Jesus Christ. Fuck off loser

I didn’t. I called you a dick because of your attitude.

And you are a dick.

Depends on the repair. Never used to be possible to even get an aftermarket screen, although you can now. I have walked in with a broken screen on a current model phone to be told it can’t be fixed and they would use it as a trade in.

Fortunately, you can now get genuine parts from third parties.

A third party repair of a screen is about $175. Apple is over $250. Last time I had it quoted was a couple of years ago though, so YMMV.

Judgemental much? Stop being a dick. You need to understand that every body has reasons for doing the things they do, and has different experiences.

Up until 2021, I wasn’t allowed an android device for work. I got, and still get, an allowance for bringing my own device.

Obviously, you have never had to have an apple device repaired in Australia.

Never had any success trying to replace an iPhone battery. Tried twice through the alleged Genius Store, and both times with an aftermarket supplier. Failed to have any success. Phones were an 8 and an X. Maybe in other markets, but had no luck in Australia

About every 4-5 years, depending on how the old one is lasting. Typically, it’s battery life that frustrates me enough to go shopping. I have an iPhone 17 now, and this will most likely be my last apple. Prices are beyond justification

Interesting, thank you. I have some research to do. Any idea if you can mitigate this on the client side?

Certain instances and some individual users

Blorp.

It’s the only client I have found that loads all images, regardless of source. When I used voyager, about half of the images didn’t load.
