iPhone 8 Plus, pre‑laminated (or comes ready) with an OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) layer. It may also include the front bezel/frame.
It’s meant for situations where the outer glass is cracked or damaged, but the underlying display (LCD + touch digitiser) is still functioning.
Compatible with iPhone 8 Plus model numbers such as A1864 / A1897 / A1898 / A1899.
Many parts claim high optical clarity: e.g., one listing indicates a 95%+ light transmittance rate.
Often includes features like oleophobic coating (to reduce fingerprints/smudges) and durable glass with a hardness rating (e.g., “ball‑drop 90 g test” in one listing).
The “with frame” version means the front glass is already affixed to a bezel/frame, making alignment/installation easier.
When your iPhone 8 Plus has cracked front glass, but the display beneath still shows images properly and touch still works.
It’s a cost‑effective option because you’re replacing only the glass+OCA layer (and possibly frame), not the entire display assembly.
