Deciding whether to repair a damaged phone or buy a new one involves a financial calculation, considering the cost of repair relative to the device's current market value and the potential for future software updates. Generally, repairs costing less than 30% of the phone's value are advisable if the device is expected to be kept for another year. However, significant performance degradation, being out of warranty, or multiple points of failure may indicate it's time for a replacement, especially with new models offering advanced features like improved cameras and longer software support.
