As the holiday season rolls around, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the rush of deals and gift shopping. For families, especially those with children, deciding between repairing an older iPhone or iPad versus buying a brand-new device can be tricky. But this year, consider skipping the high price tags and supply chain delays that come with new gadgets. At Legit Electronics, we believe a repaired device could be the perfect way to save money, reduce waste, and give your kids what they need.
The Case for Repairing vs. Buying
A shiny new iPhone or iPad always seems tempting, especially with all the ads touting the latest Black Friday deals. But before you commit to spending hundreds—or even thousands—on a brand-new device, ask yourself if repair could be a better option. For kids who often need devices for school or entertainment, a fully restored iPhone XR or iPad Air 4 can serve just as well as a brand-new model. Repairing your device not only saves money but also reduces e-waste during a season when consumerism is at its peak.
Why Repairs Are Perfect for Kids
Children aren’t always careful with their devices. Whether it’s cracked screens, dead batteries, or faulty charging ports, kids’ devices take a beating. Instead of replacing a damaged iPhone 11 or iPad Pro, why not repair it? At Legit Electronics, we use high-quality parts to restore devices to like-new condition. Repairing is faster and far more cost-effective than buying new—and you don’t have to worry as much about accidental damage if the device is pre-loved.
Common Repairs to Save Your Holiday
1. Cracked Screens
One of the most common issues we see during the holiday season is cracked screens on iPhones and iPads. Whether it’s an iPhone 13 Mini dropped during a family dinner or an iPad 9 used a little too enthusiastically, we can replace screens quickly so you don’t miss a beat.
2. Battery Replacement
A dead battery can turn even the most exciting gift into a disappointment. If your iPad Air 3 or iPhone 12 struggles to hold a charge, a battery replacement is a quick fix that makes the device as good as new.
3. Charging Port Repairs
Kids love to pull and twist charging cables, which can lead to damaged ports over time. At Legit Electronics, we repair iPhone and iPad charging ports so your devices are ready to power through the holiday season.
4. Speaker and Audio Issues
Whether it’s muffled sound or a completely silent speaker, we can repair your iPhone SE or iPad Mini to ensure clear audio for video calls, games, and holiday music.
The Budget-Friendly Solution
Repairing your iPhone or iPad is significantly cheaper than buying a new one—especially during the holidays when budgets are tight. Black Friday sales might promise discounts, but even a “great deal” on a new device can still cost far more than a simple repair. At Legit Electronics, you can save hundreds of dollars while giving your family devices that work like new.
For example:
• A new iPhone 14 might cost over $1,000, but repairing a cracked screen on your current device might cost under $200.
• Replacing the battery on an older iPad Pro could save you from spending $600+ on a replacement.
Sustainability Matters
The holiday season is a time of giving, but it’s also a time when waste skyrockets. Opting to repair instead of replacing your device helps the planet by reducing e-waste. Every iPhone 12 Mini or iPad 8 that’s repaired instead of discarded contributes to a cleaner environment. Teaching kids about sustainability during the holidays can also be a valuable life lesson—and it starts with small choices like repairing electronics.
