iPhone 14 screen can't be repaired, how long to wait?
Hi everyone. I recently dropped and smashed my iPhone 14, phone still powered on and worked (and I was able to attach it to iTunes and transfer data from the phone to my laptop) but I basically couldn't use the very bottom of the screen.
I took it to a local screen repair place last week, but when I came back to get it the guy said that when he tried to put a new screen on, the screen started to get hot, and that he'd need to wait a couple of days for the phone to cool down. It's been over a week now and he keeps saying come back in a couple of days, come back in a couple of days. Does this sound dodgy? I can see giving it a couple of days once, but surely if it's not fixable now after more than a week, it's not going to magically become fixable in a few more days?
Is it worth taking the phone to an Apple Genius Bar to see what they say?
iPhone 11, iOS 26
