Below, the repairs are ordered by how many euros each one saves against the Dutch price, and added up until the total covers a return ticket. Read the running total as a ceiling rather than a plan: it takes a stack of broken devices to get near a flight, and the rows that carry the total are laptop displays, not phone screens. The number worth taking from this page is the one at the top of the table, because that is what a single repair is actually worth. | Repair | Da Nang | the Netherlands | You save | Running total | Home price basis | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | MacBook Pro 14 inch M4 display, genuine | €342 | €999 | EUR 657 | EUR 657 | sourced | | MacBook Pro 16 inch M4 display, genuine | €510 | €1099-€1200 | EUR 589 | EUR 1246 | sourced | | MacBook Air 15 inch display, genuine | €251 | €699-€729 | EUR 448 | EUR 1694 | sourced | | MacBook Air 13 inch M2 and M3 display, genuine | €233 | €599-€699 | EUR 366 | EUR 2061 | sourced | | MacBook Air M1 display, genuine | €190 | €549-€599 | EUR 359 | EUR 2420 | sourced | | MacBook Air M1 battery, genuine | €52 | €339 | EUR 287 | EUR 2707 | sourced | | MacBook Air display (M1, M2) | €105 | €379-€429 | EUR 274 | EUR 2980 | sourced | | MacBook Air 13 inch 2020 display, zin | €280 | €549-€599 | EUR 269 | EUR 3250 | sourced | | MacBook Air M2 (A2681) display | €132-€164 | €419 | EUR 255 | EUR 3504 | sourced | | MacBook Pro 13 inch M1 and M2 battery, genuine | €55 | €289 | EUR 234 | EUR 3738 | sourced | | iPhone 14 Pro Max screen, genuine | €263 | €489 | EUR 226 | EUR 3964 | sourced | | MacBook Pro 14 inch M1 battery | €69 | €289 | EUR 220 | EUR 4184 | sourced | ## How solid are these numbers? The Da Nang side of every row is a dated price from a named shop that publishes it, with a link to the page it came from. The Dutch side is Apple's own published repair pricing where the work is Apple's, and the price lists of Dutch independent repair shops and watch specialists for the rest, all cited. A handful of Dutch figures could not be pinned to one published price; they are marked as estimates and never lead an item. The weakness is not the sourcing, it is the comparison: an aftermarket screen and a genuine panel are two different parts, so the site prices them as separate items and the item names say which one a row is for. Parts prices also move faster in this category than anywhere else on the site, so read the observation date on a row before acting on it. Dutch prices on this page: 95 with a published source, 3 stated as estimates. 19 repair shops. Current observations run from 2025 to 2026-09-19. ## Before you go - Aftermarket against genuine is the whole question here. An incell screen is not the panel Apple fits, it is usually a good deal darker in sunlight, and the item name on each row says which part is being priced. - A warranty on a repair abroad is worth exactly what the shop writes down and hands you. No European consumer guarantee stands behind it, and there is no way to claim it once the flight home has left. - A repair means handing over an unlocked device. Back it up first, and assume anything on it can be read. - This table only holds rows that save money. The Netherlands is cheaper for some of the work in this category, and the paragraph at the top of the page names those items; the category page carries them with their prices. - A device still under warranty or covered by AppleCare loses that cover the moment a third party opens it.
