Several Option on What You Can Do When You Break Your Smartphone - iPhone, Android

 

Smashed iPhone can send you raging with anger. Especially because the money used for its purchase was along time saving or bought on credit. Worst if you did not place insurance on your handset. You can’t afford to spend $800 on a new one.  Frustrated by the thought of how will you take those memorable pictures and send via snap chats, upload your Facebook profile pictures?

 

But take a deep breath and know that this can be fixed. You have options. . Here are some of the things you can try if you break your phone.

Try repairing it yourself

Smartphones are held together with screws and pins, which means in many cases, if you’re handy enough, you can easily fix them. In fact, there are entire websites dedicated to helping you repair your own phone.

 

One site in particular, ifixit.com, offers guides for replacing and fixing nearly every part of a wide variety of smartphones, ranging from the very first iPhone all the way to the iPhone 6 Plus.

Bring it to a repair shop

Smartphone repair shops and kiosks are all over the place these days. So why not see if one of these stores can fix your busted handset?

Depending on the damage to your phone, the price for repairs can range anywhere from $29 to more than $250. If you break the screen on your Samsung Galaxy Note 4, for example, you could end up paying $190. If you need to replace the LCD underneath the phone’s screen, it’ll cost you $250.

National chains, including Best Buy, also offer repair services for smartphones.

Take your iPhone to Apple

If you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve got an advantage over your Android-loving brethren: the Apple Store. 

 

If you break your iPhone 6’s or iPhone 6 Plus’s screen and don’t have Apple’s Apple Care service, you can still get it repaired at the Apple Store. Max prices for replacing a broken screen: $109 for an iPhone 6 or $129 for a 6 Plus.
