When you say “I’m gonna cheat and use ___” you should at least leave a link or something on where to buy that. Looking at your comments and people still need help getting into recovery mode on their devices. You lost a lot of people there.

The problem there, There is a few different ways to enter recovery mode on the apple phones Some you can hold volume down, others you need to press vol up and down and side button No matter what I showed I think it wouldn't have helped anyone But comment noted
