Listener Questions

This week, we’re taking things old school and going back through our Reddit AMA that we recently hosted. We thought it would be a good idea to revisit it and answer some of the frequently-asked questions we get.

• What is the most common issue you come across besides things like cracked screens and battery replacements?
• As an independent repair store owner, what can we do to help the right to repair movement?
• iPhone screen replacements you have on stock, are these original apple displays? or very good quality 3rd party displays?
• What's your favorite screw head?
