A little sad
« on: July 20, 2013, 08:53:41 pm »
My wife borrowed my phone to go shopping. Unfortunately she dropped it outside trying to out it in her handbag.



I'm not upset, surprisingly, though sad. She was kinda sweet, she came in looking sad, gave me a hug and then showed me the phone. Followed by "when is the next one coming out?", so now we need to decide do we get the screen replaced (it's usable, but hard to read in places) or do we hold off the three / four months till the 5S comes out, or do both.

If your wife doesn't have a fancy phone I would get it fixed and buy the new one when it comes out so you both have a fancy phone.  :D

Oops. Recently did the same to my mimi IPad.  They will replace it for a price. The pain in the butt is backing up everything and downloading it again.  Putting stuff  where they should be is time consuming.

Didn't ask but sure I know the answer. Does it still work?

Get it fixed, and get a new one when they come out.😊
I have my phone and ipad on our contents insurance, when I broke my screen on my iphone. I only had to pay the excesses.

The screen can be replaced relatively cheaply. We have a local man who does it for $60. I'd fix it and give to your DW then you get the new one when it comes out or vice versa.

Your poor wife, she must have felt awful. I'd see what it costs to get fixed before I made any decision.
