Thankfully Jonathan was able to take it to an independent repair shop for a $75 CAD adhesive fix (and battery replacement?) despite Apple’s restrictions against them.

    Boycott Apple. Like they got you, they’ve tricked you into using whatever hardware of theirs you own…but that doesn’t mean you have to buy Apple next time.

      I’ve been using Apple for seven-eight years. I left android because of poor update support from the major manufacturers. I don’t want to go back to android because Google has moved to being primarily an advertising company. Any suggestions for an alternative?

        GrapheneOS is really solid. You can use a Google Pixel with absolutely no Google spy shit on it and still have a great experience just by slapping GrapheneOS on it.

        I went from shoulder-deep in Apple’s walled rectum to 100% Apple free and GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5 was the first step I took. Haven’t lpoked back at all.
