    • Nachdem wir letztes Jahr eine kompletten Überarbeitung hatten kommt uns das neue iPhone sehr bekannt vor – Apple scheint den Ticktack-Update Kreislauf wieder aufgenommen zu haben. Soviel wissen wir schon:

    • Sechskern A12 Bionic SoC mit einer Neural Engine der “nächsten Generation”

    • 5,8” (2436 x 1125) und 6,5” (2688 x 1242) 458 ppi Super Retina OLED Displays mit True Tone, breitem Farbspektrum und 3D Touch

    • 12 MP Rückkameras (Weitwinkel und Teleobjektiv) mit ƒ/1.8 und ƒ/2.4 Blenden sowie OIS. Dazu eine 7MP Selfiekamera kombiniert mit der True Depth FaceID Hardware.

    • 64 GB Speicher auf der Platine (auch mit 256GB und 512 GB konfigurierbar)

    • LTE (nicht 5G) der Gigabit-Klasse sowie 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi mit MIMO + Bluetooth 5.0 + NFC

    • Verbesserter Schutz vor Staub und Wasser mit einer IP68 Bewertung

    Is the screen made by Samsung or LG

    Johan Khan - Antwort

    You people wrongly understood the ip rating , 2 metres in a narrow tube can’t make a commendable pressure to break through the ingress protection. Same will not withstand in a higher volume tank or pond where the pressure is relatively higher than this thinner tube

    Jacob C - Antwort

    I have this phone and forgot it was on my patio table when I lightly hosed it off, it barely got wet and there was no water under the cover but then bright green lines appeared on the screen from top to bottom, it shut itself off and won’t turn back on. Used blow dryer lightly, left it in rice, tried to force restart but phone does not respond to anything, its completely dead. On youtube it’s submerged in water and they get it to work. Mine barely got wet and it’s dead.

    julie halliburton - Antwort

    Same for me …. and that’s when Face ID stopped working

    nkivell -

    My Face ID doesn’t work anymore on my Xs , told unfixable by apple

  2. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 2, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 2, Bild 2 von 2
    • Wir sind jetzt nicht so die Typen, die immer nach dem Äußeren gehen, aber bei diesen Abdeckungen aus Gorilla Glas deutet bisher echt nichts auf wesentliche Veränderungen im Vergleich zum letzten X hin.

    • ... Außer natürlich der luxuriösen neuen Goldfarbe und der neuen XL Option.

    • Dank Creative Electron können wir schon mal einen kurzen Blick auf die versteckten Neuerungen werfen, die uns vermutlich erwarten. Die guten alten Röntgenstrahlen durchleuchten auch die neuen X!

  3. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 3, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 3, Bild 2 von 2
    • Hier haben wir alle unsere 10er mal aufeinandergestapelt.

    • Wir entdecken ein zusätzliches Antennenband, wo früher die linken Mikrofonlöcher waren. Gerüchten zufolge ist dies für das "Gigabit LTE" und es scheint einen Unterschied zu machen.

    • Mit doppeltem Schraubendreher-Einsatz demonstriert unser Teardown-Techniker gleich zu Beginn, was er drauf hat.

    • Nicht abgebildet: Die zusätzliche rechte Hand unseres Teardown Technikers.

    “Here we have all our exes erm, tens lined up”

    In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:
    iOpener
    $19.99
    Kaufen
    • Apple hat zwar dieNamensgebung verändert, aber glücklicherweise nicht die Öffnungsprozedur.

    • Unser iOpener schiebt ne Doppelschicht, um den versteckten Kleber zu lösen. Dann kommt Verstärkung in Form eines Saughebers und eines Halberd-Spudgers, so können wir das Display befreien.

    • Wir hatten schon befürchtet, dass Apple die neue IP68 Bewertung durch einen Haufen Kleber erreicht, aber dieses iPhone war nicht schwieriger zu öffnen als seine Vorgänger mit einer IP67 Bewertung.

