Props for conducting this, I applaud your curiosity. I see a couple problems worth pointing out.

  1. 10/14 isn't actually very good. At n=14 you're at a 68% confidence interval which really isn't much better than a coin flip. A sample size of 14, missing just one is only 80%, not great.

  2. You really should have a third category of "i don't know/i can't tell". By only have two categories you may artificially increase your score by guessing correctly.

Sounds pretty shiddy tbh. I haven't had Samsung since the first Galaxy S, been using pixels since the first one. Only had to repair one, 4a5g. Screen was like $110. I can't tell the difference. My eyes may suck though. Generally I have good luck with electronics though. I fried a MacBook once with a 3rd party charger but otherwise made many upgrades to them over the years with ease. Now I opt for the solder everything in there so it's as small as possible option and run a tower at home.

Eh, I've found them to be pretty accurate if not a little too harsh. YMMV based on how comfortable you are at taking things apart though. I've never worked on an iPhone, I don't own one so maybe they're more difficult. Definitely software locks are no good. But so are blanket "unrepairable scrap metal" statements.
