Reply to How long should one continue using a new iPhone until replacing it another new iPhone? by Party-Bet-4003

I think it definitely depends on each person and their usage. I upgrade every 4 years but I know some people who will hold onto phones that are practically begging to be replaced because "it still works". I don't think most people should be upgrading every year though, the improvements are too marginal to be worth the money.

Reply to iPhone 11 Pro - Repair Question by gentlecactusboy

The presence of 3rd party parts won’t prevent you from having a repair done. However, if the 3rd party parts are damaged (ex. fall apart) during repair you’ll be responsible for their full out of warranty repair cost.

Reply to Will the spigen ultra hybrid magfit leave an imprint on the phone? The circular magnet is embossed inside. Anyone care to share their experience please? by devnull-

Been rocking an Ultra Hybrid Mag on my 12 mini for a year now. No imprints so far and the protection is so good I'm no longer afraid to let my phone fall whenever it decides to. The only downside is that the sides have been yellowing fast in the last couple months, but as yours looks to be tinted black this shouldn't be an issue for you.

Reply to comment by Feacrali in I hope this isn’t too common to ask, would I still get that in Settings if I were to replace the display myself even if the replacement is genuine? I mean, is there something about it that Apple and approved technicians do (that others can’t) so that it doesn’t show up? by Feacrali

If you order trough self service repair you have to call apple suport later and have them pair the new part with the phone.

I remember there was a story about someone going through that program. Apple basically shipped them ALL the necessary equipment to make sure everything is programmed correctly.

What if one chooses to do it under the self-service program? I’m assuming that message wouldn’t appear then?
