MOOCs on sites such as FutureLearn show that you have an interest in the subject you are taking. They are usually made by universities, just make sure you keep a record of all the MOOCs you have done.

Reading around your subject will also help and you can then mention that in your personal statement when you apply to university.

do you think my hobby of repairing iPhones would be relevant at all to computer science? like would it be categorised as a super curricular or would it just be an extra curricular

I don't know much about computer science, but I think it could have some relevance, I would recommend asking your teachers in September whether it would be useful on a personal statement. You could mention it either way because a small portion of your personal statement is dedicated to the extracurricular side.