    Didn't you skip the part of removing the 2 screws? Proofread your stuff

  5. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 5, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 5, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 5, Bild 3 von 3
    • Wir sind bei diesem 2-in-1 Teardown ein bisschen unterbesetzt, also haben wir einen lokalen Experten hinzugezogen, der uns hilft, die iPhones zu öffnen.

    • Der Mangel an opponierbaren Daumen verlangsamt die ganze Sache etwas, aber mit unseren Schraubendrehern ist es so einfach, dass es sogar ein Känguru hinkriegt.

    • Nach dem Entfernen der Displays machen wir die ersten Unterschiede zwischen dem XS und dem XS Max aus.

    • Die Größe der Taptic Engine im Inneren des XS Max wurde verändert – größeres Gerät, stärkere Vibration?

    • Das XS Max enthält auch ein erweitertes Logic Board, bei dem einer der Displaystecker nach unten verschoben wurde.

    • Der Akku des XS sieht komisch und neu aus, während der XS Max Akku beim gewohnten Design bleibt.

    I think skippy voided the warranty

  6. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 6, Bild 2 von 2
    • Auf der Suche nach Anzeichen für einen verbesserten Schutz vor Staub, Wasser und Schmutz richten wir unser Augenmerk auf die größte unversiegelte Öffnung im Gerät – den SIM-Kartenslot.

    • Obwohl die Dichtungen (die wichtigen Teile) etwas anders geformt sind, sehen sie bei genauerer Betrachtung weitgehend unverändert im Vergleich zur letztjährigen Version aus. Wären wir allerdings in China sähe das alles ganz anders aus.

    • Die oberen Peripherieteile sind erledigt, jetzt können wir uns endlich auf den wichtigsten Teil jedes iPhones der S-Serie konzentrieren – das Logic Board!

    Will a locked US phone be able to use a sim or an esim from a second (non-US) carrier?

    Charles Krueger - Antwort

    From Apple support:

    To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Otherwise, both plans must be from the same carrier. If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM won't support CDMA. Contact your carrier for more information.

    Charles Krueger - Antwort

    Does the sim slot on the board have contacts on both sides that would support the dual tray if it could fit through the housing?

    adambehrendt - Antwort

    Why my phone shows no service but i changed to another phone , its works fine

  7. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 7, Bild 2 von 2
    • Wir haben diese Art von Logic Board schon einmal gesehen, und haben Erfahrung darin, dieses PCB Sandwich auseinanderzunehmen. Lass uns nachsehen, was sich auf der obersten Schicht befindet (XS links, XS Max rechts):

    • Toshiba TSB3243V85691CHNA1 64 GB Flash Speicher

    • Apple 338S00248 Audio Codec (möglicherweise von Cirrus Logic)

    • Cypress CPD2 USB IC zur Energieversorgung

    • NXP CBTL1612 Display Port Multiplexer

    • Texas Instruments 61280 Akku DC Konverter

    audio code is cirrus logic?

    tim cook - Antwort

    Main PCBs are from AT&S,nice!

    Peng - Antwort

    Question: What the hack happened to the first pictures Kondensators on the right site? Was it like this when you got it?

    Jan Blatt - Antwort

    melting a circuit board apart is hard, and stuff gets shifted.

  8. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 8, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 8, Bild 2 von 2
    • Computer, Zoom auf die Unterseite der obersten Platine!

    • Apple APL1W81 A12 Bionic SoC über Micron MT53DS12M64D4SB-046 4 GB LPDDR4X SDRAM

    • STMicroelectronics STB601A0 Power Management IC (möglicherweise für Face ID)

    • 3x Apple 338S00411 Audio Verstärker, zwei für Stereo und einer für das Haptische

    • Apple 338S00383-A0 Power Management IC (möglicherweise von Dialog Systems)

    • Apple 338S00456 Power Management IC

    • Apple 338S00375 System Power Management IC (möglicherweise von Dialog Systems)

    • TI SN2600B1 Akkulader

    Any ideas how the dual SIM support (physical SIM’s) will work for the China only model? In the presentation Phil stated the two SIM’s would be held in the carrier back to back.

