    • Dopo il suo completo rifacimento l'anno scorso, il nuovo iPhone ha un aspetto molto familiare: sembra che per il momento siamo tornati a un ciclo di aggiornamenti a orologeria. Ecco quello che sappiamo:

    • SoC esa-core A12 Bionic con Motore Neurale "di nuova generazione"

    • Schermi OLED Super Retina da 5,8" (2436 × 1125) e 6,5" (2688 × 1242) con 458 ppi, True Tone, ampio gamut colore e Touch 3D

    • Fotocamere posteriori da 12 MP (grandangolo e teleobiettivo) con apertura rispettiva di ƒ/1.8 e ƒ/2.4 e OIS (stabilizzazione ottica) e fotocamera da selfie da 7 MP che integra l'hardware TrueDepth FaceID

    • 64 GB di memorizzazione interna (optional configurazioni da 256 e 512 GB)

    • LTE classe Gigabit (non 5G) oltre a Wi-Fi con MIMO 802.11a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth 5.0 + NFC

    • Resistenza ad acqua e polvere migliorata con classificazione IP68

    Is the screen made by Samsung or LG

    You people wrongly understood the ip rating , 2 metres in a narrow tube can’t make a commendable pressure to break through the ingress protection. Same will not withstand in a higher volume tank or pond where the pressure is relatively higher than this thinner tube

    I have this phone and forgot it was on my patio table when I lightly hosed it off, it barely got wet and there was no water under the cover but then bright green lines appeared on the screen from top to bottom, it shut itself off and won’t turn back on. Used blow dryer lightly, left it in rice, tried to force restart but phone does not respond to anything, its completely dead. On youtube it’s submerged in water and they get it to work. Mine barely got wet and it’s dead.

    • Non siamo gente che giudica un libro dalla sua copertina in Gorilla Glass, ma queste cover non fanno pensare a grandi cambiamenti dai tempi dell'ultimo X che abbiamo visto su questa tavola.

    • ...oltre al color oro trasudante lusso e alla nuova dimensione XL.

    • Grazie al cielo, Creative Electron ci dà un'anteprima degli intrecci nella trama che stiamo per affrontare. (La loro attrezzatura high-tech usa ancora i raggi X, che si pronuncia ancora "ics").

    • Ed ecco i nostri ics dieci allineati insieme.

    • Notiamo una banda di antenna supplementare che si è spostata dove abitavano alcuni fori di sinistra del microfono. Le voci dicono trattarsi di "LTE Gigabit", caratteristica che sembra fare la differenza.

    • I nostri tecnici di smontaggio si sdoppiano, dimostrando, mentre inizia lo smontaggio, eccellenti capacità di doppio svitamento.

    • Non illustrata: la mano destra supplementare del nostro tecnico.

    • Se è vero che Apple ha cambiato il proprio schema di nomi, apprezziamo il fatto che abbia lasciato com'era la procedura di apertura.

    • Una doppia azione del nostro iOpener ammorbidisce l'adesivo nascosto, quindi una ventosa e uno spudger halberd arrivano per liberare il display.

    • Temevamo che Apple avesse riversato ulteriore adesivo per raggiungere lo standard di impermeabilizzazione IP68, ma non abbiamo avuto maggiore difficoltà nell'aprire questi telefoni di quelle avute con i predecessori IP67.

    • Per questo smontaggio 2-in-1 ci serve una mano, quindi tiriamo in ballo della manodopera locale.

    • Si scopre che la mancanza di pollici opponibili rallenta un po' le cose, ma i nostri cacciavite rendono le cose così facili che perfino un canguro potrebbe farlo.

    • Con il display fuori dai piedi, iniziamo a notare qualche differenza tra l'XS e l'XS Max.

    • Il Taptic Engine all'interno dell'XS Max è stato ridimensionato: telefono grande, vibrazioni grandi?

    • L'XS Max ha anche una scheda logica estesa, con uno dei connettori del display spostato in basso.

    • La batteria dell'XS appare bizzarra (e nuova), mentre quella dell'XS Max si attiene a uno stile a noi familiare.

    • Nella nostra caccia alle tracce di barriere antiintrusione migliorate, rivolgiamo la nostra attenzione alla cavità più grande non sigillata del dispositivo: il vassoio della scheda SIM.

