      iRajApple, 21 Aug 2020@apple, These better be priced above 500$ If not I am go... moreYup, Tim Cook will be explaining to the investors why this one guy didn't buy a iPhone

        @apple, These better be priced above 500$

        If not I am going to buy one

          Why not remove all the pin connections and solder everything to the Mainboard.
          You don't want people to repair their phones themself anyways.
