  • The motherboard for iPhone 5 with 16 gigabytes starts from 13 thousand and ends 18 thousand rubles.
  • For the fifth iPhone with 32 gigabytes of ROM - from 16 to 20 thousand.
  • For more modern model– 5S, but with a minimum amount of ROM, the motherboard costs 20-22 thousand rubles.
  • 5S with 32 gigabytes – 20-24 thousand.

It should be noted that the prices indicated in the list are applicable for motherboards of phones that are certified in the Russian Federation. Some companies order components from abroad, and they do not always have the required certificate. They are usually cheaper, but problems can arise with them. For example, after replacing the board, the device may stop working with SIM cards Russian operators. An unlocking will be required, and this will cost additional money.

The second thing the cost depends on is greed of component suppliers and sellers. Some may set an inflated price tag for products, especially if they do not have serious competitors.

Cost of a used motherboard for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
