Have you ever had that mini-heart attack when you phone just fell but didn’t actually break the screen? How would you feel if your phone fell down from the table and broke the screen? How would you react when all of a sudden the battery life of your phone dies out? These scenarios don’t look good at all. I mean if the screen is not broken then there can be internal damage and if broken one would need screen replacement and then there are always battery issues.

There is always going to be a time once in your life that you have to make this decision. Did you know that around 44% of American Smartphone owners automatically replace their phone every two years? This is because of the contract offered by major wireless providers.
Also, it was reported that around 2% Americans the decision is powered by technology; there is a glistening gadget on the horizon, a new marvel that will expand the minds and unfathomably enhance existence. And the majority of smartphone users, 54%, wait until their phones become outdated or break. Today, two forces actually compete for this population. Phone manufacturers develop technological improvements faster and push them in aggressive marketing campaigns in order to encourage replacement, rather than repair. And coming up fast is the cell phone repair industry, which has experienced steady growth for the last 15 years, particularly in the last five years.
A Nielsen study found that of the estimated 70% of adults in the U.S. who own a smartphone, a third will either lose or break their phone at some point. Sadly, the average iPhone sustains damage 2 ½ months after purchase. The most common disasters involve a cracked screen or spilled liquid, with cosmetic and functional damages also common. Too often people assume that a phone is irreparable after an accidental drop or liquid encounter.
But we say you should try on saving a few bucks and helping the environment. People don’t realize that a broken or damaged phone can be repaired at all, and that also often just for under $100. Considering the cost of a new phone, if you want to revive the one that has served you well, it makes sense to investigate a repair. Notwithstanding the allure of a new phone, resuscitating the old one keeps it out of the trash.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that Americans create nearly 2 ½ million tons of e-waste that are trashed. In spring the EPA issued a hopeful statement: phone recycling had increased from 30% to 40% in one year. Recycling recovers copper, silver, gold, and palladium, not only keeping these elements out of landfills, but also giving them continued utility above ground. Before you decide to commit the cash to a new phone, get a free estimate from a licensed repair facility. You can always head out to the best cell phone repair shop and get your phone damage evaluation. However, even if you ultimately decide to invest in a new phone, it might be worth a small investment to keep your old phone out of a landfill…with the added benefit of having a spare in case a statistical tragedy strikes.
