Are you talking about iPhone? Because repairing an iPhone requires specialist tools and specialist software. Oh, and it's all glued together. 100% of people are unable to repair their own iPhone with replacement parts because parts are serialized and require proprietary software to unlock.
If you want to support these anti-consumer practices, that's up to you, but there's really no need to spread misinformation.
lol the only specialist tool you need is the pentalobe screwdriver and a suction cup. None of the rest is needed, it just makes it easy.
And unlocking the hardware for use just requires calling Apple support and saying “hey I’ve replaced this part and need it unlocked, here’s the serial”.
Nothing in an iPhone is solidly glued in. The battery has a couple of pull tabs to make it easy to remove. Something like a Samsung it’s damn near impossible to remove because the entire battery is glued down.
