you still need to pay $79? :confused:
Which means in total you end up paying more with applecare than without. I'm laughing at how apple rips people off and gets away with it.
