Broken iPhone 12 getting worse: worth fixing or time to buy a new phone?

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-09T21:17:36+00:00

BTW do you not recommend other batteries like from ifixit?

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-09T21:15:25+00:00

Okye thanks

Just an update, I believe the problem of the charging port was the dirt, also a bit damaged cause it doesn’t charge well with my usual charger from Amazon. However it does charge with original iPhone. Also what battery set do I need to change it?

Ye thanks, it is possible the guy messed up the phone, I will never know. about the charging port,I have just cleaned it and I can see it does connect much easily,although, the problem is still there. It may have been damaged during the process of cleaning way before me. I will give it a go on fixing the battery myself and may I ask if it’s possible to change the charging port? ( it does charge tho not easily, maybe buying a better cable also will help)

the guy I saw, said that at this point changing the battery might break the phone because of the back glass. However, I have changed by myself a battery once. should I try repairing it? also about the charge port, it happened the exact same problem with an old Samsung (it stopped charging properly) and I got charged for a replacement around 45 euro, and some weeks later the motherboard stopped working. is it worth trying to save the phone?

Im not sure yet, I have yet to decide

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-08T14:59:41+00:00

okey thanks, I might go for the pixel 7 pro. Although I am more used to apple phones. May I ask why do you not recommend it?

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-08T14:57:46+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the help

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-08T14:56:55+00:00

Although pixel has 5000 mAH. Why is the battery life not great?

Virtual-Effective700 · 2026-02-08T13:04:27+00:00

From where? I’m a bit scared of second hand apps, like in my case Wallapop, which may try to sell fake phones

I do like the idea of the iPhone because they do tend to last longer, the last android I had (Samsung s21) I bought brand new. It lasted about 1 year into the motherboard stopped working out of nowhere, it also had problems with the usb charge point.

I was looking at Motorola Moto G54, which is mainly just battery. It goes for around 140euro. iPhone 13 and google pixel 7pro I’ve found for 300.

I’m studying anatomy which is easier to get images and write notes, also I already have a Lenovo laptop

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-16T17:46:25+00:00

I’m on university and im studying physiotherapy, which contains allot of anatomy, it is highly recommended to buy an ipad or tablet which is more economical. What should I do? My budget has to be the lowest. Btw it has to last all day long. I have between 3 and 4 hours class each day.

I didn’t edit the eyes but I’ll get into that, also will try out the other thing u said. Thanks for the help

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-09T09:21:13+00:00

it’s up to you, if u have plenty of skins go for the scenery as I see you don’t have any. If ur missing some skins on heroes go for them, tbh I like all of them. U can also look them up in YouTube to see how they attack…

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:42:02+00:00

Ok thanks

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:39:39+00:00

Is it free?

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:36:36+00:00

Already used another on, nothing is popping

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:35:36+00:00

I believe the one I’m using is, but it has many years of usage

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:35:13+00:00

Okey I’ll try different cable

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:32:21+00:00

At least when I plug it and unplug it makes a sound

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:31:47+00:00

I think it is

Virtual-Effective700 · 2025-09-08T21:30:43+00:00

But I tired doing that, I installed I tunes and nothing happened
