    Is the screen on the series 9 weaker?

    I had a series 6 for 2.5 years without a crack. Now a series 9 a few weeks old has a crack. Same type of usage. Is this turning out to be a common issue?

    2013 iMac 27" Cracked Glass Replacement

    The glass on my 2013 iMac has cracked following an accident, and I was wondering if it was possible to replace just the glass and not the LCD. If so, how might I go about separating the LCD panel from the glass? Is it held on by glue/adhesive? Thanks.
