Is there a 'seal' that breaks when you open the iphone? And is there a special way to open the iphone without breaking it?
Just a random question!

When i had problems with my iphone, one of the senior managers said that staff are specialy trained to open them without breaking a seal?

There's a dot which when you start moving bits you have to take off the battery iirc

It's really not hard to take one apart and put it together. Took me about 45 mins the first time I took mine apart and replaced the screen

I must have replaced 10 parts in my first iphone 4 cause it just failed.. So easy! Parts are dirt cheap too

Just ended up giving up with a security error, i think because ide tampered so much

But they swapped in anyway!

I opened the second one because it too failed, but decided to ring apple, and they said what i asked just before! They did swap it, but i was just wondering
