if you can, try to make friends with someone you can trust to fix your phone, and if you do, anything sensitive, backup and delete from your phone and cloud. if you want me to really be specific, im talking about photos, but i didnt want to sound gross.

No I got that alright. I have generally had a policy of it it’s broken, then trying to repair it before replacing was something I would throw my hand at. Fixed a good few thing and learnt a lot over the years. (Broke a few things along the way too)

yeah of course, and tbh, ifixit has some good guides on how to fix phones. you might be able to try your hand at fixing it, and then not even worry about having to rely on someone else doing it, and then closing that security loop.
trust me i also do the same with my stuff, i can i fix it i try to (unless its beyond repair)
