What CRACTT weighs

  • The real complaint

    Battery, storage, or speed each have different and much cheaper fixes.

  • Repair vs replace

  • Generational gain

    Whether the upgrade changes anything you'd notice daily.

  • Deal quality

    Trade-in values and carrier credits against the strings attached.
