Overview

• Apple fit components into a 5.6mm body by creating a camera plateau and relocating part of the logic board into the bump to free space for a large metal-encased battery.
• The teardown confirms the same 12.26Wh cell powers both the phone and the new MagSafe Battery Pack, and the cell can be moved between the pack and the handset.
• The device opens from the back for battery service, uses low‑voltage electrically releasing adhesive, and employs clipped‑in front and rear glass for cleaner disassembly.
• A 3D‑printed titanium USB‑C housing is glued yet modular for replacement, and the phone earned a provisional 7/10 repairability score as Apple publishes parts and manuals.
• The logic board carries Apple’s A19 Pro, N1, and C1X 5G modem chips, and empty‑frame tests found bendable weak points at plastic antenna gaps despite strong assembled rigidity.
