  • The Most Common Causes Of Cracked iPhone Screens In SA Might Surprise You

    Dropping your phone in the toilet isn’t the best thing to do, especially when the bowl looks a little worse for wear.

    Yet, no matter how many times people are told to be careful with their possessions, it’s an accident many South Africans have made.

    In fact, according to one repair company, it’s the most common reason phones are booked in for repair.

    If it’s not that, it’s sitting on it after sliding into that snug back pocket. Yes, that’s number two.

    But the third most common reason for people booking in their phones for repairs is something a little more personal, and comes in the form of extreme jealousy. I’m going to let MyBroadBand explain this one:

    A Durban cellphone repair store owner said he “has lost track of the number of times he has been asked to fix cellphones smashed by furious wives or girlfriends”.

    “My last client’s girlfriend smashed his phone against the wall after she found a message from another girlfriend,” said Nomi Abbas.

    I mean, I have seen that happen with my own eyes, so I am not even surprised.

    If you’re a stickler for ensuring your possessions look slick, it gets worse.

    Once a screen is broken, Cnet reports that users don’t typically fix it for around six months. Users would rather let their cracked screen gradually get worse than repair it immediately because, well, it takes effort.

    Thankfully, local iPhone repair shop weFix have taken steps to make it a whole lot easier for you to get your phone fixed.

    Pop over to their site, pick the nearest store to you, and send a detailed email to courier@wefix.co.za requesting a pickup and return from your specified destination. Include model, dates, reasons and, well, your name would probably help, too.

    If you’re looking at your phone right now, and check that the cracks on the screen are getting awfully ambitious, you should probably get on it ASAP.

    With 34 stores in South Africa and 651 245 happy customers and counting, weFix has your back.
