When your device gets damaged, deciding whether to repair it or replace it can be tough. Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice:
- Cost of Repair vs. Replacement: If the repair costs are more than 50% of the device’s current value, replacing it may be a better option.
- Warranty Coverage: Check if your device is under warranty or covered by AppleCare. Warranty-covered repairs are often more affordable.
- Device Age: If your device is more than 3-5 years old, replacing it might provide better value as newer models offer better features and performance.
- Type of Damage: Minor issues like a cracked screen or battery replacement are typically worth repairing. However, major hardware issues like motherboard damage may justify replacement.
- Data Migration Effort: Consider the effort and cost of transferring data to a new device.
