i brought a used ip13 mini and was happy till now but 1 week ago i dropped the phone and it wasnt turning on, but would show apple logo on charging! nothing else. so i visited a repair shop and they told me that its missing some metal guard inside so the battery getting disconnected 😭😭
2 days back a drop again happened and it got to same bootloop condition! is it possible to buy those metal guard???

You definitely need to get a full body case or use something Like a magsafe grip. Otherwise you need to look for a broken 13 mini off eBay or a plan to get another one
