Americans have spent $5.9 billion dollars on iPhone repairs since 2007

LAS VEGAS - May 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Here are some important points to take away from recent studies by Square Trade, an iPhone insurance company:

Obama and Romney's Presidential Campaigns: $5.8 billion-Americans spent $100 million more to fix their iPhones than the $5.8 billion spent on Obama's and Romney's Presidential campaigns

Contraceptives: $400 million-Americans spent 15 times more money on fixing their iPhones than they spend on contraceptives every year

Toilet Paper: $2.6 billion-Americans spent more than twice the amount they pay for toilet paper every day on their iPhone repairs

They are spending too much it appears however.  Most iPhone users don't seem to be aware that there are cheaper alternatives than bringing  your iPhone into the Apple Store.  But how much cheaper?  For instance, fixing an iPhone 5 cracked screen at the Apple Store can cost you $229, which is about 1/3 the price of a new iPhone 5.  iPhone repair shops like Go Gadgets in Las Vegas (http://gogadgetslv.com/), do their best to keep their prices as low as possible, and will repair an iPhone 5 cracked screen for ONLY $119.
