My front facing camera on my iPad stopped working. My device is pristine, has always been in a case, has zero cracks, and has never been dropped. I brought it in to an apple store and they said they could fix it for half the price of a new one. Fuck 'em. I'd rather just do it myself. It was out of warranty by a few months maybe. I don't remember. The front camera isn't worth half the price of a new device.
Same experience every time I’ve gone only repair cost is always more than 50% of the cost of replacement.
