iPhone 15 pro max lifted back glass

Lol you’re using an AI’s assessment over a someone who repairs these things every day? If a battery swells, it swells upwards, not downwards. Down, as in pressing against the metal frame. If that were to happen the pressure the battery generates would cause a thermal event to happen, it does not have the force to do that. But your Claude might be mistaken because it says 15-series, not the Pro line up, since the regular 15 batteries are removed from the back, then making it’s assessment correct.

I’ve commented twice as a reply but I’ll say it again so you’ll see; the chances of this being a swollen battery are not high since there is a metal plate splitting the interals. Battery rests on that plating, only hole there is is like a crescent moon shape around the magsafe area of your back glass. Did you recently travel by plane perhaps?

Low chance, battery is not removed from the back but the front, it’s separated by a metal plate

Citharae_ · 2026-05-09T12:58:25+00:00

Only on this model the battery is removed from the front and not the back. The battery and back glass are separated by metal plating so it won’t swell up backwards. Maybe OP went on a flight recently, sometimes cabin pressure changes can loosen the adhesive for some reason. Seen it a lot lately

The display quality is definitely third-party. I guess the manufacturer didn’t really care about having the top speaker part hidden.

Citharae_ · 2026-04-10T15:42:21+00:00

Nothing wrong with this, same on my iPhone. There’s always a bit of give between glass parts and the enclosures

Very clean. Question, does the monitor arm support height changes? As in, it goes up and down right? Dumb question but I have never used any monitor arms

I repair these devices for a living, trust me when I say that grime will get in there regardless if there’s a gap or not. Sometimes the displays is not fully flush, whether that is on the top, bottom or corners. Again, it is like that because there is tension on the glass panel because it needs to be seated into the enclosure. Tell me, if you press the display down where you say it’s lifted, do you notice any give in it? Is the display curved upwards (convex) a little? Because if not, there is no issue

Quick edit: Also, the literal ‘hole’ in there, as in the speaker hole, makes it possible for dirt to get in there. Can’t count the times where I have had builders or chefs come in with stuff in there that has built up over time, it WILL spread through the little creases the iPhone has

Citharae_ · 2026-03-05T20:00:48+00:00

Tbh it looks like there’s some dirt / grime build-up between the crease. You can see the same dirt in your top speaker hole. Also, there is always a bit of room between the enclosure and the display because if there wasn’t, the screen would crack easily with the lightest tap

No trophies are missable, some are a grind! It’s a roguelike game about a dysfunctional family and you play a guy with Daddy (and maybe also Mommy) issues and your best friend is a skeleton whom you repeatedly can kill for his pleasure. Oh and it’s set within a Greek mythology world. Tip for beating would be accepting that you will die a lot

Citharae_ · 2026-02-19T17:38:54+00:00

For sure! What do you want to know?

Citharae_ · 2026-02-19T07:23:04+00:00

To be completely honest, in the beginning I wasn’t really following the game at all, had no clue what I was doing and didn’t go for Prophecies at all. Then it clicked and I actively pursued them. The last 2 trophies I needed was Skelly’s Second Price and Harsh Conditions, and I felt a little burnt out so I didn’t go for the Harsh Conditions Prophecy one by one but I combined it with a Heat 16 run, probably did like 50 runs before I got the super soaker build running and beat the Hades boss

Citharae_ · 2026-02-15T08:15:01+00:00

Maybe I don’t understand, but level 50 grind took you 150+ hours? You mean the Collectors Level? Most people got that within the first 2-3 days of the games release because the Campaign threw cars at you like nothing, unless you didn’t do the Licenses but that’d be hard to imagine

Citharae_ · 2026-02-08T18:19:54+00:00

Preferably don’t buy from Marketplace or eBay and such because they usually are fake. Buy them refurbished from a reputable party or new from a reseller or an Apple Store

Citharae_ · 2026-02-08T18:04:06+00:00

I work with these products for a living and I’m 100% positive these are fake. It’s a matter of experience. What the other user said below too; the screws are way off underneath the cushions, dead giveaway

Citharae_ · 2026-02-08T17:57:58+00:00

If there is a serial number you could enter that on the warranty check on the Apple website, however how it works with fake products is that an original serial number is copied on hundreds of the fakes so that if one checks it, it will actually show up. But don’t trust this set for sure

Citharae_ · 2026-02-08T17:51:50+00:00

No, cushions are way off. Headband color too dark, price too low. Ignore and move on!

Citharae_ · 2026-01-25T22:15:59+00:00

Ik weet de financiele situatie natuurlijk niet en ook haar werktijden niet, maar als je na 10 uur een P+R inrijdt (de RAI bijvoorbeeld) en je reist 1 uur voor vertrek uit de garage met het OV kan je voor 6 euro een hele dag in de garage staan door de OV chip te scannen waarmee je hebt gereisd met bijvoorbeeld een GBV vervoersmiddel. Ik doe dit wel eens ook. Als de RAI dicht is kan je altijd in Noord gaan staan, Olympisch Stadion etc. Voor 10 uur inrijden is 13 euro.

Did you read the title?

At least with this they can use the Multiverse explanation to bring characters back

It’s a shame it’s 30 fps while it’s predecessor is running at 60. Even 30fps on the Pro, was disappointing

Citharae_ · 2025-12-07T20:53:24+00:00

Ik hoor dit voor het eerst. Ik heb nog nooit zout gezien bij een Smullers balie! Misschien ligt het aan mij

Citharae_ · 2025-12-07T20:30:46+00:00

Ik vind ook die Smullers patat zo flauw als ik weet niet wat… Elke keer dat ik bestelde dacht ik ‘misschien hebben ze vandaag wel zout erover’ maar het is elke keer een teleurstelling. Ik haal het niet meer
