and sadly bought an Iphone XS like that and it led to loads of issues.

Coincidentally, I was thinking of getting one myself.

What Issues did you experience?

Not the guy who posted that lol, but I had an XS and it was actually quite good. Camera quality was great, but I remember it sometimes used to freeze/bug out. This was pretty rare though. Also the normal XS is quite 'small' - depending on your preference you might like the bigger models. IMO, the 11 and 12 are pretty similar to the XS, so you're not really losing out on much.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Any tips on the resealing job?

I agree with what the guy said above. I'm glad the OP had it done, but I myself was in the same situation and there are options out there. I'm only saying this because I was in the same situation myself when I brought a second hand iPhone, but the thing was that I saved up for quite a while to be able to afford it, so it came as a very unpleasant surprise. Luckily, a guy from the repair shop that I go to regularly [redacted] knew how to resolve such an issue, which seemed unrepairable. Anyway, I've been a lot more careful since then with what acquisitions I make and from where.
