Review on YOXINTA iPhone XR Screen Replacement Kit - Touch Screen LCD Display Digitizer with Frame Assembly Repair Tool and Adhesive Strips - Compatible with Model A1984, A2105, A2106, A2108 by Corey Owens

So this iPhone XR replacement screen seemed like a good choice when I bought it. I just installed it after watching some YouTube tutorials as it was very accurate and slow. The glass looks like the OEM, the LCD is ALMOST faithful (at some angles under certain lighting conditions you can see the grid under the glass). The included waterproof adhesive was a bit tricky to position correctly and I may have misplaced mine as I was able to push the bottom of the screen 8 inches with enough pressure, it just snaps back into place. Display swap worked. ok for about a week until recently, on a hot afternoon i was trying to catch an uber and the screen got very hot (of course as always) but it started clicking on things on its own trying to do that Unlock password and press, numb or also known as ghost touch. I put the phone back in my pocket to let it cool down and thankfully that fixed the issue. It has been found that some iPhone replacement screens are POOR grounded and can cause ghost touch. It's a shame, but I was willing to deal with it. Then, a few days later, I drop a few drops of water onto the glass shade and run it down my shirt like I did thousands of times with the original shade before THAT replacement. , after a few minutes it starts to disconnect and tries to enter the passcode, Ghost Touch. But now it was forever. After testing the touchscreen, only the lower right semi-quadrant works, I can't even enter the passcode to unlock the phone. I also can't swipe the slider to turn the phone off. Oh cool :). I dropped it due to water damage and got some good rice to get rid of that moisture. I leave it in rice (bad, might I add) and the phone starts touching ghosts, typing WRONG password AFTER WRONG password. After the infamous curfew, you get the "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes” message, which eventually happened. Now I'm REALLY locked out, not only that, but my memory proves me right - I turned on the setting to ERASE ALL DATA after 10 FAILED attempts. Now all my data may or may not be gone. iTunes doesn't recognize the iPhone even though it says it needs to be connected to iTunes to restore it. The best part is that I can't get into recovery or DFU mode because my VOLUME UP button isn't working properly (broken). I removed the replacement screen with the phone on and put the old one back. After unplugging the battery, the phone remains completely locked. I'm unlucky, the photos are gone, the two-factor authentication app codes are lost, and I'm temporarily disconnected from my phone until I can go to the Apple Store to see what they can do. 10 dollars say they will only recommend me to buy a new phone! My only hope is that I don't have this setting enabled and maybe it's just safe and sound with all my data (probably not, I'm an experimenter enabling features but forgetting about it). I'm angry, calm but angry. What's the lesson here? Don't buy a Chinese replacement, have your phones repaired by a reputable source like Apple Care or maybe iFixIt. Good luck folks, Apple products are notoriously terribly repairable. We'll be speaking to the great minds at Apple Care soon. (Did I get bad karma for wiping my phone on my shirt? LOL JP)
