Fix it, or replace it? Let's do the math out loud.

iTiger profits from repairs and from buying broken phones — so our only honest move is showing you both numbers and letting them argue it out.

The counter rules we actually use

Screen or battery on a phone under four years old: fix it, nearly every time. A screen repair or a battery swap beats three years of phone payments by a mile — get the firm quote and compare it against the payment plan.
Quote creeping past half the phone's working value: replacement starts winning — or sell it to us broken and put the cash toward what replaces it.
No more security updates: if the phone carries your bank and your work, lean replace. A budget fix buys time, not protection.
Water damage: speed matters — corrosion keeps eating after the phone dries. If it can't be saved, the repair charge is zero, and the buy offer still stands.
Carrier "free phone" offers: those usually come as monthly bill credits spread over 36 months. Price them against the screen you actually need before trading in a fixable phone.

No fix, no chargeA diagnosis that ends at "don't" never turns into a repair bill.

We buy broken phonesIf replacement wins the argument, the broken phone still puts money in your pocket.

Common questions

When does a phone stop being worth fixing?

Roughly when the repair runs past half of what the phone would sell for working — or when it's aged out of security updates and your banking and job live on it. Bring it in; we'll price the repair and the phone and do the math where you can see it.

Can a battery swap really make an old phone quick again?

When the slowdown is the battery failing to deliver peak power, yes — it's the best dollars-to-performance move in the building. If your lag is storage or software, the diagnosis finds that instead, and we fix the real problem.
