seeing as the iphone8 I had was already such an old phone and honestly needed a LOT more work over repairing the broken pixels, just getting a new phone seemed to be the best thing for my money's worth personally. the screen & back of the phones glass was overall cracked, inside parts shown, the mic didn't work without corded headphones, not to mention I had to get apple headphones just for it to work, thanks to no headphone jack. I had a case for it too but since the phone was pre owned & free, for me, its just personally not worth my money getting it repaired. I was super lucky my roommates mom had an old working phone she could pass down to me.

$25 for activation > $300 for a new phone or repairs. apple is already so limited on everything it's expensive just to own one you got for free.
