When a Repair Job Makes Things Worse: My Experience With iRepairMan

I took my iPhone 16 Pro to iRepairMan for a screen replacement. On the surface, they seemed legitimate - a slick website, easy booking, quick turnaround. But what happened after the repair tells a different story. Almost immediately, I noticed issues: Brightness wildly inconsistent - sometimes full blast at half slider, sometimes so dim it's almost black. Colours clearly off. The phone running hot and the battery draining much faster than before. In short: the screen replacement made the phone worse, not better.
