Me too. Was fully expecting some sordid "American Pie" stylee confession, however anatomically unlikely it may have appeared from the thread title...
The truth is often a disappointment :(

I know the feeling, too bad your case was with an iphone though...
Hope she understands at least.

Iphone :) deliberately hard to replace stuff so you just buy a new one when the battery runs out.

If any, you should feel good that you kill an iPhone, now get her a real phone; Galaxy 4 should be nice, if you can't afford it, anything android based is better than an iPhone.

You did her a favor, now go buy something from a company that doesn't fuck you in every way possible.

I'm not an apple fanboy and i don't even own Apple products, but i have to ask. How does Apple fuck you over ? Oh you mean how they don't let you update to the latest version of the OS? Wait that's Windows Phone :D. (i'm still asking myself why i bought that stupid lumia :D)

But yeah, you can always be a persistent hipster tool who likes to spend way more money on inferior products.

Apple is expensive because of the public, Steve Jobs released a Smartphone with a premium price and people bought it back then (well there wasn't any other option until Samsung showed up with iPhone copies of their own), thus creating the brand power of "Apple" and increasing its price. The other major factor being that Smartphones came into existence because of Apple and Steve Jobs, no steve jobs = no smartphones.
Now there are those that don't see anything beyond an Apple device because apparently that would ruin their "image" and won't reflect their "wealth" (nowadays it's all about showing how rich you are compared to others without even realizing that upon death all of this will be left on Earth and they'll be rotting wherever one goes after death) while there are some who wanted "freedom" over their Smartphones' OS and thus migrated to the Android race.
Neither is better and never will be. It's all about what you want. Simplicity (iOS) v/s Freedom (Android).
Then there's the whole "but Samsung has more features!!", yes that's true but think about it, do you ever use ALL those new features that keep on getting added? Apart from showing off to friends and siblings, I don't see any other use of Airview and the other craps they keep releasing. Also iPhone is no better either.

smartphones predate iphones, there were blackberry type things that just never caught on
besides re: spending$ to show off wealth...what do you expect? you can't leave it for your children anymore with the way the government taxes inheritances, what else is there to do with it other than find ways to blow through as much as possible before death. theres only so much you can secretly stash it in the walls before you get caught hiding it on your taxes, after you hit that point its time for great grandma to get an iphone and junk it for a new one like an idiot whenever the battery dies or the headphone jack gets lint in it or you leave it in the sun which for some reason makes the screen warp or when the powerbutton wears out for no reason because you can't repair these things

Apple is overpriced for the quality, both in hardware and software.
They love censorship.
The are ready to use components that are damaging our planet even thought they said they wouldn't use it, just because it's cheaper for them because everybody agreed to stop using them because of the environmental issues.
If something goes wrong, you have to pay much more than the average to repair it.
With cheaper open source alternatives, the choice seems pretty easy.

If you strip away most of the Google services and proprietary components Android is pretty darn barebones. AFAIK, nowhere near the functionality of some of the more popular linux distros in vanilla installers. Google's marketing of Android as fully open source is playing semantics.
you know who else calls others hipsters? a hipster.

Hey, don't worry about it dude. You didn't fail to fix it, you just found a way NOT to fix it. Smile and life smiles with you. :)

Here, I will make you feel better:
Back then I bought a newly out of the box iPhone 3GS. Was happy and all, then 3 months later I was going with friends to the beach. And forgot that my iPhone was in my swimsuit pocket... yeah. Feel better? :)

Apple products suck at trying to replace batteries on. It took me several hours to change the battery on an ipod video. I vowed I would never do it again. When the battery life failed to recharge on it again, i traded it in at best buy and said I would never get an apple product again.
Buy her an Android phone.