    • Benché le guarnizioni (le parti importanti) abbiano una forma leggermente diversa, in seguito a un'ispezione più approfondita si rivelano notevolmente invariate rispetto a quanto visto l'anno scorso. Detto questo, se fossimo in Cina la narrazione delle SIM avrebbe tutta un'altra faccia.

    • Archiviata la parte alta dei dispositivi, possiamo finalmente rivolgere l'attenzione alla parte più importante di ogni iPhone serie S: la scheda logica!

    Will a locked US phone be able to use a sim or an esim from a second (non-US) carrier?

    Charles Krueger - Replica

    From Apple support:

    To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Otherwise, both plans must be from the same carrier. If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM won't support CDMA. Contact your carrier for more information.

    Charles Krueger - Replica

    Does the sim slot on the board have contacts on both sides that would support the dual tray if it could fit through the housing?

    • Dato che abbiamo già visto una volta questo tipo di scheda logica, ci troviamo decisamente a nostro agio nell'aprire questo sandwich di schede stampate. Vediamo che cosa c'è sul livello superiore (XS a sinistra, XS Max a destra):

    • 64 GB di memoria flash Toshiba TSB3243V85691CHNA1

    • Codec audio Apple 338S00248 (probabilmente di origine Cirrus Logic)

    • IC alimentazione USB Cypress CPD2

    • Soc Apple APL1W81 A12 Bionic stratificato sopra a 4 GB di SDRAM LPDDR4X Micron MT53D512M64D4SB-046

    • IC gestione alimentazione (probabilmente per il Face ID) STMicroelectronics STB601A0

    • Tre amplificatori audio Apple 338S00411, due per la riproduzione stereo e uno per le funzionalità aptiche

    • IC gestione alimentazione Apple 338S00383-A0 (probabilmente di origine Dialog Systems)

    • IC gestione alimentazione Apple 338S00456

    • IC gestione alimentazione sistema Apple 338S00375 (probabilmente di origine Dialog Systems)

    • Caricabatterie TI SN2600B1

    Any ideas how the dual SIM support (physical SIM’s) will work for the China only model? In the presentation Phil stated the two SIM’s would be held in the carrier back to back.

    For all the other’s I assume the eSIM would have the ability to support two SIM codes on the Xs. And on the Xs Max one physical and one eSIM is that correct?

    • Andando un po' più in profondità, troviamo la scheda RF (XS a sinistra, XS Max a destra):

    • SoC Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Apple/USI 339S00551 (XS) e 338S00540 (XS Max)

    • Processore baseband/modem Intel PMB9955 (probabilmente XMM7560)

    • Spiacenti, tifosi di Qualcomm.

    • MCU 32 bit ST Microelectronics ST33G1M2 con ARM SecurCore SC300

    • È tempo di parlare di fotocamere! Lo S-year, il tipico anno senza grandi novità degli iPhone, arriva con l'aggiornamento della fotocamera e Apple ha molto da dire su questi nuovi sensori.

    • La dimensione del sensore dietro l'ottica grandangolare è cresciuta del 32%.

    • Anche la misura dei pixel è cresciuta, il che comporta migliori prestazioni con poca luce e contribuisce alla nuova funzionalità "Smart HDR".

    • Solo il tempo dirà se i pixel più grandi possono aiutare a battere la fotocamera del Pixel 2 dell'anno scorso.

    • C'è una cosa sulla nuova fotocamera che Apple ha dimenticato di citare: tutto quel 32% deve andare da qualche parte e, infatti, si scopre che la sporgenza della fotocamera è cresciuta di qualche cosa: il tuo case protettivo per iPhone X potrebbe non adattarsi al tuo iPhone XS.

    • Aggiornamento smontaggio: abbiamo fatto alcuni test e i moduli fotocamera di XS e XS Max sembrano identici. Il che significa che non ci sono problemi a scambiarli da un modello all'altro.

    What are the dimensions of the new vs old camera modules?

    • Dopo aver sezionato i cervelli e gli occhi, diamo un'occhiata ai muscoli che danno energia a questi telefoni.

