DO NOT REPAIR PHONES ON IOS 26 DEV BETA
I am a 3rd party phone repair guy, about 3 hours ago a customers phone exploded after installing a new battery. Thankfully this happened while the phone was still in my hands and not the customers and I was able to get the phone to the side and everyone away from it. Some background, we test our batteries for 30 minutes before installing into a phone and they go through rigorous testing during production, after installing into the phone I was putting in the last screw and the phone started smoking like hell so I grabbed it pushed the customers away and tossed it behind a showcase we display phone cases on. While it could be many other things that could have went wrong as of right now it is the most likely. Please if you are on IOS 26 and NEED a repair, pay apples prices and get it repaired there.
