Gotta love HN. OP talks about phone useflows that in "no way your everyday person would have a clue how to deal with such cases" on a Samsung phone. They get a reply about a hack about apple phones when unusable.

You do notice the irony, right?

While it isn't helpful for this person, I'm happy that I read it so at least I know the "correct" solution to this problem now should I ever encounter it.

It's worth a shot though, and it kind of makes some sort of logical sense. Samsung and Apple have copied each other since the beginning, so it stands to reason this might work.

How ironic would that be?

It’s not a hack, it’s expected behavior. Go to an Apple store with a broken screen, and this what they will have you do. If I remembered the title of the support article I would have given it to you.
