Just need to look at display replacement prices, with cracked displays being the most frequent damages (aka Spiderman app). Where these used to be around 60-80 EUR for iPhone 6 (third-party replacement parts), for the X and newer it's basically approaching the price of a new device. Samsung phones, or any other modern Android phone, are just as uneconomically to repair. It seems the only thing to stop the trend for extremely expensive throw-away phones is consumer-/eco-friendly legislation.
- bartvk 6y agoThere are more options. Sometimes the vendor offers extended warranty, like AppleCare. Also, some creditcards offer additional insurance, up to two years. And finally if you reall want the ultimate in repairability, there are phones like the FairPhone, or the Librem or the PinePhone.