    For all the other’s I assume the eSIM would have the ability to support two SIM codes on the Xs. And on the Xs Max one physical and one eSIM is that correct?

    Dan - Antwort

    those are not codecs.. those are amps from cirrus?

    tim cook - Antwort

    It looks like one SMT Component was placed a little skewed in the upper left corner?

    jfro63 - Antwort

    I'll bet that capacitor shifted while separating the top board.

    Christian DeYong -

    What’s the size of the A12 chip?

    Tim R. - Antwort

    who are Dialog Systems?

    camerongribble - Antwort

    Dialog https://www.dialog-semiconductor.com/

    Dialog used to provide PMIC for Apple iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and iPod. Apple processor-based system always uses Dialog’s PMIC solution. But, from iPhone XS Max, seems, Apple starts to uses its own design on PMIC just as Dialog said that before. refer to https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc...

    • Beim Weitersuchen finden wir das RF Board (XS links, XS Max rechts):

    • Apple/USI 339S00551 (XS) und 338S00540 (Xs Max) Wlan/Bluetooth SoC

    • Intel PMB9955 (vermutlich XMM7560) Basisbandprozessor/Modems

    • Sorry, Qualcomm-Fans.

    • ST Microelectronics ST33G1M2 32-Bit MCU mit ARM SecurCore SC300

    • Dies ist dieselbe integrierte SIM (eSIM) die wir in der Apple Watch Series 3 und dem Google Pixel 2 XL gefunden haben.

    • NXP 100VB27 NFC Kontroller

    • Broadcom 59355A210646 Modul für kabelloses Laden

    which one is the gps chip?

    Victor Stewart - Antwort

    intel modem supports GNSS feature. It won’t have discrete GNSS chip in the iPhone XS.

    JJ Wu -

    Any idea on what the purple marked chip is? You’ve only marked it on one board as well.

    Dan - Antwort

    Why would the modems be different between the two phones?

    GromitInWA - Antwort

    GPS is integrated with modem

    bigzuo - Antwort

    At least I’m glad Apple is finally selling one model of iPhone Xs/Xs Max for all carriers in the U.S. although I would prefer they had a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 instead. The whole mess with Qualcomm chips on one model (A1865) and Intel chips on another (A1901) on the X last year was quite a childish call from Apple, IMO.

    Alan Garcia - Antwort

    Is 338S00540 (XS Max) WiFi/Bluetooth module from Murata?

    JJ Wu - Antwort

    Does iphone xs max launched in china and hong kong have embedded sim with yellow marked?

    jakhoo - Antwort

    Whats happening with those caps in the centre top?

    Dylan Bartlett - Antwort

    Am i reading this right that Skyworks has 10 CHIPS total on the above boards?? or are some of the items highlighted on the images just the back side of the board

    cogo - Antwort

    What’s a PAD?

    Ben Hurr - Antwort

    It stands for power amplifier duplexer—I updated the teardown with it spelled out.

    • Jetzt zu den Kameras! In "S"-Jahren ist oft Zeit für ein Kamera-Update und Apple hat eine Menge zu diesen neuen Sensoren zu sagen.

    • Der Weitwinkel-Sensor wurde um 32% vergrössert.

    • Auch die Größe der Pixel hat zugenommen, was für eine bessere Leistung bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen sorgt und die neue “Smart HDR” Funktion unterstützt.

    • Mit der Zeit wird sich zeigen, ob größere Pixel ausreichen, um die beeindruckende Pixel 2 Kamera vom letzten Jahr zu schlagen.

    • Ein kleines Detail zu den neuen Kameras hat Apple allerdings vergessen zu erwähnen: Diese ganzen 32% mehr müssen ja irgendwo einen Platz finden, und es stellt sich heraus, dass die Ausbuchtung für die Kamera ein bisschen größer geworden ist. Dein iPhone XS passt daher wahrscheinlich nicht in die Hülle deines iPhone X.

