How incredibly stupid. And she wonders why I stick with the Android. This is the 2nd time we've performed this tedious operation, but the first time we must have trashed one of the ribbon connectors (No camera or ear speaker function, speaker phone and earbuds work). One ribbon connector on order as a last ditch effort.
This and the tedium of iTunes/music download is enough to keep me android.

I replaced the battery on my 6 (not S) before I had to upgrade, and it DEFINITELY needed to be replaced to remain in service. Truly bizarre process. Not sure if it is ignorance, planned obsolescence, or just that they're so in love with their sleek designs that they do zero planning for maintenance. No high end piece of equipment should have to be disassembled with suction cups and mini-pry bars.
Also, was this supposed to be in Moe's?

I saw it in Moe's.
I helped a friend replace a screen on her iPhone 9. That was a process and a half. We each ended up breaking a ribbon wire so it was time for a new phone.
I use Androids and for the 1st time I have a phone that I cant open. Its a OnePlus 6. I love the phone and this is my only gripe.

I was a field tech back in the heyday of Fax machines. Our product was manufactured by Matsuxxxxa (Panasonic). Great stuff with sensible disassembly and component access. Then came the cookie cutter units by Brother, et al. Replacing a fusing unit went from under a minute and 2 screws to total decasement. By the time we switched to Canon I was ready to throw in the towel over the stupidity.
Hah, love the xxxx filter!

Oh, I was wondering why you were typing a bunch of xes in there. It is the same thing if you try saying c&o#c@ktail. It won't let you say Chicken. Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken!