    • L'XS integra una batteria da 10,13 Wh (2.659 mAh per 3,81 V), che pesa 39,5 g: una lieve contrazione energetica rispetto all'X dell'anno scorso.

    • Questo calo di capacità, però, è accompagnato da una nuova e alternativa configurazione della batteria. Invece di usare due celle per riempire questo vano a forma di L, Apple ha realizzato una batteria tutta nuova a cella singola.

    • Non sorprende che la batteria dell'XS Max sia al top tra le due, con i suoi 12,08 Wh (3.179 mAh a 3,80 V) e peso di 46.6 g. Ma qui non si parla di una cella singola!

    • Entrambe le batterie sono più o meno all'altezza di quelle dell'S9 e dell'S9+, ma sono decisamente più piccole di quelle del Note9.

    • Tuffiamoci in profondità nella storia della batteria/origami di Apple:

    • Dal 2015, con il lancio del MacBook da 12" con una batteria con celle a schiera, Apple ha cercato sempre di più, usando batterie di forma particolare, di sfruttare ogni piccolo spazio nello chassis dei propri dispositivi.

    • Questi brevetti illustrano le soluzioni trovate da Apple per far fronte a problemi rognosi come la dispersione termica, l'uso di strati dimensionalmente differenti e lamine di elettrodi ripiegati e tagliati in forme complesse per assecondare queste forme.

    • Ciò che è interessante è che questa singola cella sfrutta meglio lo spazio, ma ha meno energia al suo interno.

    • Gli angoli e i bordi supplementari della batteria a cella singola dell'XS predispongono a un maggiore stress: sarà interessante vedere come si comporta questa nuova batteria con l'invecchiamento.

    The single L shape has me concerned. Especially in low degree countries where temporal heat plus use could make expansion an issue. How did they manage to reinforce the 90 degree angle so as to not break the line and cause a runaway?!?

    Maybe some crazy could dissect the battery and see what they did

    John clark - Replica

    The radius at the internal 90 degree angle will spread out the stress. We’ll just have to wait awhile to see if that is enough.

    • Quello che l'anno scorso era rivoluzionario sta rapidamente diventando una dotazione normale: sia l'XS sia l'XS Max sono equipaggiati con una griglia di sensori per la sofisticata tecnologia Face ID di Apple.

    • È ora di ripescare gli elementi più casinisti! Il Taptic Engine e l'altoparlante se ne vengono fuori in un solo gruppo, ma si separano facilmente e consentono così una sostituzione modulare.

    • L'XS Max si caratterizza per un set leggermente più grande di unità di feedback, ma entrambi i Taptic Engine seguono lo stesso schema di una volta.

    • Parlando di uguaglianza, i gruppi dell'altoparlante voce sono quasi identici nell'XS e XS Max, con l'ultimo che presenta un filo più di volume nell'altoparlante.

    Nice to have more FPC connectors.

    • Quando ormai raschiamo il fondo del telefono, troviamo interessanti chip del display e un barile di piccoli cavi.

    • Sembra che il vetro posteriore sia ancora all'interno di un sandwich tra la sporgenza della fotocamera e il telaio, con dozzine di piccole saldature.

    • Al di là delle molte migliorie che ha ricevuto, questo telefono adotta la stessa costruzione col vetro posteriore dell'iPhone 8/iPhone X, il che significa che basta una piccola crepa per dover sostituire l'intero chassis.

  16. Smontaggio iPhone XS e XS Max: passo 16, immagine 1 di 1
    • Il nostro smontaggio sincronizzato bi-telefono giunge a un'ordinata fine.

    • Sospettiamo che questo sia solo l'inizio di una nuova era nel progetto delle batterie degli iPhone; per ora solo nel più piccolo XS troviamo il concetto di una cella singola di forma particolare, ma ci aspettiamo di vedere di nuovo qualcosa del genere molto presto. Forse nell'iPhone XR?

    • Di nuovo, un grande ringraziamento va ai nostri gentili anfitrioni di Circuitwise a Sydney, in Australia, e ai nostri eccellenti compari di Creative Electron per le loro fantastiche immagini ai raggi X.

    • Oh, c'è un'altra cosa: è ora di assegnare un punteggio di riparabilità complessivo.

