    And then they break the Forcetouch gasket, and tell you to buy one before even opening the goddamn thing because „youll break it anyways“ instead of showing you how to actually open the darn thing properly without breaking half the things in their videos. And very conveniently, they even offer all the spare parts, at a astronomical price directly from their website! What a coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The normal vibration motor feels like shit. Something like an electric toothbrush feels like. Or like androids do :) the haptic engine can create really impressive, subtle or strong vibrations and it can propagate the vibration from where its located to any point on the screen, making the phone feel as if it has a haptic engine underneath all points on the screen. So no, it wouldnt be a good idea. Its the small ideas that make apple so good and stand out

    Well, no you do not have to break the force touch gasket, all you need to do if add some drops of OCA remover or even lighter fluid when getting between display and frame and do never use a blade, use a good quality spudger that has a thinned edge. I dont get why half the videos iFixit makes, involve destroying something, and then instead of doing it better or at least hiring someone eho actually knows what theyre doing, they tell ya to just buy a replacement part before you even open the goddamn thing and tell you that there is no other way of doing it! That is total bullshit guys, and it goes completely against, what iFixit stands for, they used to be a consumer-friendly internet portal, that actually helped the consumer open up and repair their device. But instead, now iFixit has come to the conclusion that selling parts and tools is a lot more lucrative than instead, actually helping the consumer here! Thats just wrong people!!
