1. Back up your data now. The screen could stop responding to touch at any point, and then backing up becomes much harder.
2. Check the touch and display. Black spots, coloured lines or areas that don't respond mean the display underneath is damaged, not just the glass on top.
3. Cover the crack with clear tape. It stops shards coming loose and slows the crack from spreading.

Why warranty claims go wrong

Warranty claims are decided by paperwork, not by technical skill. Two shops can look at the same returning device and reach opposite conclusions, simply because one of them recorded which part was fitted and what condition the device was in.

A customer who brings back a failed repair reasonably expects it to be fixed. Without a record of the part, the intake condition and what the customer was told, that expectation can't be assessed fairly. The same gap blocks any claim against the supplier, so the cost falls entirely on the shop.

The process itself is short: capture the facts, separate the fault types, decide, then repair or explain. Everything depends on the first step, and that step happens weeks earlier, at intake.

Whenever a new iPhone lineup drops, the most common question we get is: "My current phone still works fine—is it really worth upgrading this year?"

The honest truth: you don’t need to buy a new phone every year. Whether an upgrade makes sense comes down to two factors: the model you currently hold and your everyday pain points. Here is our practical breakdown to help you make an informed decision.

In 1982, a family in the US bought a microwave oven. In 2012, thirty years later, the microwave was still working. In 2017, a young lady purchased an iPhone upgrade and a protective case. Four months later, with a splintered screen from a few bounces on the floor, the same young lady must purchase a new phone.

This anecdote makes a vital point about electronics in this fast-moving technology age: they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

It also raises an important question: what should we do with electronic devices we don’t use anymore?

Let’s dive deeper into the problematic issue of e-waste.

Digitisation is something that sounds easy enough, but in practice it is a lot more than meets the eye. In 2018, most of what we do regarding media and shopping is done online. Because of that, many companies, including ourselves, put a lot of time, effort, and money into making their digital footprint large enough to get noticed.
