      normal human well if I have a damaged iPhone that will cost me a lot of money to fix it, instead of keeping it in my drawer. I would give it to someone who can repair it and video the process of repairs for educational purpose. That’s what a civilized person does

      Certain emotions or anger can overcome us like a pair of girls made me mad so I threw mine at the road and did the same thing, it's not that I didn't care about the phone it was just a sudden burst of emotions.

      Most of the phones that bent in half likely have snapped logic boards, bent batteries, broken frame, cracked glass, broken displays, or all of the above. Only a few could be repaired from that kind of bend.

    I have done so many iPhone repairs, but this is insane. I surely would break so many things inside that phone trying to get everything back in, that is to say I don’t lose a piece first. Well done, you have fully replaced the enclosure on what I believe is the most difficult iPhone to work on(I usually let my coworkers handle the iPhone 8 models).

      Some kids at my local park were smashing an iPhone 5. Then they left, and middle-finged the iPhone and left the iPhone there, so i picked it up and it was demolished, i bringed it home and i called my friend to came over to my house. When we both got home, i went and plugged in, it showed me 2 vertical green lines and it was only it. Left on the charger for 4 hours then i heard the iPhone charge sound. Placed my sim card on it and called it from my friend's phone, it ringed. So i ordered a new screen for it. And that was it, working again. The frame is fucked up, battery is fucked up too(200 of 1400mah left), both cameras doens't work, flash doesn't work. That was 1 year ago. Now, the phone still works fine. I replaced the battery and the back camera. I'm commenting from it right now. If you want photos from before and after just ask me :)

      Jakob Elijas I fixed my friends iPhone 5s that he threw at a brick wall, because his girlfriend was going to travel to I think Quebec in a year for a trip, he was mad and didn’t want her to go so he threw the phone. Well it was dumb because they broke up a few months later, and by than I had already fixed the phone, all he wanted was the photos too he let me keep it. It was badly damaged the body was and still is bent the screen didn’t work and showing kids in class they decided to rip the screen and home button off, so no Touch ID. It would be an ok phone if it wasn’t for that. So I haven’t restored it further than fixing the screen. Cause with no Touch ID, bent body and terrible battery health it would cost more to fix it than the phone is worth now. I’ve seen 5s go for under 100 dollars Canadian, yet parts costs anywhere from 20-80 dollars.
