Chosen Solution

Alright, so I recently came across an Product Red iPhone 7 , and as I barely opened the display, the LCD, Home Button, and Earpiece ribbon cables ripped. This was really annoying considering that I barely opened the display. Has anyone else noticed this? I just can’t imagine that this design could even be logical, because how would they have connected the cables during assembly if they were so short?

That short length is all that’s required, and there are much more specialized tools involved in assembly. Unnecessarily long cables take up space too, which for phones is a huge disadvantage.