    And charger port!!!?

    il Gato - Replica

  17. Considerazioni Finali
    • Le riparazioni più critiche, quelle dello schermo e della batteria, rimangono una priorità nella progettazione dell'iPhone.
    • Si può sostituire uno schermo rotto senza rimuovere l'hardware biometrico Face ID.
    • Le viti assortite sono preferibili alla colla ma servono cacciavite appositi per Apple (Pentalobe e tri-wing) oltre a uno a croce Phillips standard.
    • Le soluzioni per l'impermeabilizzazione complicano alcune riparazioni, ma rendono meno probabile dover intervenire per danni da liquidi.
    • L'uso di vetro davanti e dietro raddoppia la possibilità di danni da cadute; inoltre se si rompe il vetro posteriore, si devono rimuovere tutti i componenti e sostituire l'intero chassis.

This phone is really similar to the X, but the battery thing is interesting.

Liam Powell - Replica

I'm guessing they are released a little earlier in New Zealand than Australia, I'm surprised you don't go there to tear them down?

Brad Phone Screens - Replica

They did! they where in Sydney, Australia

Dan -

But they were beaten to the punch by a Dutch company because the provider started to sell the devices 1 day too early

FD Tech -

iFixit still is the #1 on teardown - the Dutch guys were first, but no way as detailed as iFixit guys always are.

Troy Holder -

I am waiting for the iPhone XR.

Why Xs and Xs Max have different types of battery?

Andrew GUO - Replica

Slightly different phones. I’d think the two piece of the max, a larger and thus hotter display, is actually safer.

John clark -

Wonder how long it takes to charge that XS Max battery on the included 5W brick (it’s not 12/5 exactly, since it slows down towards the last 20%). Come on now Apple, it’s time to include fast chargers.

tipoo - Replica

Considering there is three stages of charging 5w 12w and USBC brick USBC to lighting , At least the could supply the abundant 12 watt chargers. I Also always felt ripped off on this. All I could put it down to was space saving in the packaging for the short changing

iRessurect -

Considering the battery brouhaha I find it not surprising at all - after all, faster charging creates higher heat which can result in premature battery death.

vernea -

Is the display from LG or Samsung? They still using the modem from Qualcomm? Thanks

Steven Tan - Replica

I was wondering the same thing on the display.

Zack Thompson -

The modems are intel

Dillan -

LG makes Apple screens buddy, the days of Samsung and Apple for screens been over since 2017 - as well as Apple & Qualcomm for modems - they are all at “war” - all modems are made by Intel, even though Intel modems can’t beat Qualcomm, nor LG’s screens cant beat Samsung.

Troy Holder -

I guess like last year Samsung. In the Oled segment Samsungs ycreens aren't as likely to burn in.

timi220402 -

XS displays are from Samsung, XS-Max are from LG, but they are both designed by Apple. Apple actually uses their own OLED display design and I’m not talking about the dimensions, I’m talking about the actual display technology. Apple’s just using Samsung and LG to mfg. Apple’s display designs.

mbc2302000 -

To mbc2302000,

This is incorrect.

The manufacturing process of OLEDs is extremely complicated and the underlying technology of the display comes from the manufacturer so that customers can benefit from economies of scale. This is why Apple is never specific about the technology behind the display except using the word “custom” because they are neither the designer of the technology nor the inventor; they are merely the customer and do not understand the technology (But they sure love tricking their customers into thinking they played a role in the tech’s development.

Apple just picks which display they want to buy and customize it a bit like how you would customize a pizza from dominos. None of the customizations are about the underlying technology; it’s just simple things like dimensions and color gamut.

Big Pee Pee -

The display from Samsung’s AMOLED, it is the best smart-phone display in the world before S10 at the next year, but modems are intel,beacuse the lawsuit between Apple & Qualcomm,i think.

PhDChainsmokers -

Are the XS and the X screens interchangeable? Or did apple make enough of a change to make them different?

brandon - Replica

I am wondering the same!

Nisay Atsu -

the screens are not interchangeable b/c the size dimensions are different - 5.8” vs 6.5” screen sizes

Troy Holder -

Troy - re-read the question. Brandon said X & XS - they are both 5.8

Mark Tiddy -

I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out.

iPhone 3GS KING -

Does the new iPhones have 4x4 MIMO antennas?

