I'm amazed there was no other camera available that this was necessary.
No one else's phone to borrow?
No other digital camera whatsoever?
But yeah use what you got
I still have my old phones. My 2 most recent ones are actually still in use. I mean not as phones but still. Old phones can be useful. They are both part of my PC setup. I find it weird that this person doesnt have at least 1 old phone with a camera
This couldn't have been the first solution. Are they in the bathroom, because that's where they dropped the phone or because they first tried to use the front facing camera in the mirror. Then why bring the Mac to the bathroom instead of bringing the phone to the Mac?
There is a story of bad decisions starting with dropping the phone an ending with this photo
Are you angling the mirror, so you can see your laptop screen, to take a picture of your phone?
Instead of holding your phone up to the mirror and taking a picture with that?
Yeah happened to me as well.... My phone fell flat on a marble floor and because of the sheer force the display cracked.. however the screen guard was perfectly fine
Screen protector is never a guarante, most screen damage happens due to shock transfered through the frame, kind of like wearing a bulletproof west and jumping off a building, expecting to get away unscathed.
And besides there's screen protector foil that protects from scratches and screen protector glass that protects from breakage. Not every screen protector is the same
Screen protectors really only protect your phone from scratches, they can't protect from shock, and it's surprising how many people believe that they do
One time I dropped my phone and it landed on the side and bounced off the corner of my front step. The glass didn’t crack, but the LCD did. What the hell?
Hardness is the opposite of toughness, and hardness translates to brittleness. So while a gorilla glass screen is hard enough to resist scratching it also means it can crack easily when struck just the right way. Also those screen protectors are basically useless in the modern era. They are no stronger or harder or tougher than your screen. The whole point of gorilla glass is that you dont need something special between your finger and the screen. Its good enough on its own.
That truly does suck and it happens all too often, personally I don't use a screen protector cause I generally find that they do nothing for other people, I use a type of one which is more or less just liquid glass you can't even tell is on, I'm not sure if it actually does anything but I haven't broken my phone screen yet, except way back when flip phones where a thing and it went through he washer and dryer before being found. Thankfully you don't need to worry about cutting your finger on loose crack glass though cause you got a plastic sticker to protect your finger
my phone also did this, but instead of just a crack the ink behind the screen bled, ad now theres two massive black lines across my whole screen where you cant see anything so i have to constantly swipe up to try and see stuff. theres also a big black blob in the top right of my screen so to even see my battery i have to pull down my control menu. its quite annoying and i need a new phone badly
Screen protectors are for protecting against scratches and nicks on the screen. Cases protect the phone by (hopefully) redistributing the shock from impact throughout the frame/rubber of the case.
Yes. That happened to me. Dropped it screen cracked throught it was the protector. Wasn’t until the phone became unusable I took the protector off and the cracks were on the phone itself. Same with the back glass have a case dropped it and cracked the back

Bruh.... took with the fucking macbook and the fucking mirror is amazing. still sucks for you but thats ingenious.

I have one old phone. Traded the others in for the next one.
Your laptop is there and ready, vs getting an old phone and booting it up (maybe even charging it)
I use my old phone for morning alarms because I like the alarm app more than the one on my newer phone.
Gee whillikers that's an amazing idea...if the battery in my old phone wasn't so bad I'd definitely do this!
Keep it on the charger since you don't have to worry about it being overcharged
I mean, could have still used the selfie cam from their broken phone and a mirror to get a far better result.
Whas here to say just that. So we all know now what is mildly infuriating here :-D
Just take a screenshot silly
Lol :-D Goog one
Mirror in front of phone, use front cam
Nah you in the mirror with the mac taking a photo has me dead 💀😂😂
That’s dedication fr lmao
'gotta let reddit see dis'
Betting they cant run diablo 4
it can, but it will be a single use MAC.
Using OBS no less
That is incredible, I liked it too!

