    Well today I smashed my iPhone 6, this is just the latest in long lineof issues. The lightening and headphone jack don't work right and the speaker is incredibly distorted. One repair shop quoted 150€ to get everything fixed again. I this a good deal or am i being ripped off.

    According to Apple's website, repair cost for the iphone 6 is €331.30, so its still considerably less than that.

    But worth bearing in mind that un-authorised repairs means your warranty (if it still applies) is deemed void by Apple....should you have any other issues with the phone in future.

    Bought it second hand with no warranty, so I'll just go for it, thank you

    The smaller parts (headphone jack, lightning connector, speaker are probably 5 - 10 euro (at most) each, the screen is approx 40 now. So you are looking at 80 - 90 for labour. Those parts are not hard to change yourself.

    I would try haggle a little on the price if you do go for it!
