Screen repair is the single most common out of warranty iPhone cost, and a six to ten dollar sheet of glass absorbs the impact that would otherwise crack the display. A case is second, a spare charger third. Everything else can wait until you know how you actually use the phone.",{"question":26,"answer":27},"Do cheap tempered glass screen protectors work as well as expensive ones?","For impact protection, mostly yes, because almost all of them are the same 9H rated tempered glass in the same 0.33mm thickness. What you pay more for is the alignment frame, the oleophobic coating that resists fingerprints, and how well the edges are cut for a curved display. A three pack under seven dollars with an installation frame gives you two spare attempts, which is worth more in practice than a marginally better coating.",{"question":29,"answer":30},"Is a MagSafe compatible case worth it if you do not own a MagSafe charger?","It is worth it if you ever plan to use a magnetic car mount, a magnetic wallet, or a magnetic power bank. The magnet ring adds almost nothing to the price on current cases, and once your case has it, the whole accessory ecosystem opens up. If you know you will never touch a magnetic accessory, skip it and buy on grip and drop rating instead.",{"question":32,"answer":33},"Are third party chargers safe for an iPhone 17?","A charger that supports USB Power Delivery is safe, because the phone and the charger negotiate voltage before meaningful current flows. The phone will simply refuse a charge profile it does not accept.
