    iPhone 8/Plus Anyone know the cost of repair for iPhone 8 (glass back) cost WITHOUT Applecare?

    I can't seem to find an answer for repair cost for the iPhone 8's back glass? I chipped it the other day. Trying to see if it's cheaper to get AppleCare ($129) and fix the back ($99), or just do a one time repair. All google shows is iPhone X, and AppleCare related screen repair costs.
