2026 LCD SWAP Registration

How to register:

The Screen Swap Competition will challenge participants to replace a screen assembly on an iPhone 11 in the fastest time possible. Contestants are welcome to bring their own tools and equipment; however, tools and workstations will also be provided by the event organizers for all competitors.

The competition will begin at 10:00 AM on Day 1 and continue until 3:00 PM. During this time, contestants will compete individually, testing both their speed and repair precision.

On Day 2, the iPhone 11 screen swap competition will resume from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, giving participants one final opportunity to secure the best completion times. Once the preliminary rounds conclude at 11:00 AM, the two competitors with the fastest recorded times will advance to the championship round.

The final showdown will take place in the ring at 12:00 PM, where the finalists will compete head-to-head by replacing a screen assembly on a mystery phone. The contestant with the fastest successful repair time in the final round will be crowned the overall winner of the Screen Swap Competition.
