FYI, you can replace the screen yourself. I’ve replaced the screen and battery on an older iPhone. Bought the parts off Amazon, watched a YouTube video and that’s it. Super tiny screws so it may help if you have a magnifying glass (or one of those magnifying + light units for painting miniatures).
Never thought of doing that myself tbh but I’ll check it out, thanks for the idea. Id be happy if I could get a couple more years out of it because it sure beats these iPhone prices now
The other super useful tool to have is a heat gun. Go grab one from Harbor Freight for like $20 while they are on sale. This allows you to melt the adhesive they use to hold the screen in place
Apple has a self repair program where they send you the tools and parts needed for the repair that you return the tools and broken parts when you’re done.
Haven’t done one myself since I but I’ve read of others success stories with the process. The parts are not as cheap as going third party but if you’re buying your owns tools it might end up cheaper overall.
