Ouch. 1) Check on Apple India, what you would get as an exchange price for a working XR if you had to buy a new phone. I believe something like 28000. Then compare the repair cost vis-a-vis this exchange price and take a call if you want to upgrade. 2) Check on cashify what is the purchase price for a smashed device. 3) Repair with a FNG version of a mobile repair shop and move on. P.S. Considering you are in Mumbai and if Mahim is closeby , I can recommend an Ex Apple Engineer who has his chop shop for all things Apple and can be relied upon rather than a hole in a wall operator. |

Additionally, you could do the following: 1. Check with Apple how much they would charge to fix this. 2. Assuming they would charge a bomb, get it fixed from a local (but good) shop. BUT, in case the difference between the local shop and Apple is ~ 4K, please please please get it done through Apple. Since its relatively new phone, you need their service support going forward. If you fix it from outside your 4 month old phone will lose warranty immediately. In case you HAVE TO go through a local shop and lose warranty check out GadgetZippy.com. Last time I got my iPad fixed from them. They had decent online reviews. Apparently, they are screen-fix experts and can do it in 4 hours. I did not have a very pleasant customer experience with them so to say; but they did the job and my iPad still works. Last edited by Sheel : 21st October 2020 at 17:34. Reason: lost = lose. | |

Apple India is charging almost 30000 for the replacement screen. A brand new XR is available for 39000 (37500 with discounts). Cashify quoted 3450 for a smashed XR. It would be awesome if you could share the contact of this person in Mahim. It's pretty close for me. Thanks Ritesh and Pancham for your quick responses. | |

Sister's iPhone 6s 16gb for 11.5k ! Yes, was a great deal. Could have got more for my iPhone 6s 64gb but there are spots on my screen + I think I'll keep a spare iPhone just in case. Last edited by PPS : 21st October 2020 at 19:31. | |

For the spots, make sure you check the battery is not bulging. I started abruptly seeing spots and thought the screen is going bad but one day I removed the case and found that the screen glass was elevated and battery was bulging. Immediately got battery changed locally and spots were gone. |

| ![]() Has anyone replaced the battery for the XR? I have a XR which is just about to complete 2 years, and my battery health is down to about 89%. Plus, iOS 14 seems to be draining the battery faster than usual. I have no other problems with my phone, im not a heavy camera user nor do I play games, so the phone basically suffices my requirements, hence do not want to upgrade as of now. Also, I bought my XR for 70k, and selling it for around 20k now wouldnt be a wise decision, so thinking of holding on to it for at least another one year. As per Apple, battery needs to be changed when it comes down to 80% or lower, so im expecting that my phone will be there in the next 4-5 months, so just checking if anyone has already done this. |

| ![]() Hello, As part of the ongoing festive sale, my sister is planning to upgrade her phone (android) to an iPhone. This would be the first iPhone in the family, all are android mobiles so far. Apple showroom is not offering any good deals on the pricing so planning to buy the 128 GB version from Amazon itself. Had a few concerns around the seller Darshita Electronics but the below members have confirmed that it is good so we should be good. Quote:

The deals and offers, as pointed above is varying so would be checking the site periodically to see what is available in 128 GB variant. Currently Amazon is not showing any 128 GB variant. Initially was planning for 11 Pro since it has a FHD resolution and 11 does not but that was too expensive so dropped the idea for now. Cheers, S EDIT: The 128 GB variant is available on Amazon, searched again just now and it showed up in the results. Last edited by sukhoi : 21st October 2020 at 21:57. Reason: Added info about 128 GB variant availability | ||

Incase the Mahim lead doesn't work out, I have a guy in Matunga East who had replaced my iphone screen after a similar accident. Check with the Mahim guy first since he's an ex Apple guy. |

Many who like apple, have learnt it. After all its not a simple drag and drop or Crtl+C - Ctrl+V like androids, one needs to learn it. Quote:

The iPhone 11 Pro starts at a promo price of Rs 79,999 on Flipkart for the 64GB variant. You can get an iPhone 12 Mini (128GB) for Rs 74,900 and an iPhone 12 (128GB) for Rs 84,900 directly from Apple at full price. The entire iPhone 12 lineup has OLED screens and the newer A14 Bionic chip, amongst other improvements. I'd suggest you go for one of them rather than get an iPhone 11 Pro at the current prices if an OLED screen is very important to you. The one thing you will miss out on if you don't go for the Pro model is the telephoto lens. | |
