Yes you’ll likely get a non-Apple screen if the phone is repaired by a non Apple repair shop.

Choices:
  1. Have Apple replace it and pay the price. Screen will look perfect.
  2. Have a 3rd party repair shop replace it with a non Apple screen for less cost and it likely won’t look as nice as the original
  3. Do nothing and use it with the cracks

You'll get a 3rd party display. How will that look, it depends on the quality of display. Iw would suggest just quoting any Apple.

Thank you ! It can be less expensive than 200+ pounds without AC as I saw on website ? It expired 3 months ago :))
