Many iPhone owners have tried it. A smashed screen, a button that doesn’t work, or a battery that is completely busted.

It can quickly become a costly affair, when an iPhone must be sent for repair. But it has a 17-year-old Monty Mahdi, a high school student from Aabenraa Statsskole, with great success made her to change.

the Idea he got when a buddy had destroyed his brand new iPhone.

We examined the possibilities to get it sold, and I quickly got clicked me in on some pages, who bought the iPhones for a very low price. The repairs them and sells them at a price that only a few hundred dollars lower than the new price, says Monty of the Mahdi, as the Extra Blade catches him in the middle of a recess.

– Their margins are higher than the stores that sell them as new. It was here that I saw the possibility of more competition in the market, he continues.

Therefore created the young entrepreneur of the nine months since the site Adaro, where users could sell their old, worn out or defective iPhones. Monty Mahdi sends the phones to a company abroad, which repair them. When he gets them back, he or she sells them on to the next consumer.

And much to suggest that Monty Mahdi has hit a great need among the danes. Already in the young sønderjydes company has been in existence for a year, it has translated to its first million, the figure shows that Ekstra Bladet has gained an insight into. Success, he says, due to the fact that he was able to see new opportunities instead of obstacles, as he began to lose money on the useless screens that did not work. Apple sells not displays for businesses.

– So reperatørbutikker must act with the insidious chinese leverandærer, where a large part of the screens, you receive proves to be defective. But it’s all about finding an effective solution. So we buy broken screens, in large quantities and change everything out apart from the LCD module. Thus emerges the new, explains the 17-year-old Monty Mahdi, as the hope that he sometime in the future get the capital to open a factory in Denmark, where the manufactured screens.
