Replacement screen

I have a 15 pro max, unfortunately though the internal screen has been damaged by high impact. I have two option, either a very similar Oled to og priced at 280 (not dollers) and another that’s high quality, but it’s only problem is it’s 1mm thicker than the phone, priced at 180. I’m willing to spend on what’s better but if it’s not that difrence I’d rather save the 100. What do y’all recommend

Iphone 6 not charging or turning on

I told my dad that I kinda know how to fix phones, so he gave me this beat up Iphone 6 and told me that if I fixed it I could have it. I love the Iphone 6 so I decided to accept the challenge, when I opened the phone I was surprised to see a bloated battery so I just removed that and disposed of it safely. I already ordered a replacement battery but while I was waiting for the battery to arrive I took a quick look of the logic board or mother board I dont really know what the name of it is and I felt it looked pretty weird, not sure if I should replace it too. Can someone please tell me if I should replace the board or not? Or will the battery be enough. Thank you

I ripped this flex cable and now my phone is boot looping

So after replacing the proximity sensor which was causing a previous boot loop, I replaced the back glass because it was cracked and, when taking the flex off my original part, I accidentally tore it :/ (see picture).

I bought an aftermarket part from eBay with the flex but that’s also causing the boot issue and it’s not going away.

I’ve also attached the panic log thing below.

What should I do. Please advise.

3rd party battery replacement showing this error

Today I had my battery replaced from a 3rd party service provider. At first the technician tried to connect it with his data but it showed this error. We also tried connecting it to my personal data and it still doesn’t work.

So he suggested that I connect it to my personal wifi at home so I did. But it still showed this error. I’ve already updated the IOS and restarted it multiple times.

Someone else suggested resetting network settings. I have not tried that yet.

Can someone please educate me why this is happening. This is my first time having a battery replaced.

How trustworthy is CellDoc

Recently had my phone submerged in salt water for 5-10 minutes. It completely died. Flew back to home, and gave it to a repair service, CellDoc. The phone had been dead for 72 hours prior to the initial salt water damage. The repair man opened the phone and said the screen and motherboard were damaged. I have very important personal documents on my phone, but iCloud backup did not cover it. He says he will FIX the motherboard and screen, which would give me my functional iPhone 13 back. He asked for my password, and I gave it. Can I trust them? From what I understand, motherboards in iPhones are very very difficult to repair. And I haven't heard much about CellDoc, so I REALLY hope they have not gone through my documents.

Picked up this 15 pro with non working Face ID, while inspecting it looks like what I think is the dot projector is cracked/smashed. Is the apple self repair website my only option to fix this? Thanks.
