there's a place in one of the industrial estates up around ballycoolin / rosemount that'll do a replacement 3GS screen for €30 or €35

 

[Anthony]

I'm thinking of doing it myself, there's a kit you can get for €6. Though small person thinks this is a sign that a new phone should be gotten.

My mate, did the DIY route.

he's now doing it for loads of folk on facebook. he said its easy. even if said small person wants an upgrade, you'll get a better trade in.

Dunno about the 3GS, but the DIY route on the iphone 4 is not easy. those phones are nuts inside, and it's *so* easy to break other stuff in the process. in replacing a home button i managed to break the speaker, which ended up costing twice as much to repair.

not worth the hassle

I've watched a few youtubes of people doing it. Looks easy. anyway I've ordered the thing. Nothing to loose. If I bugger it up the phone will just end up sitting in a dock on a stereo.

Anyone selling an iPhone 4 or 4s. I may be interested.

Maybe. Will probably know at the weekend

I am a 34 year old, affluent nerd and I’m sticking with my old-ass iPhone 4. Why? Because I don’t want my new phone to bend? Because I want a phone my whole thumb can reach? Because Steve Jobs said phones should be phone-sized? Because I’m a luddite with a long-term memory problem?

Naaaah.

It’s because this phone is fucking awesome.

Diddles was doing a line in replacing 3GS screens for a while. She thinks it's a piece of piss.

I like it when people lay out what i think in an understandable way.

Just took my first call on the new phone. It was grand.

I fixed the broken screen on the small person's 3GS yesterday. Was easy enough to do. €10

I'd say they're delighted.

The WIRED iPhone 6 Plus Review: Too Big to Fail, But Not to Bend | WIRED

This comment sums it up

Here are the main excerpts from this article:

It’s hard to blame the people who want to touch my ______. I mean, it’s so big. Now, I’m a big-ish ______ guy. For a couple of years now, I’ve listened to ______ people laugh at my big-ish, 5-inch A______. But once you go get used to holding a big unit in your hand, it’s impossible to feel satisfied by something smaller. When I use a ______ or ______ now, the ______ (and especially the ______) feels cramped. Even the ______ feels a little small to me now...And that’s good because I cannot wrap my fingers all the way around this thing. It’s just too wide...There is another advantage of going big: _____. I am hard on _____.
