My iphonese2020 has just given up i guess

I have this iphone se 2020 from past 4 years my brother bought it in 2021 used it for about an year and gave it to me the first 2 years were AWESOME lovely , I understood why people love the IOS and apple things
Since last October this phone has gone through more surgeries than any other human being alive
4 screen replacement
2 times battery replacement
2 times charging port replacement
The back as we speak is still broken is horrendous manner
The charging port is still not functioning am using it via wireless charging only
And now it heats up too quick maybe due to the heat in delhi but even normally it is not keeping up properly
Open safari and searching something up is a whole new task
I want to upgrade really bad but i cant due to money issues
Is there any possible manner i can make this thing better in terms of speed like opening apps or calling
Please help if anyone can it would be appreciated

Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10a — which one would you recommend for my use?

Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide between the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10a, and I'd really appreciate some advice from people who actually own or use them.

My main use would be:

  • 📱 TikTok, Instagram and other social media
  • 🎵 Listening to music for several hours every day
  • 🎓 University: PDFs, browser, Google Docs, WhatsApp, etc.
  • 📸 Taking lots of photos
  • 🎥 Recording videos
  • 📱 Heavy daily use, often throughout the entire day

I'm particularly concerned about battery life, overheating, camera quality and storage.

I'm planning to keep the phone for several years, so I'm wondering whether the differences between the Pixel 10 and 10a are significant enough to make the regular Pixel 10 the better choice for my use, or whether the 10a is already more than good enough.

Samsung A16 5g review

Piece of sh*t. Had it for a few months. Discharges faster than it charges. Then it won't charge on a car charger. Have to use a wall charger or portable. And then I have to jiggle it and get it in just right on either one for it to charge, then sometimes it falls out overnight and doesn't charge at all. Lags and is slow, and I get the System UI not responding frequently have to restart. Worst phone I've ever had.

I made an interactive teardown of the phone you're holding

It pulls data from, and is designed to be read on, the phone itself. Any feedback welcome!

Update recommendation request

I have updated my phone regularly, but I think my phone's suffered from it. I wonder, If I'd never updated my phone, would it be the same?

Is this phone still "Usable" ?

I have noticed that lately this phone started to Overheat A Lot, and it's charging port isnt working. So I have to use wireless charging to charge it.
I can't show it here but the corner near the camera is broken too, (But the camera isn't broken)

What kind of phone should i get?

So i currently have a Samsung A14 but it's in shambles and i need to get a new phone (going to look for some secondhand)

Some things I'm looking for is

• Samsung phone

• Thicker sides

• Less laggy (have had this phone for ≈ 3 years, lags alot)

• Better camera

• More affordable

Please don't call me out on any mistakes or something similar, I'm a 17 year old that's forbidden to get a job and has to buy a whole phone by herself. I don't understand all of the fancy stuff about phones and I'm just looking for a quick solution, not a lesson. I'm not looking for people to tell me "just buy another A14" or "No phones have all of those requirements, you're looking for too much" or "you can't find a good but cheap phone"

I'm not trying to be rude, i just want to get answers i can research towards

Thank you to anyone that helps! 🩷 Edit: Pricing I'm not really sure how much second hand phones go for but anything under 5k denar (81,27€, $93,73) is basically fair game

I do want to save money as I'm also alone for buying myself most things next year

Can’t login to my Apple ID on a new phone

so my old iPhone broke, like it doesn’t turn on anymore (went to see if they could fix it, no luck) and i just got a new one but I can’t login to my apple id because i can’t get the code it sends to my old phone. unfortunately, my recovery contact is unavailable (we don’t talk anymore, long story) so I can’t use that option but would anyone know if there’s any way I can ask Apple to change my recovery contact or something? or should I call Apple support? any advice is appreciated thanks xx
