[deleted post]You spoke my mind. Iam not a fan of non-repairable phones. Never brought a phine which does not come with replaceable battery. Iam ok with heavier or thicker phone so that it does not slip from my or my kids hands. India

India..Hate complicated repair. Have seen some good assembled gadgets. Layers of rubber aternating with thin circuit boards with 4 to 6 corner generic screws and 3 centre screws.

I liked the 19 screens keeping the heat sink secured from the main frame, but I didn't like how the motherboard is secured without rubber shock absorbents washers.
Still wondering what the copper conduit does (it's not related to the processor). Perhaps to help cooling down the battery?
