As we all know, the teardown of new iPhone models is always carried out first by overseas enthusiasts, and the teardown process usually appears on foreign websites, especially the well-known iFixit. However, Chinese enthusiasts are now working faster and have already completed teardowns of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 series. They have now even torn down the iPhone X, which is expected to be officially released today.
Now, a teardown video of the iPhone X from China has been circulating on the Internet. The teardown video lasts only 10 seconds and provides an overview of the phone’s internal components after removing the front plate, revealing many details of its internal design. In addition, a Chinese user has also posted several clearer pictures and provided a detailed analysis of these features.
As we can see, the layout of its internal components is very similar to that of the previous generation iPhone. However, there are some notable changes: it adopts a dual-battery design (with a total capacity of 2716mAh), which not only extends battery life but also frees up space for the OLED touchscreen. At the same time, the PCB motherboard area has been reduced to about half the size of the iPhone 8 Plus. In this way, more space can be left for other components. This is also why the battery has an L-shaped design. The reduced-size motherboard has a very high level of integration, with densely arranged capacitors and other components.
There is also a lot of foam rubber around the frame. The iPhone X uses far more foam rubber than the iPhone 8 Plus. This means the iPhone X has better water resistance performance than the iPhone 8 Plus.