    • Teardown-Update: Wir haben ein wenig getestet, und die Kameramodule des XS und des XS Max scheinen identisch zu sein - das heißt, du kannst die gleiche Kamera problemlos zwischen den Modellen austauschen.

    What are the dimensions of the new vs old camera modules?

    Andrew Yang - Antwort

    And what make and type have they used please

    • Nachdem wir das Gehirn und die Augen seziert haben, werfen wir einen Blick auf die Muskeln, die diese iPhones antreiben.

    • Das XS verfügt über einen 10,13 Wh Akku (2.659 mAh bei 3,81 V und 39,5 g), was verglichen mit dem X vom letzten Jahr etwas kleiner ist.

    • Dieser Leistungsrückgang liegt an der neuen Akku-Konfiguration, die wir so noch nie gesehen haben. Anstatt zwei Akkuzellen zu nutzen, um die L-Form auszufüllen, hat Apple einen ganz neuen einzelligen Akku entwickelt.

    • Mit 12,08 Wh (3.179 mAh bei 3,80 V und 46,6 g) hat der XS Max Akku die größte Kapazität, das ist ja wenig überraschend. Dafür besteht er allerdings aus mehreren Zellen.

    • Beide liegen im Bereich der S9 und S9+ Akkus, sind aber wesentlich kleiner als der Akku des Note9.

  13. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 13, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 13, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 13, Bild 3 von 3
    • Schauen wir uns das Akku-Origami von Apple doch mal genauer an:

    • Seit 2015, als das 12" MacBook mit einem terrassenförmigen Akku angekündigt wurde, hat Apple zunehmend versucht, jedes bisschen Platz in den Gehäusen seiner Geräte mit konturierten Akkus zu nutzen.

    • Diese Patente zeigen Lösungen, die sie gefunden haben, um knifflige Probleme wie Wärmeausdehnung, die Verwendung unterschiedlicher Schichtgrößen und präzise gefaltete Elektrodenbleche, die in komplexe Formen geschnitten wurden, um in diese Konturen zu passen.

    • Interessanterweise nutzt dieser Einzelzellen-Akku den vorhandenen Platz besser aus, ist aber auch weniger leistungsfähig.

    • Die zusätzlichen Ecken und Kanten des Einzelzellen-Akkus des XS werden anfälliger für zusätzliche Belastung sein – wir sind gespannt, wie sich das im Laufe der Zeit auf den Akku auswirkt.

    The single L shape has me concerned. Especially in low degree countries where temporal heat plus use could make expansion an issue. How did they manage to reinforce the 90 degree angle so as to not break the line and cause a runaway?!?

    Maybe some crazy could dissect the battery and see what they did

    John clark - Antwort

    The radius at the internal 90 degree angle will spread out the stress. We’ll just have to wait awhile to see if that is enough.

    • Was im vergangenen Jahr noch revolutionär war, ist heute selbstverständlich. Sowohl das XS als auch das XS Max sind mit einer Sensorleiste für Apples schicke 3D Face ID ausgestattet.

    • Zeit, die Krachmacher herauszufischen! Taptic Engine und Lautsprecher lassen sich als eine Einheit entfernen, aber einfach voneinander trennen und getrennt austauschen.

    • Das XS Max verfügt über ein etwas massiveres Set an Feedback-Einheiten, aber beide Taptic Engines haben das gleiche Design wie früher.

    • Wo wir schon beim Thema sind, die Ohrhörer-Lautsprecher sind beim XS und beim XS Max fast identisch, außer dass beim Max etwas mehr Lautsprechervolumen vorhanden ist.

    Nice to have more FPC connectors.

    DouglasVinicio - Antwort

    • Ganz unten im iPhone finden wir noch ein paar schöne Display-Chips und einen ganzen Haufen winziger Kabel.