DheerajR - Replica

Yes, you can see this on the product page.

jadenkeuten -

Hmm. Sorry I was asking about the wifi antennas. The LTE sure has 4x4 antennas. But the wifi is still only 2x2!

DheerajR -

Is the new Broadcom GPS receiver with up to 30 cm precision in the iPone? This would be a very, very big deal.

mikero1 - Replica

I think it isnt the Broadcom 47755 or iFixIt would of called it out. iFixIt team, can you please let us know what the GPS chip is. Thanks.

Carl -

intel modem supports GNSS feature. It won’t have discrete GNSS chip in the iPhone XS.

JJ Wu -

From what I can find the L5 signal is still considered pre-operational as it won't have full coverage for several years due to the delay in Block III deployment. While I was also hoping for the same chip I can understand is not being a priority if the system won't be fully deployed until the iPhone 12 or 12s at the earliest.

Brian Rossman -

I also wonder why modems are different on each board, different Intel part numbers…

PabloU - Replica

Intel modems might be decent, definitely cheaper than Qualcomm, but they no way as fast or come near to being fast as Qualcomm ones.

Troy Holder -

is the iphone X screen compatible with XS ??

Dyaa Amer - Replica

No. Apple NEVER lets you get away with using previous year phone parts in the current year’s phones!! HAH!

Troy Holder -

Already did, the iPhone SE uses the display of 5S

It wasn’t stated on the teardown when I first posted, until now. And I never take rumors to be true until I see it in a tear down.

How did this score better than the Note 9?!! Is there a bit of apple bias here? Considering that iFixit is the company that complains about pentalobe, tripoint, etc, it would seem like you give apple higher scores than warranted?

Isaiah Payton - Replica

Note9 Assembly is glued shut, and harder to open (plus the display is virtually irreplaceable) whereas on the iPhone, its a way easier process to open up the device, and replace the display

Andrew Demetriou -

^What Andrew said. It’s true pentalobes and tri-points are a bummer compared to standard screw types, but any screw is vastly preferable to glue. The two most common phone repairs are screens and batteries, and Apple’s designs make those repairs easy compared to late-model Samsungs.

Does the iPhone X screen fit the Xs ?

iPhone 3GS KING - Replica

I did the work my self (sorta) Please test out to confirm this.

I believe they are as I counted the number of pins for the display Connectors. They both match up evenly. The OLED connector has 17 pins and the Digitizer Connector has 14 pins on both phones (X and Xs) .Ovousally the X and XS Max wont work because of size differences, but the X and Xs should work. The only reason these screens wont work together is if apple put some software implication to stop users from switching the screens out.

iPhone 3GS KING -

Seems to be a lot more room for a headphone jack….

Ya I thought there would be one of you guys here. You realize no ones changing there mind even if you don’t buy there phone in protest, Right? Millions other will just buy it, cause they don’t give a crap about moving away from the past as you so pathetically continue to hold onto.

So keep complaining little one it means nothing to anyone, but it is funny for those self aware enough to laugh at your stupidity. In thinking anyone would change because your pathetic ass told them too. You won’t ever have that power but keep trying, it makes for an adorable scene thats for sure.

The Realist -

Just thinking about the Display of Max is it get-able

I Fix - Replica

You mean if iFixit will be able to sell replacements likely yes but since its the OLED variant it will take time for them to get quality replacements out. Just be patient and don’t break your XS series phone that quick. lol

Are there any differences in the FaceID Sensors compared with the X? Still a STM ToF sensor and TI Flood Illuminator?

Eric Anderson - Replica

Same thing I was wondering, from this tear down it seems like there is no Flood Illuminator. @ValinV

David Poh -

The flood illuminator is mounted to the display, same as on iPhone X. It’s on the same flex as the ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and earpiece speaker.

Jeff Suovanen -

M12 Motion Co processor? It seems like Apple forgot about this chip this year.

iliketurtuls - Replica

It is integrated inside of the A12 SoC.

Want to know if the iPhone X battery can be used on XS?

Is they the battery interface is universal?

In fact, the 6S and 7 batteries are universal, of course, 6SP and 7P are also like this.

lauwing - Replica

No, otherwise XS would have come equipped with X battery.

