He had three problems. First, his entire digital life—work emails, flight tickets for tomorrow’s trip, two-factor authentication for his bank—was locked behind that shattered glass.

“Cracked screen with AppleCare+?” she asked, not even looking at the phone yet.
“Hi,” the man said, exhausted. “I need a screen repair. No AppleCare.”
