05 November 2021
The culprit is a teeny, tiny little chip that appeared on the display's flex cable.

    I wonder what Tr1x and Re1zor think about this.

      The lengths they will go to restrict third party repairs. It can be a good thing though, because this way no thief can steal phone's display, if the owner falls asleep in a bus or a train

          Most because they think it is fancy like Prada handybag, Rolex watch or Bugatti car.

              This is why I prefer budget ipad.
              Touch ID is way better.

                And no other biometric unlock except FaceID.

                  Yet another good reason never to buy an aPple product.....

                    Apple defenitely did this on purpose

                      get rekt.

                        Lmao. Serves you right
