Checking on eBay I see screens for the 4A (4G) in the range of $136-$145. The 4A 5G has even screens for $100. Does the fixing cost $160 on top of that to come out to $299? I'd check other 3rd party repair shops. For a repair shop which does that on a regular basis I think it takes them ~15 minutes. For me it'd take several hours for sure. All modern phones have a very bad iFixit score. One thing for certain: never buy any Apple if you care at all for Right to Repair ( https://www.ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair/Intro) or would expect a possibility of a repair cost lower than an extortion. https://www.ifixit.com/News/45921/is-this-the-end-of-the-repairable-iphone Don't buy Tesla for the same reason (just in case if you are thinking of an EV) and don't buy any John Deere either.
What's that $600/mo save?
