Title:

Advice on first repairs?

Text:

Hello, I was recently inspired by the movement of this community and want to try repairing phones as a hobby. I found a man that is willing to sell his iphone 8 in working and overall good condition (battery is at 89%) with cracked back panel for 160 CAD. I looked up the replacement guide on this website and it included a weird heating instrument which I do not have and which probably costs a lot of money. Is there any way for me to replace that panel using tools form “Pro Tech Toolkit“ as I am looking to buy it? Is starting with an iPhone a bad idea? Is it worth from financial standpoint as I would need to resell afterwards?
