Hey everyone, OCD user here. I'm posting because I've been haunted by a question for the last few days. For context, I was switching the case of my iPhone 15 Pro Max (I have a few different cases and like to change them up), but this time, while removing the case, my nail got caught in the gap between the screen and the titanium frame of the phone. I applied a bit of force, thinking I was removing the case, but then my nail slipped, and I realized I wasn't actually pulling off the case. I also want to mention that visually, I don't see any apparent damage, but my OCD keeps making me think otherwise, and I'm really sorry to be writing this over something so trivial.

So, here's my weird question: is it really impossible to accidentally detach the screen from the titanium frame with your nail?

Okay, I know this might sound utterly silly. I'm aware that I have some unusual behaviors regarding my electronics, probably due to my OCD, so please, no judgments or harsh comments - I'm already pretty hard on myself. I'm attaching a photo to illustrate the gap I'm talking about for those who can't quite picture it. The photo is not mine and shows an iPhone 13 Pro, not my model, but it still represents the gap I'm concerned about.

Thanks for taking this seriously and for any responses you might have. Sorry if you find my question really silly, but it's important for me to get some answers to ease my mind.

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your non-judgmental attitude and kindness. I really appreciate you taking my post seriously and am grateful to those who responded. Thanks to you, I'm finding it easier to accept that it was impossible for me to have damaged anything on the phone when my nail got stuck in the gap between the screen and the frame while I was removing the case. Thank you so much, everyone.
