Tell me you’ve never swapped a modern iphone’s battery without saying it.

    I did. It's a soft mess that isn't easy to remove because it's glued to the case. I was twisting and prying and suddenly it got extremely hot so I ripped it out before it destroyed the whole phone. The change was succesful, but I accidentally ripped out the flat cable connecting the volume rockers to the board.

    Absurdly easy my ass.