    • Anscheinend ist die Rückglas-Abdeckung immer noch mit Dutzenden winziger Schweißpunkte zwischen der Kamera-Ausbuchtung und dem Rahmen eingeklemmt.

    • Trotz all der Verbesserungen in diesem iPhone hat es immer noch die gleiche iPhone 8/ iPhone X Rückglas-Konstruktion, was heißt, dass ein winziger Riss ausreicht, um den gesamten Rahmen austauschen zu müssen.

    The flash gasket should be in the opposite way: with the cut corner leaving space for the camera frame

    serdev94 - Antwort

  16. iPhone XS und XS Max Teardown: Schritt 16, Bild 1 von 1
    • Unser Synchron-Teardown ist abgeschlossen.

    • Wir vermuten, dass dies der Beginn einer neuen Ära im iPhone Akku-Design ist. Das sorgfältig konturierte Einzelzellen-Konzept beschränkt sich im Moment noch auf das kleinere XS, aber wir gehen davon aus, dass wir es bald wiedersehen werden. Vielleicht schon beim iPhone XR?

    • Nochmals ein riesiges Dankeschön an unsere Gastgeber bei Circuitwise in Sydney und an unsere besten Freunde bei Creative Electron für ihre fantastischen Röntgenaufnahmen.

    • Oh, noch eine Sache: Jetzt wird die allgemeine Reparierbarkeit bewertet.

    And charger port!!!?

    il Gato - Antwort

  17. Fazit
    • Wichtige Display- und Akku-Reparaturen sind weiterhin eine Priorität beim iPhone-Design.
    • Ein gebrochenes Display kann ersetzt werden, ohne dass die biometrische FaceID-Hardware entfernt werden muss.
    • Die großzügige Verwendung von Schrauben ist natürlich besser als Kleber, allerdings brauchst du zusätzlich zu einem gängigen Kreuzschlitz Schraubendreher deine Apple-spezifischen Schraubendreher (Pentalobe und Tri-Point).
    • Abdichtungsmaßnahmen erschweren einige Reparaturen, dafür sind schwierige Reparaturen aufgrund von Wasserschäden weniger wahrscheinlich.
    • Glas auf der Vorder- und Rückseite verdoppelt das Risiko von Sturzschäden – und wenn du das Pech hast, dass die Rückseite bricht, musst du alle Komponenten entfernen und den gesamten Rahmen austauschen.

This phone is really similar to the X, but the battery thing is interesting.

Liam Powell - Antwort

I'm guessing they are released a little earlier in New Zealand than Australia, I'm surprised you don't go there to tear them down?

Brad Phone Screens - Antwort

They did! they where in Sydney, Australia

Dan -

But they were beaten to the punch by a Dutch company because the provider started to sell the devices 1 day too early

FD Tech -

iFixit still is the #1 on teardown - the Dutch guys were first, but no way as detailed as iFixit guys always are.

Troy Holder -

I am waiting for the iPhone XR.

[deleted] - Antwort

Why Xs and Xs Max have different types of battery?

Andrew GUO - Antwort

Slightly different phones. I’d think the two piece of the max, a larger and thus hotter display, is actually safer.

John clark -

Wonder how long it takes to charge that XS Max battery on the included 5W brick (it’s not 12/5 exactly, since it slows down towards the last 20%). Come on now Apple, it’s time to include fast chargers.

tipoo - Antwort

Considering there is three stages of charging 5w 12w and USBC brick USBC to lighting , At least the could supply the abundant 12 watt chargers. I Also always felt ripped off on this. All I could put it down to was space saving in the packaging for the short changing

iRessurect -

Considering the battery brouhaha I find it not surprising at all - after all, faster charging creates higher heat which can result in premature battery death.

vernea -

Is the display from LG or Samsung? They still using the modem from Qualcomm? Thanks

Steven Tan - Antwort

I was wondering the same thing on the display.

