SO i just fucked my gf's iphone. feel rotten :(

Sounds to me as if the phone would have been useless w/o the battery replacement anyway.

At least you tried, and that also counts for something =)
Sure it s*cks to break an expensive piece of equipment, but hey, it's "only" a phone, right? And material things can be replaced ;)

Phones' internal components are ridiculously small/fragile. I once succefully replaced my ribbon cable for the screen BUT touched the ribbon cable for the power button in the process, which broke.
Luckily there's a shop here that does that kind of repairs for cheap-enough, so I only lost 1-2€ of the original cable, compared to bringing it in immediately.

An iPhone will probably be a little more expensive but hey, it's not the end of the world.
Just be prepared to hear her complain about the fact as soon as the first fight. No matter how hard they say "it doesn't matter", they just write down everything and use it against you, sooner or later. :D
Have a nice day!

That's what happens when you outsource your production to the world's cheapest factory.

Only an iPhone, no real loss.

Happy? :p

Thanks for Skyr... oh. :(

Soon to be ex-gf

Careful... They're not intended to be taken apart...
Well, buy her a new iPhone 5S then?

You filthy fuck, buy her new one.

prepare to source out fresh cash for a new phone and to convert you being clumsy enough to break her phone to some kind of emotional credit

At least battery replacements in iPhones work in some cases, a "stupid" co-worker of mine wants to convince me that you can increase the internal storage of an iPhone, by taking it apart, and soldering a replacement larger memory chip, and he knows somebody who did it !!

iphone sucks, seriously.

Get her an android phone, like a galaxy or a nexus.

Thank God it was just an iPhone :P
Ok, iPhones aren't that bad, but I'd never trade one with my lovely HTC One, so much better ^^

So my tip would be to apologize and be her personal slave for a week (if you aren't a permanent one)xD

Well done. Shouldn't have tampered with it yourself.

SO i just fucked my gf's iphone. feel rotten :(

I was wondering how you managed to have sex with her phone... but felt it is right for you to feel rotten about it.

You just learned the hard way why you shouldn't buy any Apple stuff. It's a shame it broke, but now you'll remember to get something with real replaceable parts next time.

Did you stick it in your pooper or something? How do you fuck a phone?

loltarded

One of the reasons I like Samsung phones, easy to replace the battery :) bad luck dude.

how can you screw up an iphone so bad? I've taken apart my sisters a 100 times (she keeps breaking the screen so i replace it with cheap china-knockoff screens) and the only thing i fucked up.. was loosing a screw..

and the battery? to replace that the only thing you need to remove is the backplate and then 1 screw

buy her new phone, apologies - problem solved

if the battery needed to be replaced the phone was fucked anyway

Make it up to her by getting her a smartphone. Galaxy S3 can be had for around $100 on contract (16GB model). Does everything an iPhone can do and so much more. Slide typing doesn't sound like it would work out too well, but like anything else in tech, once you advance, it's hard to go back. And look up the "ZeroLemon 7000." Triple capacity battery. Wish I had one. Mine's just 4400 (stock is 2100). I don't know what capacity batteries iPhones use. Probably really low. They don't tax their battery because the OS is gutless. I mean it's not bad for what it is, but it's like a Wii next to a gaming rig. One's drawing more power because it's more demanding.

Android isn't perfect and neither is Google. Far from it. The manufacturer Google owns (Motorola) has the worst track record of updating their phones. And the new Gmail has support for ads (yes, in the app), they just haven't been turned on yet. But Android is based on Linux. An Android phone is basically a computer. Hook up a keyboard and mouse (Bluetooth, or USB via a USB On-the-Go cable and a hub) and they work just like you'd expect. You can even hook up a monitor with the right cable, turn off the phone's screen, and use it like a PC. It's a PC operating system made for a touch screen. iOS... well, it's like the OS on a game console, or an MP3 player. It was made to serve the functions of that device and little else. That's part of why it's gutless. You could also say Android's bloat hurts the battery, and you'd be right. It's not optimized well for mobile. But it's a lot of fun... and it's really cool to say you have a PC in your pocket. But for most people, it's "just a phone." Like a gaming rig is "just a computer," they can get on and open Firefox and get on Facebook...

iPhone sucks anyway, get her a new Android phone :P

Buy her a new one. It would be so sweet :)
