I bought a SMASHED iPhone 12 from a Tradie. Is it worth repairing?
The cost of replacement parts coupled with the time and effort involved in restoring this phone is up for debate. iPhone full frame swaps are notoriously difficult and tedious, but are they getting even more complex?

In addition to your surgical skills, your camera, and mic are grade A. Soo satisfying.

That's great, thanks! I'm always worrying about the audio, thinking it sounds crappy, or music too loud/soft, narration too loud/soft. 😀
@gperme1993 8 місяців тому
I always appreciate how thorough you are with your phone repairs. Crazy what you had to do to get the battery working without the warning notification
@miroslavmilan 7 місяців тому
Speaking of which, I thought the add-on little circuit board only needed to stay on temporarily, in order to fool the iPhone it’s a genuine battery, and possibly to reset the cycle count to zero using the battery programmer. At least that’s what I seem to remember watching other repair videos. Or is that model-dependent too, and Apple cracked down on this yet again, forcing the dongle to stay on? 😢

lol. When they tell you, "I have never installed a passcode on the phone, I'm sure of it". Then 20 minutes later they tell you "But you can try XXXX and see if it works", and it somehow magically works.

The ringer going off sent me into panic mode 😂 been working on call in IT for 5 years now. Scrambled to check my phone before I realized. Nicely done audio trick there. Not sure how you made it sound like it was in the room rather than from headphones. The rest of the repair was great as well, as always with your channel.
@harmonic5107 8 місяців тому
Wow, the struggle you had to go through with the battery is pretty intense. My experience is limited to a galaxy s8 and s10. But I can't say I've ever seen that kind of anti repair BS before.

I think you should have bought a case with the small parts included, and it was unnecessary to replace the battery. This would have saved a lot of time and some money. Making it more worth your time. However I am glad to see the replacement of these parts in the video.

My son has an iPhone 11. It has a lot of micro scratched on the screen and the camera lenses have some nicks around them. The battery health has about 90%. Would it be worth it to have it restored.

How long did it take you? Because you can divide that 175 into the hours spent and see if it’s worth your time. And was there a true profit based on the revenue per hour
