There is something wrong in the other side.
Whey you try to make a phone that is water tight, very tiny, tough and as durable as possible, you can't expect it to be easy and safe to open with easy tools. These tools are still cheap enough that you could have them in your local community center or library (here in Finland we have weird stuff in local libraries) where people can do it.
Changing batteries to watertight wrist watches or is also hard.

- Gigachad 4y agoHow would you remove a friction fit backing for a phone? That would be a massive amount of force if it was fit tight enough for a phone backing. The adhesive is relatively easy to remove tbh, the tools aren’t rocket science. The average person doesn’t even replace their own watch battery because the stores can do it for them. There is close to no benefit to doing it yourself.
- omegabravo 4y agoInterestingly enough, friction fit watches have speciality designed tools for them so you don't damage the face when applying the pressure. I recently changed my watch batteries and had to use multiple clamps to close it. You can repair an iphone without these tools, you're just taking more of a risk.
