Overview

• iFixit reports the phone is surprisingly easy to open and assigns a relatively high repairability score.
• Internals consolidate the A19 Pro chip with a C1X modem and N1 Wi‑Fi component in a compact logic‑board layout.
• Many parts are faster to remove than on past iPhones, with the glued display and back glass flagged as the main hurdles.
• The battery can be reached through the back glass and lifts out when its adhesive is energized, reducing prying risk.
• Phone Repair Guru demonstrates the $99 iPhone Air MagSafe Battery’s cell working inside the phone as a replacement, a swap not officially confirmed by Apple.
