Best place to get spare pieces in the EU?

Hey ! I am rocking an old green DS Lite, which is still working by now. But recently it started having two issues :

  • the screen is only working at certain angles
  • the shell hinge is quite bad, closing it feels « loose », and does not stay closed if moved. A piece of plastic recently came off, near from the two lights.

Quick searches online brought me to the conclusion that i might need to change the screen and the shell.

However, from what I’ve seen online, AliExpress replacements tend to be made from lower quality materials… Do you have any recommendations ??

What's the best "cheap" iPhone i could get ?

Hey ! I just broke my Pixel 4a (fp reader is dead, screen is flickering, battery health is getting really bad), and i am looking to try out Apple ecosystem. I have a budget of around 300 euros, and i have no problem looking at refurbished devices / secondhand. Here is a list i made (prices are from backmarket, a refurbished website). :

  • iP11 (around 290 euros)
  • iP12 Mini (around 310 euros)
  • iPSE 2020 (around 150 euros)
  • iPSE 2022 (around 260 euros)

I already have an M1 iPad Pro that i carry around most of the time for work / reading / video calls etc… I’ll be mostly just using iMessage / FaceTime / Maps and answering messages on average social networks with. i think I’ll keep the phone around two years max since I’m almost done with college. Am totally okay with smaller phones. I need to save a bit of money so if you see a better option, tell me!

Thanks for helping me out!

Edit : thx 4 all of ur replies<3 probably gonna get the 12 mini since i love small phones, and Face ID on my iPad Pro is just so great to open Bitwarden haha:)

Edit2: been almost one yr after i got my i12mini, and its rly rly nice, even though battery is the thing i hate the most about it. Will probably try to get the battery pack with it.
