How to use the word supersede?
How to use the word supersede? Could you tell me, is supersede the word to use and please can you correct the sentence?
My iPhone's start button is broken but since the screen is cracked. The start button isn't- doesn't fall under the warranty since the screen supersedes the button.
Thank you

Supersede is usually used to refer to an object/event/etc that is replaced by a newer or more superior version. The black and white television set was soon superseded by color television sets. So I think you want to word your sentences differently.

- My iPhone's start button is broken, but it is not covered by the warranty because my screen is also cracked, so that is what they will repair first.

Let me explain
Can you be so kind as to tell me how you would say this paragraph so it is clear.
My iPhone's start button is broken but since my screen is cracked. They said that because the cracked screen is more important than the start button, they can't give me a new phone. Apple's policy is that if there is a defect that isn't your fault, they give you a new phone within the fir

I would rearrange the sentences to make the order more logical. But there are several ways to word this. Here is one suggestion (I added the information which is underlined).
My iPhone has two problems. The start button is broken and the screen is cracked. Apple's policy is that if there is a defect in the iPhone, which was not caused by the customer, they will give them a new

Override is the correct word for the situation?
What do you think of the sentence under grammar wise?
The home button stopped working 2 weeks ago and between 2 weeks ago and today I broke the screen.
What about supersede in the context? Does survival instincts kick in?
If you've been shot in the leg and you're under fire, your survival instincts will kick in a

I would be simplier:
The home button stopped working two weeks ago and I later broke the screen.
Yes, you could use "supersede" in place of "overrides" in my sentence.
However, according to your most recent statement, the button was broken first and the screen was broken second. So my wording is incorrect. But, in that case, I do not understand why Apple would deny y

I heard a word that could work.
The broken screen takes precedence over the home button.
Is that natural?
What about supersede in the context? Does survival instincts kick in?
If you've been shot in the leg and you're under fire, your survival instincts will kick in and you will forget about the limp. Survival supersedes any pain you might feel from a bullet.

"takes precedence" is good.
"supersedes" in your survival paragraph also works.

Hi, Ive come back to ask if supersede in the survival sentence is the best choice, What is your choice?
Can you say that survival instincts kick in?
One other thing: Can you say that the broken screen 'falls under the warranty' Would you ever use 'fall under the warranty'?

Yes, you can say that your survival instincts kick in. That would be a common wording.
Yes, you can say something falls under the warranty. (Or that it is covered by the warranty.) However, it might be more accurate to say that the repair of the broken screen falls under the warranty.
