iPhone 5 owners, rejoice: Your broken screen can now be fixed while you wait at an Apple Store. But the repair comes with a price — almost the same price as buying a new iPhone 5.

According to MacRumors. iPhone 5 owners can take a broken phone to any company retail store and walk away with a new display for $149. Formerly, those whose warranty period had passed who didn't have AppleCare+ had only two options: Purchase a new phone, or package and mail the broken one and get it replaced for $229.

Apple has not formally announced the new service; the company did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment. But MacRumors said Apple will also start offering in-house repairs on other iPhone parts next month, like the camera, sleep/wake buttons, and logic boards.

The news comes several weeks after AppleInsider reported that Apple was prepping a major upgrade to AppleCare and AppleCare+. The changes were revealed during a Town Hall for Apple tech staff, and are intended to entice more customers to adopt AppleCare.

An unnamed employee told AppleInsider that Cupertino was considering AppleCare subscription plans, which would apply on a per customer rather than a per gadget basis.
