so doesn't seem worth it?
No experience of a 7, but I replaced the screen on a 4s which requires removing the battery. Looking at ifix the battery design is similar.
I wouldn't recommend replacing a screen unless you're brassic or love that sort of stuff, but removing the battery is simple.
The one thing to factor is the cost of a decent set of screwdrivers if you don't have them. The free ones in the kit I got were rubbish and the chrome(?) plating on the first set I bought from a shop was too thick rendering them unusable, so I took them back and got a more expensive set. Obviously good tools are an investment.
No surprise, but there are lots of good cheap android options. Though you'll probably need to spend ~£200 for a decent camera which still may not produce as good pic - so either way a new battery is cheaper.

Hmm. I got to the steps where you have to open the screen like a book and then saw all the connectors / ribbons I could fuck up.
I've already worked on my 4s but that seemed simpler. Part of me wants to give it a go but part of me doesn't want to run to a shop afterwards to have them fix my mistake and I'll end up with a bigger bill :p

iPhone 7, served me well for 3 years plus but battery has gone. Can replace it for 55 euros. Looked at the diy way but it'll be 30 euros and about an hour work so doesn't seem worth it? Looking at xiaomi phones at a replacement tho so not sure which way to go...
