I'm an elder millennial. Distrustful of technology, but conversant.

I need to back everything up to PC. I just need an actual human to tell me which app to pick, and maybe an anecdote. The rest on my end I'm fine with.

There might be the option to exchange the screen, depending your model and availability of repair shops in your area.

The anectode part: Happened to me last friday, went to a shop next day in the morning and received my now repaired phone back early evening. Cheaper and environment-friendlier than investing in a brand new one.

I like this. I'm in a small college city, so I guarantee we have a couple fix-it shops.
