Why I replaced my Apple iPhone screen myself

collected by :Clara William

I recently broke the screen on my iPhone 6s and went searching for my replacement options. For Apple to fix the screen, I would have had to pay $149 and wait over a week for an appointment at the nearest store in the Bay Area. The company sells $60 replacement kits for the iPhone 6s as well as kits for other phones, tablets, computers, smartwatches and drones. It's important to note that iFixit's screens are not genuine Apple parts, because those are available only through official Apple service centers. If you're even the least bit technically savvy and are dealing with an older iPhone, I highly recommend repairing the screen yourself.

Apple faces iPhone ban in India over government-mandated anti-spam app

as mentioned in Besieged by spam calls and messages, Indian smartphone users have waited years for Apple to allow a government-developed spam-fighting solution onto iPhones. As India Today reports, Indian telecom regulatory agency TRAI has spent years dealing with smartphone spam complaints, going so far as to self-develop an app called Do Not Disturb (DND) to stop spammers. The Indian edition of the Huffington Post says that Apple agreed to cooperate with TRAI on building the DND app last October, but wouldn't share call and message logs. Indian customers are said to receive a daily average of between five and ten spam calls and as many messages. If Android users have access to the DND app and iPhone users do not, Apple might inadvertently be giving spammers the upper hand with its users, undermining the "premium experience" generally marketed for its devices.
