How can I get my mom's old phone?

My mom bought an iPhone 8 plus about two months ago. However, she had to switch carrier companies so she had to buy a new phone because the iPhone 8 wasn't "compatible" with that company. She still has the iPhone 8 but she doesn't use it at all. I currently have the iPhone SE, it works but it's just too small for my hands and I would like something bigger. I tried asking my mom for her "old" phone but she won't give it up. Any tips?

My friend broke my phone. Should they pay?

Recently I asked my friend to take a photo for me and while doing it he dropped my phone and shattered the screen. I have an iPhone X and didn't buy a warranty on my phone because I've never broken a phone before and the warranty for these things are expensive. (I think for the X it's around $200) Now the cost of repairing the phone screen is 299$ with tax. I told my friend and at first he offered to pay half but then finally agreed to pay in full after I bothered him about it. We're both going to be going into college next year and I know my friend and his family doesn't have the kind of money to pay for something like this and I happened to be in a better situation so in the end after he agreed to pay in full I said he only needs to give me 200. He wrote me out a check for it and I noticed it's coming out of his own account and not his parents. I feel really bad about the whole situation and I'm thinking now should I just not cash the check? I already repaired my phone, so I've already spent the 299 to fix it. What are your thoughts? (To be fair to this friend, he has always been very good about money and paying me back for things, this is the first time he hasn't insisted on paying me back in full)

I have jailbroken iPhone 6s running ios 11.1 through electra and you can't buy gridlock?

Since I can't buy anything like themes and tweaks I can only get free stuff or it will say "unable to purchase" so I was hoping there would be an alternative to gridlock. Iblank in not updated for ios 11 so I can't use that and iconoclasm can't lock apps to a grid like I want it to. So if iblank and iconoclasm don't work and it won't let me purchase gridlock 2.0 then I need a different one please leave the name of an alternative tweak and its source if possible thank you

My rich friend is starting to annoy me?

I'm 19 and live with my parents in a middle class neighborhood. I, by no means have it hard, but also don't have it extremely well. Me and my bestie have had a rocky relationship. I consider myself to be a very hardworking person (immediately got a job at 16, saver not a spender, attend college, do things around the house without parents asking me to, etc). I'm a full time college student and also work 35 hrs a week. My friend just has it so easy. Her dad bought her a brand new Ford F-150 (doesn't pay car note or insurance), gets $300 and $600 prom dresses (junior and senior year), brand new MacBook, Everything she wants she gets. They live in the same general area as me but i don't know where her dad gets all this money to buy everything they want. She got a job and complains when she only works 15 hrs a week. Her mom lives in Germany and so does her little sister(12). Now that her sister is in the US visiting, their dad bought her a new iPhone 8+. My best friend Facetime's me upset that her dad did this for her little sister. She claims she's mad because her sister hasn't done anything to deserve the new phone. I tell my bestfriend "well what have you done to deserve everything you get from your dad" and she responds "I get good grades and do things around the house". I laughed in her face and now she's mad at me but I don't even care because I'm just irritated with her flaunting everything she gets in my face and her thinking she's better than me. What would I do?