Zack Thompson -

The modems are intel

Dillan -

LG makes Apple screens buddy, the days of Samsung and Apple for screens been over since 2017 - as well as Apple & Qualcomm for modems - they are all at “war” - all modems are made by Intel, even though Intel modems can’t beat Qualcomm, nor LG’s screens cant beat Samsung.

Troy Holder -

I guess like last year Samsung. In the Oled segment Samsungs ycreens aren't as likely to burn in.

timi220402 -

XS displays are from Samsung, XS-Max are from LG, but they are both designed by Apple. Apple actually uses their own OLED display design and I’m not talking about the dimensions, I’m talking about the actual display technology. Apple’s just using Samsung and LG to mfg. Apple’s display designs.

mbc2302000 -

To mbc2302000,

This is incorrect.

The manufacturing process of OLEDs is extremely complicated and the underlying technology of the display comes from the manufacturer so that customers can benefit from economies of scale. This is why Apple is never specific about the technology behind the display except using the word “custom” because they are neither the designer of the technology nor the inventor; they are merely the customer and do not understand the technology (But they sure love tricking their customers into thinking they played a role in the tech’s development.

Apple just picks which display they want to buy and customize it a bit like how you would customize a pizza from dominos. None of the customizations are about the underlying technology; it’s just simple things like dimensions and color gamut.

Big Pee Pee -

The display from Samsung’s AMOLED, it is the best smart-phone display in the world before S10 at the next year, but modems are intel,beacuse the lawsuit between Apple & Qualcomm,i think.

PhDChainsmokers -

Are the XS and the X screens interchangeable? Or did apple make enough of a change to make them different?

brandon - Antwort

I am wondering the same!

Nisay Atsu -

the screens are not interchangeable b/c the size dimensions are different - 5.8” vs 6.5” screen sizes

Troy Holder -

Troy - re-read the question. Brandon said X & XS - they are both 5.8

Mark Tiddy -

I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out.

iPhone 3GS KING -

Does the new iPhones have 4x4 MIMO antennas?

DheerajR - Antwort

Yes, you can see this on the product page.

jadenkeuten -

Hmm. Sorry I was asking about the wifi antennas. The LTE sure has 4x4 antennas. But the wifi is still only 2x2!

DheerajR -

Is the new Broadcom GPS receiver with up to 30 cm precision in the iPone? This would be a very, very big deal.

mikero1 - Antwort

I think it isnt the Broadcom 47755 or iFixIt would of called it out. iFixIt team, can you please let us know what the GPS chip is. Thanks.

Carl -

intel modem supports GNSS feature. It won’t have discrete GNSS chip in the iPhone XS.

JJ Wu -

From what I can find the L5 signal is still considered pre-operational as it won't have full coverage for several years due to the delay in Block III deployment. While I was also hoping for the same chip I can understand is not being a priority if the system won't be fully deployed until the iPhone 12 or 12s at the earliest.

Brian Rossman -

I also wonder why modems are different on each board, different Intel part numbers…

PabloU - Antwort

Intel modems might be decent, definitely cheaper than Qualcomm, but they no way as fast or come near to being fast as Qualcomm ones.

Troy Holder -

is the iphone X screen compatible with XS ??

Dyaa Amer - Antwort

No. Apple NEVER lets you get away with using previous year phone parts in the current year’s phones!! HAH!

Troy Holder -

Already did, the iPhone SE uses the display of 5S

paulostool -

I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out !

iPhone 3GS KING -

you guys are cool

linuxjh - Antwort

It was stated that iPhone XS uses Micron MT53DS12 LPDDR4X SDRAM but not the amount. What was the amount?

Josh - Antwort

Pretty certain I read the XS and XS Max have 4GB, and the XR will have 3GB.

Jason Clark -

iPhone XS Max: 3,174mAh / 4GB RAM

iPhone XS: 2,658mAh / 4GB RAM iPhone X: 2,716mAh / 3GB RAM

iPhone XR: 2,942mAh / 3GB RAM iPhone 8 Plus: 2,675mAh / 3GB RAM

information found on The Verge

eric -

It wasn’t stated on the teardown when I first posted, until now. And I never take rumors to be true until I see it in a tear down.

