      The real scam is iPhone 13 series owners UPGRADING to iPhone 14 series. 😭 But hey, it's their money so they're free to use it however they want, right? Even if they don't pay all their creditors, eh?

        After watching how hard it is to disassemble and assemble parts, pairing and hanging issues, i would say 4/10 score is too generous. It should be 2/10 or at the most 3/10.

          potato4k, 26 Sep 2023“Apple still pairs each glass back to the corresponding dev... moreLook at the ribbon for the wireless charging coil on the rear glass at the 3:49 mark of the video.
          My guess is that wireless coil "shares" the serial info for the glass as well so if you have a different coil, the iPhone sees both as not original.

            "Keep in mind that Apple still pairs each glass back to the corresponding device so repairs will need to be validated via Apple’s System Configuration tool."

            The... back glass... also needs to be validated...

            Yeah I think Apple may have gone insane.

                  Anonymous, 26 Sep 2023Rear glass is weaker compared to 14 pro They want to make money from replacements

                    “Apple still pairs each glass back to the corresponding device”

                    Wait… what? So even the glass back is serialized? Like how? It’s not an electrical component. Am I missing something?

                    And yeah, for those of you praising Apple for “supporting” right to repair, yeah, reality distortion field is stronger than ever.
