As we all know, the teardown of new iPhone models is always first carried out by overseas enthusiasts, and the teardown process usually appears first on foreign websites, especially the well-known iFixit. However, now Chinese enthusiasts are becoming faster and have already completed the 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 on 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 the phone’s 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, he 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 the reason for the L-shaped battery 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 iPhone X has better water resistance performance than iPhone 8 Plus.
