iFixit disassembles Apple’s new “flagship” to confirm that its repairability is too complicated (4 out of 10), plus the titanium should be taken care of a little more.
There is no getting away from it every time Manzana It presents us with a new generation of iPhones, which the entire industry wants to touch and analyze in depth, so it also makes sense to go More and more tests and tests appear with the latest mobile phones Main From Applewhich has already moved from battery labs to early resistance tests with very poor results, including the most famous tests conducted by Zack Nelson on the JerryRigEverything channel.
Today we have another step, which is to be friends iFixitAnd experts in repairs, too, by the way partners From most manufacturers When components, materials, and self-repair manuals for devices are made available to users, They took apart the iPhone 15 Pro Max to analyze and evaluate its repairability With very few surprises.
In fact, it is so Apple bragged during Keyword It is their social responsibilitywhich is something all manufacturers do, but in your case The iPhone 15 hasn’t improved much in terms of repairability It failed irreparably again in iFixit’s reliable tests, this year 4 points out of 10 For all models:
Excitement about whether it can be repaired…and yes, watch out with titanium!
Well, the first thing to point out regarding the analysis conducted by iFixit is actually that Apple has tweaked some negative details of the iPhone 14 build To try to improve the repair options for their new mobile phones outside the official service centers. Not in vain, they did it Remove some stickers And it was created Independent background Which makes it easy to extract.
The interior design is very similar to the one we already knewwith the “L” shaped battery that takes advantage of the maximum possible space but leaves New features like USB Type C In place of the connector Lightning. Moreover, if Details such as screws have been improvedwhich is thicker and more resistant in 2023.
However, there are still very negative aspects, since then iFixit stresses that screen replacement is still very complicatedHe explained to us that to do this, the glue that softens in a specific oven must be removed, and it must be cleaned well and put back again when installing the new screen.
Moreover, experts already confirm this Titanium is not a perfect materialSince the structure is definitely more resistant and lighter than the previous one In fact, it is susceptible to external marks, scratches and gouges. Due to the very nature of titanium, which in the face of these kind of small imperfections is actually not as good a material as one might expect.
Apple has improved some points like the back cover which improves the repairability of the device, but its screen is still quite complicated to replace and the titanium body is somewhat more sensitive in terms of marks and scratches.
We repeat to avoid speculation, Titanium is very light and is generally a super-resistant materialIn fact, it is a very high quality material Yes it can be flagged more easily In certain cases in relation to steel.
So, although Apple has improved some aspects like the back cover, iFixit continues to recommend fixes in official centers so that the result does not exceed failure Another year for the iPhone 15.. It’s not like this is a surprise, is it?
