Longevity definitely crossed my mind, although I don't know if I'm sticking with Apple for more than 2-3 years after this anyway. I just really don't like the glass back idea of the 8...

I'd have to get one before Sept 20, so I might be able to get in on the price drop.
If Apple gives you no love, I can PM you the name and number of a guy who does repairs. I pinched my iPhone 6 in a hatch of a car (don't ask), and although I didn't break the glass screen, I bent the metal and the actual LCD screen broke. It took about 30 minutes and $60, and I'm back in business. Added bonus is that my Apple Pay tap sensor wasn't working, but the reconnecting of things now has that working flawlessly too.

See what Apple says, but if you're in "nothing to lose" territory, you might be able to squeeze a little bit of life out of it yet.
