Do You Need iPhone Adhesive to Repair? In examining the requirements of the adhesive that is used in iPhone repairs, one must consider what it performs and what taking away could potentially compromise — functionally, water resistance, repair-wise or all three.
Operational and durability
An iPhone can be reassembled after being opened without the adhesive, but that may limit structural integrity. That adhesive is what keeps components like the screen and the back cover firmly in place, so that they don’t come loose over time. The OnePlus 9, Nord N200 (i.e., the cheap one) and Nord CE 5G will only ship with a screen protector installed; if you don’t stick them on right, there could be unintended consequences: “Removal of this Screen Protector without the assistance of an Official Servicecentre may cause additional damage to the device. Combined with adverse conditions your device may develop traces under it,” reads OnePlus’s fine print beneath its guide for putting on these screen protectors.
Water Resistance
The only reason they use adhesive in iPhones is water resistance. Apple devices have meaningful water resistance guidelines and this adhesive can make that seal to keep out any pesky moisture. Consequently, if during repairs the adhesive is excluded from these edges this seal has probably been compromised and just as more accessibly to water than before. The budget is often a key point for some users, even if they should be spontaneously briefed on the downside which comes with it.
Ease of Repair and User Experience
This shift towards facilitating repairs has renewed the debate about the need for adhesives One day the rest of the Android community will realize they should all actually be securing their devices like Apple does – without glue – but for now we’re left taking a few steps backwards in terms of dustproof, minimalist design. Some new tech to make battery and other repairs easier on the devices, and more reliable. For example, Apple is looking into electrically induced adhesive debonding schemes for upcoming models that could aid in repairs without compromising the level of sealing.
To sum it all up, yes you can fix an iPhone without replacing the adhesive, but that also comes with inhibition of function and protection. These are the factors that every user must consider carefully before deciding what is in his best interest for repair.
