A REDDIT user has claimed to have made a huge mistake that left their iPhone very damaged.
The iPhone owner says they made an accessory error that ended up destroying the back of their device.
A picture of the unfortunate mistake was posted to the popular Reddit forum r/iPhone.
The forum is described as “Reddit’s little corner for iPhone lovers (and some people who just mildly enjoy it…).”
“Do NOT stick anything adhesive on your back glass,” the disgruntled iPhone owner wrote.
They attached a picture of a very damaged device to the post which showed the glass on the back of the phone had cracked.
Some of the glass is missing and the inner contents of the phone are visible.
The post was upvoted 298 times and other Reddit users expressed their disbelief that glue could cause such damage.
“Did you rip it off fast like a Band-Aid and it was too late before you realized or was it a slow-mo train wreck and you kept going because why the hell not? Genuinely curious lol,” one user asked.
“It was already slightly cracked before my attempt, using various items to try and pry it off I knew it wouldn’t come off without shattering the back.
“Said f*** it and handed it to my boyfriend who ripped it off taking a chunk of glass with it,” the initial poster replied.
“Why would you do that without a case,” the most popular comment stated.
“My IQ was low that day,” the broken iPhone owner replied.
It’s not just adhesive that you should keep away from your iPhone.
Apple has a list of products on its website that are best kept away from the device.
“Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that might cause stains or other damage — for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions,” it warns.
Here are some of the best...
