iPhone 6s Glass smashed

I was doing well with this phone from October 2015. Major iOS versions stopped with 15. But it still receives security updates and runs at a decent speed, capable of streaming all the popular services. It had barely a scratch on it, then I go and drop a glass bottle of Quink on it, striking the edge of the home button followed by a delightful pattern of cracks through the glass.

While this feels like a sign to finally update to a more current model, with iPhone 16 announcements expected in a few weeks, it is the worst time. Besides there feels to be life in this old phone yet – not ready to add to the electronic waste yet. Although there are repair shops that can do this slightly less expensively, I am going for an the iPhone 6s Screen Replacement – ordered. The battery health remains at 96% since using an iFixit battery replacement kit in December 2021, otherwise I would swap battery too.
