iFixit Provides Microscopic Look Inside Apple’s iPhone 15
Repair site iFixit recently shared a video teardown of Apple’s latest iPhone 15 Pro Max, and now they’re back with a deeper look inside the standard iPhone 15. Unlike their previous teardown, which focused on the overall components of the device, this teardown includes an examination of many of the components under a microscope, providing a view of the iPhone 15 that we don’t typically get.
Using a microscope, iFixit is able to provide a closer look at the iPhone’s casing, adhesive, and display, even showing off individual pixels. They also zoom in on various components, from the battery connector to the magnets inside the Taptic Engine. This microscopic journey gives us a detailed look at the inner workings of the iPhone 15.
When compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 14, the iPhone 15 is remarkably similar in design. However, there is one significant difference: a larger 48-megapixel camera. iFixit confirms that this camera is not the same as the one in the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The quad-pixel “buckets” in the iPhone 15’s camera are approximately 22 percent smaller, which means that it may not perform as well in low-lighting conditions compared to the camera in the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
While iFixit’s iPhone 15 teardown doesn’t reveal any groundbreaking information, it offers readers a fun and detailed look at multiple components of the device. This microscopic journey provides tech enthusiasts with a better understanding of the inner workings of Apple’s latest smartphone.
In other news, Apple has released iOS 17.0.3, which includes a fix for iPhone 15 Pro overheating issues. The update comes a week after the launch of iOS 17.0.2. Users can download the update over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Additionally, Apple has released iPadOS 17.0.3 for iPad users.
Apple is also preparing for the release of iOS 17.1, with the second beta available to developers. This update refines some of the new features introduced in iOS 17.0 and the initial iOS 17.1 beta.
Rumors suggest that Apple may launch a new Mac model this month, as indicated by changes to the Mac trade-in program. Similar changes in the past have coincided with product launches. Additionally, the original Apple Watch models released in 2015 have been added to Apple’s obsolete products list, meaning they are no longer eligible for repairs or service at Apple Stores and authorized service providers.
Lastly, U.S. iPhone users will receive an emergency test alert from FEMA and the FCC today. The Wireless Emergency Alert test will send out text messages to cell phones across the United States.
Overall, these recent developments offer insights into Apple’s product releases, software updates, and industry practices. Tech enthusiasts can stay informed and satisfy their curiosity with iFixit’s microscopic journey and the latest news from Apple.
