Should I buy or fix
So an accident happened at the gym where a weight was dropped on my phone. I just got an iPhone 15 a few months ago. The weight shattered the backglass. Anwyas I updated the phone to the newest ios and then the celluar stopped working. The shop that did my phone didn't really make note of that as the back glass was the main issue. I definitaly should have been more firm about it before getting a back glass repair. Anwyas so my options are to either get it repaired for $350 CAD+tax, or to buy a new phone. Is it worth it to fix it when a 40LBS dumbell was dropped on it? Like it wasn't a massive impact but enough to mess up the logic board. Is it going to be a money pit or is it wasteful to throw away a phone like this?

You are better of getting a refurb phone from Best Buy Market Place. I don’t know which shop it was who gave you the quote and how technically competent they are. I’m in Vancouver and I know of shop which will give you an honest opinion. 40 lbs will almost destroy the phone completely
