Based on what the article said, I have to ask. Is there lots of glue applied inside Apple products? Is that primarily in small devices for waterproofing? Not knowing much about manufacturing, I’d think that most people would expect parts to be secured together via solid metal screws or something other secure.

On all Apple devices the display is glued on, and on smaller devices a few of the internal parts are glued. Check out an iFixit tear down for a look at where the glue is.

Even cars are being glued nowadays. Glases, aluminum roofs, etc. There are dozens YouTube video about car body repair and glue can be found in surprising places. No solid metal screws or welding points.
