My 14yo boy accidentally dropped his phone and broke the screen. He was clearly upset and devastated. He needed his phone for school, keeping in touch with his parents as we are apart most of the time. Wife immediately on Amazon looking for a new phone.
I was like, hold your horses, woman - leave it to me!
Ordered a new screen digitiser for £16 and replaced the screen with the help of a YouTube tutorial. It was as fiddly as fuck but I did it for the first time and I’m proud of it. Now he has a working phone again.
It’s not about being able to afford a new phone - it’s about exhausting all your money-saving options (which there are always many) before committing to a new purchase.
