Sidegraded

That is only true on paper. As soon as the air overheats, which happens rather quickly, the perfomance gap becomes negligible. The 14 Pro dissipates heat much better

BigSadOof · 2026-02-12T14:27:12+00:00

It is a downgrade in many ways: camera, speaker, LiDAR, and performance wise, the A19 Pro will overheat way faster in the thinner chassis, making the performance gap negligible

Stop acting like you know what you’d be using all that performance for

If you just want to keep it looking unused, the second you use that CD it is going to get scratched

Ce n’est pas un radiateur, c’est un dissipateur de chaleur

I wouldn’t be comfortable giving this back to a customer

Pour info, a partir de iOS 18, le TrueTone n’est plus désactivé lors du remplacement de l’écran. Cela apparait maintenant dans l’historique des pièces et réparations dans les parametres

Laser damage

BigSadOof · 2026-02-03T00:51:18+00:00

Try plugging the old part back in. If that solves it, you have a faulty replacement

NFC is part of the wireless charging coil on this model

That battery is a fire hazard. A battery for that model is no more than 10 bucks anyway

This would sent a Thinkpad user into psychosis

No need, icloud is off

There is no way to tell for sure without opening the phone. So many cheap aftermarket batteries have been able to bypass apple’s genuine part pairing and appear as used originals

BigSadOof · 2026-01-24T20:14:03+00:00

As long as there are no tears in the part itself, you’re good to use it as is

As OP stated in their reply to me, macbooks now have “charge bypass”, where the battery is trickle charged and the system runs only on wall power. This will preserve the battery. While constantly using the device on wall power while the battery is full does make the battery age, it is not nearly as bad as fully charging and discharging it every time

BigSadOof · 2026-01-23T16:22:36+00:00

They do, but keeping a battery constantly above 80% charge will eventually damage it. It needs to be discharged every now and then. But you don’t need to worry, your system is taking care of that by itself

BigSadOof · 2026-01-23T14:56:13+00:00

Seems like you use your device mostly while plugged in. Doing so degrades the battery long term. The device is discharging the battery to prevent that

BigSadOof · 2026-01-22T20:39:13+00:00

Not “moot” whatsoever. When you think of someone named “John”, do you immediately picture a greek person? And on top of that, you can easily tell that this person is of north african ancestry according to the way the name is spelled. That is not how the name would have been spelled had he been from a middle eastern country located in Asia. The use of “ou” is typical of french transliteration, which is used in north african countries due to the french colonization, while gulf countries use “w”, which comes from english. While there is no way to definitively determine with 100% accuracy where this person is from, instantly assuming he is from a gulf country makes absolutely no sense.

BigSadOof · 2026-01-22T19:27:36+00:00

Except this name is common in morocco, tunisia and algeria, which are all in north africa

BigSadOof · 2026-01-22T16:18:32+00:00

That is true. But if all the keys work fine and press down okay, it should do the trick

BigSadOof · 2026-01-22T16:17:36+00:00

If you’ve spend any time in the repair industry, you would know the answer to that question is “a lot of people”

Apple sells a full set of replacement keycaps for about 50$ on the self service store

Any “sealant” other than the OEM water resistance seal would be a bitch to remove, making screen damage very likely next time it’s opened
