How To Decide Whether To Repair Or Replace Your Phone
Are you finding it difficult to decide on whether to repair or replace your faulty smartphone? Don’t worry, I am going to help you decide on whether to repair or replace your faulty smartphone.

One of the several intra-personal conflicts we have is the decision to repair or replace our mobile phones. Although people don’t see it as such, it is very serious and can even stress you up.

There are some minor damages that even a young child knows that this one needs repair not replacement. Sometimes also, there are some serious damages that the obvious solution is by replacing it.

Sometimes, the signs and factors are not too clear for you to decide on whether to repair or replace your phone. This is where I am going to help you decide on which one to go for.

Should I Repair Or Replace My Faulty Smartphone?

There are some three (3) main questions you need to ask yourself before you decide on taking any decision.

What is the problem with my smartphone?

This is one of the most important questions you need to ask yourself. What is the problem with your smartphone; is it your speaker, battery, etc.

First of all, you need to personally check to see if there’s any fault, if you can’t you can then send it to a trusted repair service to check it out for you.

What is the cost of repair against the cost of replacement?

Just as the name suggests, you need to get a quote from both the repair service (Smartfix) and the shop you will like to buy the new phone from.

If the replacement will cost just a little above the repair, I suggest you go for that one. Also, if the repair costs much lesser than the replacement, then I suggest you go for the repair.

How long does my phone have a warranty?

For every new smartphone you buy, there’s a warranty in the box. Some last two (2) years and some last more or less than that.

If you have a fault with your smartphone, you can check your warranty to see if it is still valid. If it is you can send it to them for either a free repair or a discounted repair. If you are lucky, you could even get a brand new phone.

How To Decide Whether To Repair Your Phone

Some features show that you need to repair your phone. Below are some of the main factors:
- You just want the latest model for no reason.
- You ran out of storage (this depends on how you use your storage and what you use it for).
- Just a little screen crack.
- You just don’t know how to use your phone.
You can clearly see that all the points raised above are just minor issues that could be resolved by repairing your faulty smartphone.

How To Decide Whether To Replace Your Phone

These are some of the features that show that you need to replace your phone.
- The damage to your phone is beyond repair.
- You need an upgrade for an important reason.
- You definitely don’t know how to use the phone.
- Your battery cannot be replaced with an original one.
- You have repaired your phone more than 3 times since you bought it.
Also, you can clearly see that these signs show that you need to replace your smartphone.

In conclusion, I want you to sit down and analyze these reasons and decide if it will favour you in the long term, not the short term.

Monitor your heart rate

The Apple Watch comes along with an already existing Heart Rate app which can be used to measure your heart rate.

The timer detects when you are washing your hands under running water and then gives you the timer. You can simply go to Settings and turn Handwashing Timer on.

3 Ways Of Preventing Your Phone’s Screen From Scratching

Do you know that there are some easy ways you can save yourself the stress of buying new screens for your iPhone each time?

Well, if you didn’t know, that’s not a big deal because I am going to show you 3 effective tips to prevent your iPhone screen from getting scratched. Thus, saving you the cost of buying new screen replacements each time.

Mobile screens are very fragile and because of that they usually break easily and once they are not taken care of carefully, easily you can visit the phone repair shop very often.

3 Ways Of Preventing Your Phone’s Screen From Scratching

1. Use screen protectors

As you might already aware, screen protectors are one of the most effective ways of preventing your iPhone’s screen from getting scratched. Mostly, people do not feel the need to just spend something small to buy screen protectors for their phones.

Screen protectors are protective coverings that take the scratch that was supposed to be on the original iPhone screen, thus keeping the screen safe from scratches. Also, they come at very cheap and affordable prices.

2. Use liquid armour

Liquid armours are also similar to screen protectors. But, unlike screen protectors, screen armours are sprayed on the screen and allowed for some time before cleaning it off. The recommended time to allow the solution to dry is 24 hours.

The advantage that liquid armours have over the screen protectors are the fact that screen protectors usually leave bubbles under the screen making it not that comfortable when using it.

Liquid armours protect your iPhone’s screen from scratches and makes the screen neat after several fingerprints on it.

3. Practice personal safety measures

Finally, the best way to keep your iPhone’s screen safe from scratches is by practicing personal safety. This simply means that you should watch how you handle your phone and where you put them.

You need to keep your phone away from coins and other sharp materials that can easily scratch the screen of the phone. Also, when you handle your phone, make sure to have a firm grip on it when you are in a busy place.

For example, when you are in the market someone could easily hit you for your iPhone to fall. Thus, firm grips become very important.

Conclusion

All these tips given below are not 100% effective, but if you practice them, you will be on the safer side. Because, as the saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How to Change The Default Web Browser on iPhone & iPad
Are you tired of using Safari over and over again as your default web browser on your iPhone or iPad? Then, I am going to show you exactly how to change the default web browser on iPhone & iPad from Safari to Chrome, Mozilla, or vice versa.

For a long time, Safari has been the default web browser on iPhones and iPads. Although you could download other web browsers from the App Store, it wasn’t possible to make them your default browser.

This meant that, before you could open an automatic redirect link from an app in any other browser other than Safari, you had to copy the link from Safari and paste it in the browser you wanted to open the link with.

It was annoying and frustrating, but thankfully, if you have an iPhone or iPad running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14, or above respectively, you can change your default web browser. This has come to relieve the worries you would have faced a few years and months ago.

Now you can look on the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad and look for any web browser you want to use as your default browser and it will be possible.

How to Change The Default Web Browser on iPhone & iPad

First of all, before you proceed with anything, you need to make sure that you have downloaded the web browser you would like to use as your default browser. These browsers are mainly, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Also, make sure that the browser has been updated to the latest version.
- On your iPad or iPhone, open the Settings app. If you have a lot of apps and cannot find it, use the search bar and type Settings.
- Scroll through to locate the browser you’d like to use as your default browser. Once you locate it, tap on it.
- In the app’s settings, tap on Default Browser App.
- A list of all installed web browsers will be shown. Tap on the browser you want to make your default browser and see if a blue check sign appears next to it.
- Once it is done, tap the Back button and exit Settings.
- Open an app and try to open a link to see if it will open in the new browser you have set as your default browser.
NOTE: This works on iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and above ONLY.

Conclusion

Well, Apple has now attended to the cry of their users and has removed the monopoly power that Safari had on the iPhone and iPad.
