- | [* black] Prying off the back glass, with lots of heat help |
---|---|
- | [* black] The camera bump is welded to the rear case, not attached to the glass as was the case with the [guide|97481|iPhone 8|stepid=178976|new_window=true], so removing the glass busts it off. |
- | [* black] Or I guess you could break the glass to keep the bump intact, but then... no glass. |
+ | [* black] Bonus round: What happens when you break the rear glass on your brand new iPhone X? |
+ | [* black] After lots and lots of heat, we sheathed the Spudger and drew our [product|IF145-259|Jimmy|new_window=true]. Like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, The X features a seriously glued rear panel. |
+ | [* black] After all of our careful Jimmying, we're still stuck: Unlike the [guide|97481|iPhone 8|stepid=178976|new_window=true]'s single piece rear panel, the camera bump overlaps the rear glass, but is welded to the metal frame beneath. |
+ | [* black] In this classic hand stuck in cookie jar situation, we can either cut off our hand (the camera bump) or shatter the cookie jar (the rear glass). Great. |
+ | [* icon_note] We opt for the camera bump-ectomy for an intact glass panel. Those replacing a broken panel won't have to do that, but they'll have a heck of a time scraping out the shards of glued-down glass. |
