FWIW, I think most people repair their device because it would cost much less--in some cases, nothing, but in most cases at least 3 if not 5-10 times less--than it would cost to replace the phone.

Under warranty I guess that true. But I've found that once not under warranty a repair costs the same as buying a working used one.
