Serious question, does anyone actually like working on those new Samsung fold phones?

Had a rough three days last month in my shop in Tampa trying to fix a Z Fold 4 with a busted inner screen. The whole thing is basically glued together, and the official repair guide wants you to use a $400 jig just to line up the new display. I think the industry push for these ultra thin, glued shut devices is making our job way harder than it needs to be. What's the worst glued together gadget you've had to deal with lately?

Actually, that $400 jig is for the Fold 5, not the Fold 4.

Wait, is a $400 jig for a phone even a real thing? That seems like a crazy amount for a tool. Maybe it's just me but I can't imagine needing something that specific and expensive.

Well that makes it a total bargain then, @noah_murray.