Josh -

Can you give us the measurement of the camera sensors? Everyone is saying 32% larger but I’d love to know the specific sensor sizes. Thank you!

Aaron Schendel - Antwort

How did this score better than the Note 9?!! Is there a bit of apple bias here? Considering that iFixit is the company that complains about pentalobe, tripoint, etc, it would seem like you give apple higher scores than warranted?

Isaiah Payton - Antwort

Note9 Assembly is glued shut, and harder to open (plus the display is virtually irreplaceable) whereas on the iPhone, its a way easier process to open up the device, and replace the display

Andrew Demetriou -

^What Andrew said. It’s true pentalobes and tri-points are a bummer compared to standard screw types, but any screw is vastly preferable to glue. The two most common phone repairs are screens and batteries, and Apple’s designs make those repairs easy compared to late-model Samsungs.

Jeff Suovanen -

No USB3.0 Data Speed again. Still USB 2.0

geniusquantum - Antwort

That’s the first thing I looked for when I got my XS Max lol

iliketurtuls -

Does the iPhone X screen fit the Xs ?

iPhone 3GS KING - Antwort

I did the work my self (sorta) Please test out to confirm this.

I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out.

iPhone 3GS KING -

Seems to be a lot more room for a headphone jack….

Scott Wilkins - Antwort

Ya I thought there would be one of you guys here. You realize no ones changing there mind even if you don’t buy there phone in protest, Right? Millions other will just buy it, cause they don’t give a crap about moving away from the past as you so pathetically continue to hold onto.

So keep complaining little one it means nothing to anyone, but it is funny for those self aware enough to laugh at your stupidity. In thinking anyone would change because your pathetic ass told them too. You won’t ever have that power but keep trying, it makes for an adorable scene thats for sure.

Just thinking about the Display of Max is it get-able

I Fix - Antwort

You mean if iFixit will be able to sell replacements likely yes but since its the OLED variant it will take time for them to get quality replacements out. Just be patient and don’t break your XS series phone that quick. lol

Are there any differences in the FaceID Sensors compared with the X? Still a STM ToF sensor and TI Flood Illuminator?

Eric Anderson - Antwort

Same thing I was wondering, from this tear down it seems like there is no Flood Illuminator. @ValinV

David Poh -

The flood illuminator is mounted to the display, same as on iPhone X. It’s on the same flex as the ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and earpiece speaker.

M12 Motion Co processor? It seems like Apple forgot about this chip this year.

iliketurtuls - Antwort

It is integrated inside of the A12 SoC.

Want to know if the iPhone X battery can be used on XS?

Is they the battery interface is universal?

In fact, the 6S and 7 batteries are universal, of course, 6SP and 7P are also like this.

lauwing - Antwort

No, otherwise XS would have come equipped with X battery.

Aitor -

Can someone please post what the BOM cost is or Bare materials cost. For both models of course we had it for them last year but no one seems to be talking about it hear or anywhere. So ya that info would be much appreciated

thanks

Charging coil is now made of copper for efficiency and shorter charging times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdMV7c0e...

Why didn’t iFixit include this?

Simon - Antwort

Hello friend, many times the guides of iFixit shows the most acecible and primordial of the team in the disarmament guides, without detracting from the contributions of the users which are very important for the iFixit community of repair, we appreciate your very important contribution Thank you very much for your feedback.

Thanks you all for your work.

I have just a comment : the stereo tracks seems to be reversed on Youtube videos with 2 girls on “iPhone XS Max Teardown LIVE with BEER!”

It was rumoured that the 512GB iPhones will have more RAM than the lower versions. Is this true?

Nothing about the new wireless charging coil changes?

Can iPhone Xs rear camera fit on the X? Assuming we also change the camera glass bump.?

