Overview

• Despite a 5.6mm profile, iFixit scored the iPhone Air 7 out of 10 for repairability, matching the iPhone 16.
• Core electronics sit on a compact logic board around the camera area while the lower half is largely battery, yielding a flatter, more modular disassembly.
• The battery is accessible through the back glass, is metal‑encased for rigidity, and uses electrically debonding adhesive that releases under power.
• GSMArena reports, citing Phone Repair Guru, that the MagSafe Battery accessory appears to use the same cell and a demonstrated transplant worked, though Apple has not confirmed interchangeability.
• Entry still involves pentalobe screws and glued glass panels, which remain notable hurdles compared with the otherwise simplified interior.
