Breaking my iPhone 17 pro max... Apple wants $379. Any better options?

I'm literally devastated. I have only been using my 17 Pro Max a bit less than a month and I have succeeded in dropping this phone on the sidewalk today. The screen is shattered. I confirmed the out of warranty prices of Apple and a normal iphone screen repair is going to cost me $379 inclusive of tax.

I am seeking a third party solution, although I am terrified of losing True Tone or Face ID troubles due to the components mate-making that Apple does. I continue watching advertisements about devicefixes and they assert to have good parts that would not cause such warnings of non-genuine. And have they tried them to the new 17 series yet? They appear to be far more affordable, yet I would like to ensure that the quality of the OLED screens is the same as the original. Your recommendations would be welcome!
