There are few things worse than your smartphone breaking, it is both heartbreaking and potentially wallet-busting when it happens. There’s nothing easy about getting your phone fixed, and it only gets more difficult when you start using third-party parts.
There can be many reasons why people might use third-party parts — or be tempted to use them — instead of going with official parts. For instance, your phone may be out of warranty, and you want to save some money. Alternatively maybe your phone is declared obsolete by its manufacturer, meaning there are no new parts. That just happened with the iPhone 5s, for example.
