Repair site iFixit is back at it again, this time conducting a video teardown of Apple’s latest offering, the iPhone 15. This comes after their previous teardown of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. In their latest video, iFixit takes a closer look at the inner workings of the new iPhone, examining various components under a microscope.
The microscopic examination provides a detailed view of the iPhone’s casing, adhesive, and display. With the help of the microscope, iFixit reveals individual pixels and offers zoomed-in views of key components like the battery connector and magnets inside the Taptic Engine. This gives us a rare glimpse into the intricate technology that powers these devices.
In terms of design, the iPhone 15 bears a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the iPhone 14. However, there is one noticeable difference – the camera. The iPhone 15 boasts a larger 48-megapixel camera, an upgrade from its predecessor. But iFixit has confirmed that not all cameras are created equal. While the iPhone 15’s camera is impressive, it falls short of the performance offered by the camera in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The difference lies in the quad pixel “buckets” of the iPhone 15’s camera, which are approximately 22 percent smaller than those found in the Pro Max model. This difference impacts the camera’s performance in low-light conditions, producing slightly inferior results compared to its Pro Max counterpart.
Although the iPhone 15 teardown does not uncover any groundbreaking new information, it is still an intriguing look at the inner workings of Apple’s latest device. For tech enthusiasts and Apple fans alike, iFixit’s video provides an interesting and detailed examination of the various components that make up the iPhone 15.