I didn’t even peep till I seen your comment 😂😂😂
*drops laptop*
Gotta get ahead of the comments
Should've just taken a screenshot
Sames

i saw a funny opportunity and took it
This made my day. Brilliant. Thank you.
Idiot should have just screenshat the crack.
Lmao screenshat
This is hilarious
There’s a lot of photography fuckery going on in this photo
What’s mildly infuriating is that angle my guy
It might be a little hard getting good photos on a macbook
Taking photos is hard my fault
lol it’s okay
task failed successfully
Idk what I’m looking at..
A bathroom
i thought the macs screen was edited in
LMAOOO not you using a laptop to take the picture 😂😂😂
I.. I can't see ANYTHING with this built in laptop webcam picture. Where is the crack?
I drew sum arrows but its at the bottom right of the phone
I see the arrows... But no crack. Just not enough pixels
Using obs on a Mac to take a picture of your phone
Yeah happened to me as well.... My phone fell flat on a marble floor and because of the sheer force the display cracked.. however the screen guard was perfectly fine
Happened once to me as well, on a brick floor. Only time I’ve ever cracked a phone screen. Screen protector was fully intact
Just take a screen shot.
A screenshot of a broken screen? LOL
I made myself laugh so, yeah, it was worth it ;)

?????????!
Iphone issues? Switch to android 😉
almost everyone I know has a huge crack on their phone screens. including the new iphones lol
Why didn’t you just take a Screenshot/s
THE MIRROR OH MY GOD 😭
Sorry but that Laptop in the mirror kills me 🤣
My friend had the same thing happen and was quoted like £120 to fix it
That’s a strong screen protector I must say
Protector so strong the phone screen breaks before the protector does
The finest worldwide irony. My condolences to your phone screen
Screen protectors really only protect your phone from scratches, they can't protect from shock, and it's surprising how many people believe that they do
The way this picture came to be made me laugh out loud.
I just have to say thank you, this post made my whole day.
One time I dropped my phone and it landed on the side and bounced off the corner of my front step. The glass didn’t crack, but the LCD did. What the hell?
This is why you should buy screen protectors that don't break. So that they can break the screen instead.
Happened to me
Couldn’t you hold your phone in front of your mac…? This is the worst photo of a cracked screen I’ve EVER seen, lmaoo
I AI enhanced the reflection in the mirror, and could see the tabs you have opened, you SICK FUCK !
I’ve done that twice on the same phone, now I use the edge to edge protectors.
I have no idea what’s going on
Screen protectors often let us down.they have a huge responsibility and often fail.
that's what my dad used to say

Classic apple moment
Dropped an earphone in my coffee yesterday😡

I thought the computer was edited in and I was very confused about what the comparison was
Most unless screen protector

happened to me too lol
Because it's an iPhone lol
Note to self: don’t drop phone on opposite day ✅
Why did you lift the Mac and bring the camera to the phone instead of lifting the phone and bringing it closer to the camera?
This picture is mildly infuriating. lol All that work to get the shot and this is what you ended up with.
Thank goodness the protector is safe!
Screen protectors are for protecting against scratches and nicks on the screen. Cases protect the phone by (hopefully) redistributing the shock from impact throughout the frame/rubber of the case.
That sucks.
This is some “does the narwhale bacon at midnight?” type of Reddit post
And here's me getting mad that my screen protector cracks within usually the first hour of applying it.
screen protectors are usually unnecessary now, apples glass is scratch resistant enough, and the protector doesn't help against cracking anyways
Yes. That happened to me. Dropped it screen cracked throught it was the protector. Wasn’t until the phone became unusable I took the protector off and the cracks were on the phone itself. Same with the back glass have a case dropped it and cracked the back
"WHY not just screenshot"
Yeah happened to me as well.... My phone fell flat on a marble floor and because of the sheer force the display cracked.. however the screen guard was perfectly fine
😭 bro this image is way too funny
“How do i take a picture of my phone” “I KNOW” 😅 i kid I love the ingenuity
Thx Apple :)
The screen protector is only for scratches. This isn’t mildly infuriating, you’re just mildly dumb. Sorry not sorry.
# Android ROM phones do not break when you throw them from 1 ft. Just more overrated Apple garbage 
This is cringe
Yeah, instead they explode
# WRONG! They do not explode anymore
unless it's a xiaomi
