Non-genuine iphone screen + battery?
Discussion
I have a 13 pro which I like, the screen is quite badly cracked and battery now going a bit weak. I was going to buy a new 17 as the new screen and battery from apple is exorbitantly priced.
I’m a bit of a snob so have never had a non-genuine screen or battery.
But I’m now reconsidering; has anyone had non genuine replacements and think they’re ok? I don’t want to change them myself so I guess would be one of those little phone shop / counter places that are everywhere.

I had non-Apple repairs to my children's iPhones. They were always substandard. Only authorised repairer repairs were any good.I m a bit of a snob so have never had a non-genuine screen or battery.

I dropped it when videoing fixing my car; and then later dropped a tool onto it, when videoing fixing my car!
I have a cheap old tablet for the garage.It's a bigger target for dropping sockets onto, but so far it's survived.
I bought a cheap secondhand iphone because I didn't want to care too much about it, it gets used on boats a fair bit and sometimes in a holder on the bars of my mountain bike.
As others have said, the replacement screens look all washed out compared to the genuine ones. I normally think of insurance as a waste of money, but Apple care on my daughters iPhone Pro 15 has been worth it.
First 55 days into her new phone she broke the screen, the replacement cost is £400 (she had to pay an XS) . Then a few months later she dropped it in the bath and they gave her another brand new phone. I thought they were supposed to be water prrof, but it got water inside which I assume is because the screen was replaced?
She has now broken the back glass, but I think you can only claim twice in a year?
