Why repair an Apple device rather than buying a new one?

 Did you know that an iPhone has an average lifespan of 5 years? However, the French tend to change their phone approximately every 2 years (all brands combined)! This reality is easily explained:

At the slightest malfunction of the device, we are tempted to replace it rather than have it repaired.
Every year new models are released that are ever more powerful, lighter and thinner, which can give us the impression that our iPhone is obsolete... although this is not the case!

And this does not only concern the iPhone, but also the Macbook or the iMac!

Today, we are going to explain to you why in certain situations, it is more interesting to repair rather than buy a new Apple device!

Is repairing an Apple device more economical than buying new?

We often hear that it is cheaper to buy a new technological device rather than repair it? In reality, this is not entirely true. To know whether or not it is interesting to have it repaired rather than buying, you must refer to the general condition of the device as well as its age.

A device like the iPhone is considered economically repairable if it is not too old. Indeed, when a smartphone is no longer sold, the price of spare parts does not drop and can even increase due to their rarity.

So, if you've had an iPhone for 18 months, the repair will be worth it. In addition, if you take care of it, it should be in good general condition and should therefore not require major repairs.

Is it more ecological?

It is always more ecological to repair than to buy a new device: this is true for all brands, including Apple!

Indeed, the manufacturing of an iPhone, a Macbook or even an iMac pollutes, it's a fact.

Hence the interest in not changing your devices when it is not necessary: ​​yes, the new iPhone is more efficient than the model you currently own, but if the latter still works perfectly, do you really need to more ?

Another solution: have your iPhone repaired to buy a new one!

The repair and purchase of Apple products are not necessarily opposed.

If you have had an iPhone for 3 years and it is still in good general condition, you can have it repaired to give it a new look (for example, with a new screen if the current one is cracked or with a new battery new if the current one loses autonomy). You can then resell it at an attractive price, which will allow you to lower the price of your new iPhone!

Of course, it is important to check whether the operation is economically interesting before starting to repair your Apple devices before resale!
