In a brand new viral video, the YouTube channel PBKreviews takes aside and reassembles an iPhone 15 Professional – sadly, that’s not the iPhone 15 Professional Max variant. It will’ve been extraordinarily attention-grabbing to see the brand-new periscope digicam that offers the 15 Professional Max very good 5x zoom capabilities (the regular-sized 15 Professional will get 3x zoom).
On the Wonderlust September 12 occasion, Apple highlighted the truth that the chassis design on the 15 Professional and 15 Professional Max is altered, giving the system the choice for a better restore with a again glass that’s to be “simply changed” (by way of 9to5Mac).
The ten-minute video is a typical teardown that begins with the display screen removing, cable detachments after which proceeds on to disassembling the remainder of the insides – earpiece, digicam setup, battery (the reviewer confirms it’s barely stronger at 3,274 mAh in comparison with the one within the iPhone 14 Professional which affords 3,200 mAh), varied sensors and motors.
Right here’s the entire video:
General, the reviewer offers the iPhone 15 Professional a 7/10 repairability rating, which is 2 factors increased than that of the Huawei Mate 60 Professional. The system that obtained US officers bewildered obtained 5/10 due to the display screen – it was brutally glued and separating it from the chassis simply led to irreparable damages.
7/10 is an total good rating for the iPhone 15 Professional, however that’s nearly double what iFixit now offers iPhones. In a prolonged weblog publish, they reveal why they’ve retroactively dropped the iPhone’s Repairability Rating from a “suggest 7/10” to a “do-not-recommend 4/10”.
General, they’re sad with the way in which Apple has determined to conduct issues – sure, it’s now technically simpler for newer iPhones to be self-repaired by a simplified inside design, however there are software program limitations on repairs. One wants what iFixit calls “a software program handshake” via Apple’s System Configuration device. It contacts Apple’s servers to “authenticate” the restore, then “pairs” the brand new half to your system so it really works as anticipated.
Defenders of that call level out that’s how one can make sure that he/she’s getting real Apple elements and that scamming threats are minimized.
