Apple's first new mobile phone, the iPhone Air, has attracted widespread attention since its release. In addition to its excellent performance in the bending resistance test, everyone is also very curious about its internal structure. Recently, iFixit, a professional disassembly agency, disassembled the iPhone Air and discovered two important and surprising things.
First of all, the iPhone Air is very easy to disassemble and repair, and it has received high ratings from iFixit. Although it still uses unusual pentalobe screws, and the display and back panel glass are also fixed with adhesive, these practices have been routine in previous generations of iPhones and are no stranger to repair personnel.
It is worth noting that thanks to the streamlined design of the fuselage, the number of internal components of iPhone Air has been significantly reduced, and most parts are easier to disassemble than before. In fact, the only thing that's troublesome is the glass panel that's glued on, and the rest of the parts come apart easily like building blocks.
What’s even more interesting is that the battery used by the iPhone Air is exactly the same as the MagSafe battery accessory launched by Apple at the same time. Not only is the model the same, it can even be directly replaced. YouTube channel Phone Repair Guru confirmed that you only need to remove the $99 MagSafe battery and install it into the iPhone Air. When the phone battery ages, it can be easily replaced, and there is no need to purchase an original battery. As long as the accessories are still on sale and the user has certain hands-on skills, this method will become an affordable but slightly wasteful alternative.
To sum up, iPhone Air is also full of innovation and ingenuity in its internal structure. More detailed reviews in the future are worth looking forward to.