Tushar Doultani - Antwort

Anyone able to confirm if displays can be swapped with any loss of functionality? IE Face ID breaking or loss of ALS?

Jeff Caauwe - Antwort

Have you guys given up answering questions? Usually you’re quick to respond! Does the FaceID/TrueDepth look to be the same as in the X? TechInsights is claiming that there are new components, but the pictures don’t necessarily justify that…

Eric Anderson - Antwort

@nostrathomas We didn’t tear down the individual Face ID components (nor did we on last year’s model), so we can only speculate. There certainly don’t look to have been any major changes. I would guess the increased speed is mainly thanks to the A12/neural engine rather than changes to the Face ID hardware itself.

Jeff Suovanen -

Hi you all. As i dont find any hint about this.

Step 7 Logic Board 1. Picture: What the hack happened Kondensators on the right site? Was it like this when you got it? As you clearly see there are huge soldering issues. Usually i exspect this failures when design is not optimized for SMD Oven. But i hope that 1. ppl on ifixit had to apply a lot of heat (up to 270°) or 2. this Iphone was not working before and therefore was taken for a teardown?

Would love to get some clarification on that. Thanks !

Jan Blatt - Antwort

Hi Jan! That bit of carnage was our fault, and not a manufacturing issue. We’re a small team trying to get a lot done in a very compressed timeframe, and sometimes we slip up! Nothing to worry about, just got clumsy separating the board layers. We have a better procedure in place so that shouldn’t happen next time. Thanks for keeping a sharp eye!

What was the final Beer Time!?!

gabe retto - Antwort

Can you teardown XS and XS Max battery(pcb part only) too ? I really wonder how apple handles dual cell battery pack. As far as i know dual cell will have dual resistance profile so you cant handle it with single Fuel Gauge. According to XRay there seems 3 wlcsp chips. So maybe 2 piece fuel gauge and 1 controller to merge cell states (voltage , remaining capacity etc.) to single I2C or HDQ line. I really wonder this

Uğur KIRÇIL - Antwort

Curious about the size of the depth sensor & camera assembly. Slim enough to fit into a macbookpro screen as frontfacing?

If so, I wonder why they kept it out of the new airs.

Anyone know where the Apple Pay Chipset is located at?

Mark Crystal - Antwort

Is there anyway I can convert my iPhone XS to an iPhone XS Max. I am thinking about purchasing a cloud locked iPhone XS Max if I’m able to input the necessary XS hardware into the XS Max. What hardware would I need to take out of my XS if this does work? Can’t find information on this anywhere.

Viet Le - Antwort

Can you repair the front screen and the back glass?

welshdude_140 - Antwort

Ok what are the screw driver sizes needed for the XR cause the ones I bought that came with the screen from you guys is the wrong one an I can not for the life if me find what size is actually needed please help

p_picinotti - Antwort

Hello! If you think you got the wrong screwdriver size from us, please contact our customer support and we will get it sorted for you! To work on the XR, you will need a Pentalobe P2, Tri-point Y000, and Phillips #000. You can find all of our iPhone XR guides here.

Any chance someone can tell me whether the X and XS nfc antenna with the flex cable are interchangeable? The connector looks identical to me on both so hoping they are the same.

Thanks.

Ron - Antwort

Were you guys able to figure out the vibration frequency (Hz) of the taptic engine? Looking for this info everywhere but I can’t find it.

If xs turn into iphone xs max, will it work?

Jyvalleycsa Joling - Antwort

Where is the proper teardown instructions? The details of bolts and how to remove each modules? Why has it become so simplistic and entertainment-centric, what it once used to be a great resource for repairs? Am I the only one feeling that the teardowns have become dumbed down?

These are not “steps” as they do not contain any valid instructions, it’s misleading. Should be named “tour of iPhone components” instead.

Regesys - Antwort

Hi! You're right—iFixit teardowns are educational first-looks into a device, so in a way it is a "tour of the iPhone components". For actual details on how to remove and replace components, you should look to our guides instead!
