Went on a vacation and my wife's 13 got run over by a truck and my 12 pro back glass shattered by falling on concrete. Now I'm fully ready for new phones. Hopefully one of my kidneys is enough.
Yeah, I hear ya. Both my kids have X’s which are losing support, plus they have a lot of physical damage. Time to upgrade our 13 Pro’s, so the kids can have those ….. depending on just how expensive this is going to be
Me reading on my iPhone X: people seem to have too much money..
FYI you can get the back glass of a 12 repaired by a 3rd party for a reasonable price compared to a whole frame swap at the apple store basically.
Also the 13 board might still work if swapped into another totaled phone, just chuck it up on ebay. Someone will probably buy it as a project.
Shhhhh he wants to spend his money.
I don't know if the 13 board is salvageable. It was in a purse when it was run over, and the button in the purse almost punched through the screen out the back. As for the 12 pro, I'm not looking to replace that. Just changing the case to hide the back. I'll check out about the back replacement. It might at least work for a trade in.
Yeah that’s really unfortunate it’s not fixable…😉😉
I’m rocking a 12 Pro Max that could use a new battery. But because it’s so big I don’t notice the drop in battery capacity/health. Thinking of maybe updating this year or just getting a new battery put in. Waiting to see what they actually announce.
An optical zoom at something like 10x might actually do it.
