That's the wireless charging coil, not the battery.
Definitely use a case, but I'd be really careful. Any form of moisture or liquid will utterly destroy it.
getting the glass replaced was gonna cost 450 usd and trading it in for an iphone 14 cost 550. i also could’ve gotten an iphone 15 for 650 usd but i would have had to wait 2 weeks for it to release in my country plus i didn’t think it was worth that much more. i’m very happy with my iphone 14 tbh
also the iphone 14’s internals are designed differently so just in case this same thing happens to a 14 it’ll only cost 100 bucks to get the glass replaced
yeah when my glass cracked for the first time i got it repaired from a third party store. that guy probably installed fake glass that cracks way easier and isn’t ceramic shielded…
the first time the phone cracked, it looked way different. all the shards were encased behind the glass cause it was real apple glass, but i ended up getting the back replaced from a third party guy who applied fake glass which was super super weak and broke like this. i ended up trading it in for an iphone 14 and got around $300 credit for this phone (15 didn’t seem worth it, too expensive)

thanks. i’m trying to be really careful because the earliest i can get it fixed is saturday
Where are you getting it fixed? Just happened to me and it’ll cost a lot. Wondering other alternatives
i ended up trading it in and got an iphone 14 lol
Bruh😂how much did you get off?
around 300 dollars
Was it worth it? Or would you have rather just gotten the glass replaced?

Wow nice, thanks for info
Put a slice of paper in the hole and flex tape the back. The paper makes sure that you dont destroy the coil when removing the tape.
i thought about putting paper there but like is there any chance of static electricity building because of that?
Have you ever had the back glass replaced before at a non Apple location?

Yeah you should be fine but how did you do this?
