An Orlando company, uBreakiFix, has gone from being a living room enterprise

“Our biggest battle is getting the word out that there is an option that
buying a new phone or these overpriced insurance plans,” said David Reiff,
company vice-president.
A big battle? The numbers speak for themselves. Local 6 compared the price to
repair a 16GB iPhone4. Factoring in premiums and deductibles, here’s what it
