An iPhone® is capable of so much for such a small device. Beyond texting and calling, you can read books, answer work emails, play games, and listen to music, just to name a few. However, that means experiencing problems with it can have a major impact on daily life, depending on the extent of the damage. While some issues can be fixed with ease, it's possible you'll need to purchase a newer model. Here's a quick look at whether you should find an iPhone repair professional or buy a replacement.

How Warranty and Coverage Might Apply

Before taking stock of the situation, consider the warranty or warranties you may already have. Your device has a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty that will entitle you to iPhone repairs or even a replacement if it's a manufacturing issue. If you purchased Apple Care® when buying your phone, you have even better coverage, regardless of whether it was a manufacturer defect. 

When iPhone Repair Is the Best Option

The most common iPhone repairs are cracked screens, loose charging ports, broken volume buttons, and short battery life. If these are primarily the problems you've been having, most repair places will be able to help you. 

The exact price will differ from shop to shop, but it's likely to cost you less time and money than getting a new phone and transferring everything from your old one. Those who have relatively minor issues with devices that no longer have warranty coverage often seek out repairs.

When a New iPhone Might Be the Right Choice

If you're experiencing problems other than the above, a replacement may be better. Generally speaking, these include major water damage, severe hardware malfunctioning, or issues where pieces are missing or falling off. In those situations, a repair may require more components, and the overall costs would be more expensive than just trading your phone in for a new one.
