Don’t Junk Your Broken iPhone! 4 Better Alternatives

By

For some of us, a broken iPhone is a frustrating inconvenience; for others, it can be a major issue. Whether you just want access to your favorite games and applications or your iPhone is critical for your work, having a functional smartphone is always a priority. While you might feel the urge to recycle or throw your broken iPhone in a drawer, there are better options. Here are a few alternatives. 

Check On Your Warranty Status

The first thing to check when your iPhone breaks is your warranty status. If your iPhone’s warranty is active, repairs for a variety of different kinds of damage or problems are likely to be free. At the very least, repairs are almost certain to be less expensive if your iPhone’s under warranty. For your future iPhone, it’s worth considering getting AppleCare+ or another iPhone insurance program The deductible for repairs is likely to be less than the cost of a new iPhone.

No Warranty? No Problem—Look Into Repair

So, what do you do when your iPhone is broken, or there’s some other issue, and you find out that you don’t have a warranty? That’s often not as big a deal or expense as you may think. Because iPhones tend to be rather valuable pieces of tech, people often assume that repairs will be pricey. The fact is, a qualified Apple repair and refurbishment business staffed with Apple-certified technicians can often provide quick and surprisingly inexpensive repairs. Find the right Apple Premier Partner repair business, and before you can say “Fix my iPhone, please!” you’ll be back in business.

Trade It in for a Newer iPhone Model

A repair and refurbishment business with an Apple-certified staff can also offer a number of benefits beyond repairing your iPhone. For example, the largest of the Apple Premier Partners in North America, Simply Mac, is famous for aggressively-priced trade-in values for iPhones and other Apple devices. Maybe that cracked screen is a sign that it’s time to upgrade to the latest iPhone. Trading your iPhone in for credit is a great way to get a fantastic deal on the new model you’ve had your eye on.

Trade It in for a Different Apple Product

If you already have a replacement iPhone, you could still get something for your broken iPhone. As you know, the Apple ecosystem features a few different platforms, and the experience is even better when you have a Mac, iPad, iPhone, and other devices. When you trade in an iPhone in for credit at an Apple Premier Partner, you can likely apply that credit towards a different Apple product like a Mac or Apple Watch. So, rather than letting your broken iPhone collect dust in a junk drawer, see what kind of credit you can get for it at an Apple Premier Partner retail store.

Apple’s MacBook lineup is known for its resilience. You might have a 2012 MacBook Pro that keeps up with your day-to-day tasks (for the most part).

There are always reasons to move to a newer Apple device, but it makes the most sense when you do it for the right reasons. If you’re looking for a reason (or an excuse) to upgrade, here’s a look at three signs that now is the right time to trade in your current device for a newer generation model.

If you’re rocking a larger machine, scaling down the inches is an option. Maybe your larger MacBook is getting on in years, and you’re looking to upgrade. It’s worth exploring options with a sma...
