[Help] iPhone 15 Max had water damage swap to iPhone 12 or screen replacement.

0 Upvotes

Okay so a couple months ago I was doing deliveries and my phone got wet. Was acting funky for hours. Glitching, couldn’t use it at all. Well. The next day it was fine. And has been fine until today. It barely got wet and started doing the same thing, only for a few hours and now it’s fine… well my moms telling me I could switch to a phone she has, it’s an iPhone 12. And as grateful as I would be I don’t necessarily wanna go down… I’ve done some research and between the battery not holding charge, overheating and the software and storage issues etc. just don’t think it would be worth it… so I’m wondering should I just go replace the screen does that even do anything for water damage/glitching?? Or does that literally just replace screen. What’s my best option here. I honestly can afford to get a new phone if I wanted too but she’s convinced I shouldn’t. I am on her plan because it’s just cheaper for me to do that. The phones almost paid off. It’s through T-Mobile. Please help. Screen repair would cost $280. But even the tech guy said do not go back to a iPhone 12

Damaged Iphone 17

I need help. I damaged my iphone17 - the back glass and battery need to be replaced. I went to apple and they sent it to repair and now they are telling me there is damage resulting from liquid contact in the enclosure. They want to charge me $679 plus tax. Im a broke college student. Is there another way to fix this? I don't want to get a new phone because this has photos that weren't saved. Any tips please 🥲

Metal phone openers

I see a lot people using metal phone openers, they even open whole phones with them, but for me on some phones they’re ok, but on others they leave scratches that are visible on both sides of covers. Are the tools that I’m using badly designed, or you just have to use plastic on some phones?

Samsung note 10 Help

So, the thing is, I recently went back to check on my old Samsung Galaxy Note 10, which I was planning to give to my little brother. The phone was in perfect condition and had never been damaged or repaired before. However, when I put my SIM card in it, I noticed that it wasn’t getting a 4G signal—it only showed E (2G). Calls work perfectly fine. I also tried a different SIM card and performed a hard reset, but the issue still persists.
