The repair professionals from iFixit have not missed it this time either and the new iPhone 12 Pro Max subjected to a teardown. One of the special features of Apple’s new flagship is the L-shaped battery. This has a total of 14, 13 Wh. Since the Californian manufacturer attaches particular importance to the smartphone camera with its Pro version, it is not surprising that the Pro Max uses a large sensor in the wide-angle camera. Compared to the iPhone 12 this is around 47% has been enlarged. This also applies to the Pro version.

The experts also praised Apple in their current teardown. In the case of the new iPhone, for example, the company uses a rubber seal for the speakers instead of adhesive. As a result, these can be replaced much more easily in the event of damage. It is also positively mentioned that Apple has succeeded in accommodating the 5G technology in the smartphone in question without compromising other components. Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro Max was able to claim six out of ten points . The same number of points was previously achieved by the iPhone 11 in the iFixit teardown .

On the other hand, there were a few unusual screws that make repairs more complicated. However, according to the experts, screw connections would be much better than glued components. The glass back cover makes the new iPhone even more susceptible to falls. Once the glass is broken, the entire case must be replaced. Which of course is much more complex than simply replacing the display.