Aitor -

Can someone please post what the BOM cost is or Bare materials cost. For both models of course we had it for them last year but no one seems to be talking about it hear or anywhere. So ya that info would be much appreciated

thanks

Charging coil is now made of copper for efficiency and shorter charging times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdMV7c0e...

Hello friend, many times the guides of iFixit shows the most acecible and primordial of the team in the disarmament guides, without detracting from the contributions of the users which are very important for the iFixit community of repair, we appreciate your very important contribution Thank you very much for your feedback.

Anyone able to confirm if displays can be swapped with any loss of functionality? IE Face ID breaking or loss of ALS?

Jeff Caauwe - Replica

Have you guys given up answering questions? Usually you’re quick to respond! Does the FaceID/TrueDepth look to be the same as in the X? TechInsights is claiming that there are new components, but the pictures don’t necessarily justify that…

Eric Anderson - Replica

@nostrathomas We didn’t tear down the individual Face ID components (nor did we on last year’s model), so we can only speculate. There certainly don’t look to have been any major changes. I would guess the increased speed is mainly thanks to the A12/neural engine rather than changes to the Face ID hardware itself.

Jeff Suovanen -

Hi you all. As i dont find any hint about this.

Step 7 Logic Board 1. Picture: What the hack happened Kondensators on the right site? Was it like this when you got it? As you clearly see there are huge soldering issues. Usually i exspect this failures when design is not optimized for SMD Oven. But i hope that 1. ppl on ifixit had to apply a lot of heat (up to 270°) or 2. this Iphone was not working before and therefore was taken for a teardown?

Would love to get some clarification on that. Thanks !

Jan Blatt - Replica

Hi Jan! That bit of carnage was our fault, and not a manufacturing issue. We’re a small team trying to get a lot done in a very compressed timeframe, and sometimes we slip up! Nothing to worry about, just got clumsy separating the board layers. We have a better procedure in place so that shouldn’t happen next time. Thanks for keeping a sharp eye!

Jeff Suovanen -

What was the final Beer Time!?!

gabe retto - Replica

Can you teardown XS and XS Max battery(pcb part only) too ? I really wonder how apple handles dual cell battery pack. As far as i know dual cell will have dual resistance profile so you cant handle it with single Fuel Gauge. According to XRay there seems 3 wlcsp chips. So maybe 2 piece fuel gauge and 1 controller to merge cell states (voltage , remaining capacity etc.) to single I2C or HDQ line. I really wonder this

Uğur KIRÇIL - Replica

Curious about the size of the depth sensor & camera assembly. Slim enough to fit into a macbookpro screen as frontfacing?

If so, I wonder why they kept it out of the new airs.

Is there anyway I can convert my iPhone XS to an iPhone XS Max. I am thinking about purchasing a cloud locked iPhone XS Max if I’m able to input the necessary XS hardware into the XS Max. What hardware would I need to take out of my XS if this does work? Can’t find information on this anywhere.

Ok what are the screw driver sizes needed for the XR cause the ones I bought that came with the screen from you guys is the wrong one an I can not for the life if me find what size is actually needed please help

p_picinotti - Replica

Hello! If you think you got the wrong screwdriver size from us, please contact our customer support and we will get it sorted for you! To work on the XR, you will need a Pentalobe P2, Tri-point Y000, and Phillips #000. You can find all of our iPhone XR guides here.

Any chance someone can tell me whether the X and XS nfc antenna with the flex cable are interchangeable? The connector looks identical to me on both so hoping they are the same.

Thanks.

If xs turn into iphone xs max, will it work?

Jyvalleycsa Joling - Replica

Where is the proper teardown instructions? The details of bolts and how to remove each modules? Why has it become so simplistic and entertainment-centric, what it once used to be a great resource for repairs? Am I the only one feeling that the teardowns have become dumbed down?

These are not “steps” as they do not contain any valid instructions, it’s misleading. Should be named “tour of iPhone components” instead.

Regesys - Replica

Hi! You're right—iFixit teardowns are educational first-looks into a device, so in a way it is a "tour of the iPhone components". For actual details on how to remove and replace components, you should look to our guides instead!
