comment:
The LCD screen and the front panel are now bonded together, which reduces the disassembly step. However, after the screen glass is broken, it needs to be replaced together with the LCD, and the probability of breaking the screen during disassembly is also increased.
The internal structure is more compact, making repair more difficult.
