gollark: With my *phone*, it certainly isn't easy but I think you can, with somewhat specialized screwdrivers or whatever, swap out the display and battery without paying too much. Though it's old so honestly it might be cheaper to just buy a new used phone.
gollark: With my laptop, *some* failed components (SSD, RAM, WiFi card) can be swapped out easily, at least.
gollark: With my desktop, basically anyone can repair it if they can read a basic guide and have a screwdriver, and can obtain replacement parts.
gollark: This is partly a consequence of the greater integration necessary for thin devices (not that I think thinness is worth that), but partly just them being evil.
gollark: You can't practically *repair* iDevices. They are designed to prevent this.
