Is it cheaper to repair or replace an iPhone?

In most cases, repairing your iPhone is more cost-effective than replacing it, especially for issues like cracked screens, battery problems, or charging port faults.

Example:

  • iPhone 13 Screen Replacement (Original Grade) at Citri Mobile: ~$250
  • New iPhone 13 Retail Price: ~$1000+

Verdict: Repairing often costs less than 30% of buying new. Even better, Citri Mobile’s repairs come with a certified warranty and no data loss.

  3. Unauthorised repairers – Risky, no warranty, lower part quality.

What does *#21# do to iPhone?

Typing *#21# on your iPhone shows call forwarding settings, it does not indicate your phone is being hacked or tracked. It’s a diagnostic tool.

If your iPhone is acting strange (like fast battery drain or overheating), it might be a hardware issue, not spyware. Visit our iPhone repair services page to diagnose and fix it.

  • Your phone model is still recent (iPhone 11 or newer)
  • Damage is limited to battery, screen, camera, etc.

Trade-in if:

  • You’re due for an upgrade
  • Your phone has multiple major issues

Use our Phone Trade-in tool to check your value instantly.
