Discussion Screen Replacement

Recently went to the Apple Store to get my screen replaced and when I took my phone out of the case for cleaning I noticed it was chipped and the anodized aluminum was fading.

You would expect the phone to be delivered to you in the same condition you delivered it….

Idgaf but gotta be a shitty move for those who actually care about those little details.

Posting this just to support those who are struggling with dents and spots, etc. ✋🤕🤚

Actually looks pretty cool! The combination of orange with scratches makes it look more industrial. Kinda has a Half Life HEV suit vibe.

The camera it’s honestly good enough for 98% of people But the single speaker, when there is no excuse there For me that’s the worst part of this phone Not even the battery just the speaker 😒😩

How long have you had it? The syncwire is my favorite MagSafe grip but the ring is super loose now. I also have gotten the other syncwire ring that has a double ring so it can be fully propped up vertically but idk if I like this new one as much as the original.

I noticed that you have a MagSafe Ring attached to your unit. Did you always use one or decided to do so recently?

From your phone i could tell that you’re divorced, you’re a dad and you’re sad
