because I thought retail was ded

If you can make money doing it, and the market for iphones/androids is only increasing, people will need repair services. I see no downside.

uninsured people that can't fix phones go local

is there anyway to find out how many people insure there phones over here? apart from asking friends. UK btw

phone repair makes decent cash if you can buy various batteries and screens in bulk. $50 to replace a screen or battery and you can do it like 15 mins after doing it a few times? if i had patience for people, i'd be all over that

Why are you even considering this? Just get some crypto and go to the fucking moon anon.

Some people want stable income.

There's actually a local repair guy that explains why Apple is a shitty company (as if we already didn't know) without coming across as the type to shill his business:

He's dead wrong about the screen repair biz vid though, just saying normies will dole out $100 bucks for a new screen without shopping around.

any nay sayers? seems odd that there's no critisms

The only downside I'd say is that specifically for iPhones, Apple has a new policy that allows people to bring in their used iPhone (has to be damaged/broken/cracked) and they get it replaced with a near-new (refurbished) device for $80-175 depending on repair/market value. That's what I did w/ my 3 year old iPhone 6+ which I then sold it on Swappa to buy my iPhone 6s+

Additionally what's stopping consumers from purchasing their own self-repair kit that includes glass/lcd for $25-60 online.
