What to do with a cracked iPhone 5?
My friends freaking dropped my iPhone 5.It still works but to be honest I hate having the big spider-web-like cracks on the phone. There's NO Way I'm telling my dad about this, he JUST got it for me and I don't want to disappoint him. I told my mom and she will help but she's not very much help honestly because she dosen't even have a cell phone herself. I have NO insurance for it. Also, I'll replace the screen myself if I HAVE to but are there any other options? (I know nothing about parts and crap so yeah I'd probably screw that up).
I don't think there's another way for your screen to get fix. But however, if you know someone who can help you fix your screen for free, ask him/her. Or, just confess. Just me, lying will only make it worse for you. Tell your dad what exactly happened and maybe he'll take it easy on you.
You can get screen repaired for about £80. And cheaper on stalls and markets. Also there are places you can send it to. Best to get done by a professional. Don't do it yourself. A lot more involved than you think. A lot of cables in there that can't be snapped or moved about.
I cracked my screen last summer and didn't want to get a new phone, so I went to a computer store that specializes in Apple products (not an apple store though) and they replaced it for like $200 and it took around a week. Try seeing if there's a store like that where you live, but don't go to Apple or your phone carrier. Ask around and see if any of your friends know someone who can replace screens, sometimes there are kids who like doing those things.
Buy an otterbox or lifeproof case, you won't regret it!
I Would sell it on USell.com and get money for a broken phone!
Also, i would take that money and buy the same phone that looks similar.
If you have money for yourself like an allowance, you can get it fixed on your local apple store. I too wouldn't want to have a phone with a crack on it or else i would freak out because i too don't have insurance on it as well. Lol.
Tell him
The standard warranty should cover it. Set up an appointment at your nearest Apple Store or ship it in to Apple to have it replaced.
- What should I do? The back panel of my iPhone 4 cracked? Sadly, today I dropped my iPhone 4 (Which I've had for roughly 2 years) and the back cracked. When I got it I bought the Apple Care plan, but I'm pretty sure that's expired now. So, should I buy a repair kit online? It seems fairly simple. Or, should I go to Apple? If so, what should I do then? What do you think they can do for me?
- IPhone 4s back glass cracked Okay, so it randomly just cracked. Like a HUGE crack. I'm really scared to tell my parents. Is it possible to walk into an apple store and have them fix it right there? What should I do? :\ I'm FREAKING OUT. D
- I just cracked my iphone screen Does it require me getting an entire new phone or is there a way just to replace the screen? Help cuz o have a lot of memories on the phone and lots of great pics!
- I have a big problem, i cracked my iphone screen and my home button and didn't fix it until a year later, i didn't fix my iphone for a year,? By this time, i have forgotten my password to unlock my phone, which led to my iphone disabled and linkin it to itunes. Finally remembere my password on itunes connected the usb. And itunes said, do you want to allow access info on iphone? Click continue. Then says please respond to iphone.Tho nothin cause its locked. I don't know what to do, because the photos on my iphone are precious to me and if i could get it factory reset id lose them all. Even tried icloud. With no sucess.
