I noticed a crack in the back of my iPhone, between the mute button and the metal bezel. It just appeared, not caused by a drop or anything. Looking online, this is happening to a lot of people. The reason why this is happening, I think, is that Apple bonded a plastic back to a [...]
I have no clue what’s going to happen on the market, but I’d just like to point out something that I haven’t seen anybody really talk about yet.
