This cute little fella popped up on the bench today for bios flash.

Anyways it was a nice and easy morning routine, so why not ✅

iFixit ha smontato l'#iPhone17e, il nuovo modello economico di #Apple, scoprendo una compatibilità inaspettata. Il pannello posteriore #MagSafe dell'iPhone 17e è intercambiabile con quello dell'#iPhone16e.
El iPhone 17e puntúa 7/10 en reparabilidad según iFixit… y su panel trasero es compatible con el 16e. 👀
¿Apple apostando por la durabilidad o simplemente optimizando producción?
L’iPhone 17e est loin d’être une refonte majeure de son prédécesseur, et cette révision a principalement ajouté la prise en charge du MagSafe et une nouvelle puce. Ce manque de grosse nouveauté s’observe bien sous le capot : iFixit a démonté l’appare...
