    • iPhone Xの登場です! さてガラスのサンドイッチの中身は次の通りです:

    • A11 Bionicチップ、ニューラルエンジンと組み込み型M11モーションコプロセッサ付き

    • 5.8インチ(対角)オールスクリーンOLED Multi-Touchディスプレイ、2,436 x 1,125ピクセル解像度(458ppi)

    • デュアル12MPカメラ(広角と望遠共に)、広角:ƒ/1.8の開口部、望遠:ƒ/2.4の開口部、OIS

    • 7 MP TrueDepthカメラ、ƒ/2.2 の開口部、1080p HDビデオ撮影とFace ID

    • Qi充電器によるワイヤレス式高速充電

    • 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi‑Fi w/MIMO + Bluetooth 5.0 + NFC

    Which iPhone X model number are you investigating?

    Dimitar - 返信

    I think we can safely assume it’s the global A1901 model. Both other models are country specific according to EveryMac.com: A1865 for China and A1902 for Japan.

    addvariety - 返信

    A1865 is for US Verizon and Sprint too

    Sam Sun -

    On-cell display or in-cell display?

    Albee Einstein - 返信

    1901 is not global. It’s the GSM only version with the inferior Intel chips. The Qualcomm 1865 is the global/unlocked version.

    • iPhoneは10年間という長い道のりを経て、ここにたどり着きました。実際、デバイスのデザインは当初の姿に若干戻ったように見えます。iPhone Xは、ここ数年手にしてきたモデルに比べてオリジナルiPhoneに似ています。

    • オリジナルiPhoneにはないカメラの突起、輝くばかりのステンレス製スチールの表面、ガラス構造の背面、Lightningコネクターといった違いはありますが…

    • 数ヶ月前に発売されたiPhone 8と同様に、iPhone Xの背面から目障りな(そして環境保護の)指令マークが消去されました。

    • Jony (AppleのChief Design Officer)は長年願っていたスムースでシンプルなデバイス背面のデザインをついに手にしました。これにより、リサイクル表示が消されたため、簡単にゴミ箱に投げ捨てられないことを願っています。

    Here in Ireland (and I guess across the EU) we have the ‘Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China’ text, the CE mark and the ‘no dumping’ bin graphic still in place.

    Tom Mooney - 返信

    Anyone who thinks the markings on the back of the iPhone will influence whether it is recycled (rather than the trade-in value, accessibility of recycling facility or a customer’s own environmental awareness) has probably shoved a spudger too far up their nose.

    lelandjordon - 返信

    I enjoy the snarkiness in these teardowns (see “10-ray”, below), but the ‘gorsh I hope them recyclers get the hint’ was just stupid.

    • 内部を分解する前に、友達のCreative Electronが撮影してくれたX線画像を確認してみましょう。

    • 確認できたものは次の通りです:

    • なんと2つに分割されたバッテリーセルが確認できます。これはiPhone史上初です!

    • 基板面積はとても小さくなりました。半田付けポイントが2重にあることから、基板が積層されているように見えます。

    • フロントセンサー用に十分なスペースを与えるため、耳をあてるスピーカーは少し下側に移動しました。

    • Taptic Engineと下部スピーカーの間にミステリアスなチップがあります。ここには一体何が潜んでいるのか興味深々です!

    • このペンタローブネジは妙な形で、未完成のネジに見えます。ネジの先端は溝が無く、正直ネジというよりピンのようです。

    • このネジ部分はディスプレイからスチール製フレームを繋げています。そしてネジ先端のスムースな部分がとてつもなく長くなりました。

    • このペンタロープネジのデザインによってディスプレイにより柔軟性を持たせることができたと推測します。ネジが長くなったことにより、デバイス内部にある取付ブラケットに繋げることができました。結果として、増大したLightningコネクター用スペースを確保できたのです。

    • 幸いなことに、それ以外に大きなデザイン配置の変更はないようです。そこで私たちの三種の神器であるiOpener、iSclackとiFixitの開口ピックがこれまで同様活躍してくれそうです。

    • つまり圧着剤の抵抗感はさほど強くありません。そして皆さんもご存知のディスプレイとは異なり、フレームによってOLEDは頑丈に支えられています。

    The pin also applies downward pressure on the front panel, which probably helps with waterproofing.

    My iPhone X screen sometimes make a tiny noise when I press on the screen, like it’s adjusting a tiny bit. Is that normal since it’s flexible in it’s assemble or no?

    Albert H - 返信

    Depending on how hard you are pressing. Has the device ever been opened? If so, it could be because of the original adhesive-sealing not being properly in place due to the removal of the screen.

    • デバイス横から開くデザインがここでも採用されています。Appleが7 Plusでこの小さなトリックを仕掛けた時、私たちは驚かされましたが、もう朝飯前です。

    • この1つのブラケットに全ての基板用コネクターが接続されていますーこれほど密度の高いブラケットは今まで見たことがありません。

    • そして再び、トライポイントネジが登場です。ペンタローブネジを門番に例えるならば、その後に待ち受けて、修理の行く手を阻む衛兵と言えましょう。

    • ということは、Appleは私たちに(もしくはあなたにも)ここを修理してほしくないということです。

    The iPhone 7 also had a sideways opening that surprised the people doing the teardown

    As mentioned above.

    • 基板から巨大なブラケットを外した後、ついにクパチーノ(Apple本社)発、最新フラグシップを動かすハードウェアの一端を垣間見れます。

    • 今のところ、先に披露したX線画像があるためディスプレイ上のハードウェアの確認は後回しにしましょう。このX線画像でディスプレイ上に搭載されたミステリアスなチップの存在を発見しました!

    • 気分転換にディスプレイを先に外して、フロントカメラを残しておきましょう。

    • このデバイス全体を写した画像とX線画像のレイアウトが一致します。大部分のスペースが新導入のデュアルセルバッテリー用に占められており、基板用のスペースは大幅に縮小されました。

    Referencing the X-Ray image: I suspect the IR flood illuminator is the top flex mounted module just under the Face ID detector & dot projector (TrueDepth camera system). Note the heavy wiring in the ribbon and limited lines to the connector.

    • デュアルリアカメラには巨大なブラケットが付けられています。デバイス本体が曲がってしまい、デリケートなコンポーネントが破損してしまわないようサポートがされているのでしょう。

    • 加えてこの2つのカメラは内側で外れてしまわないように、フォーム製圧着剤でリアケースに固定されています。このカメラたちはPortrait Mode用や関連するマジック機能を稼働させるために、ここに留まってしっかりと働いてもらわなければならないのです。

    • ガラスで覆われたカメラ筐体の周りに小さな斑点上の溶接部分が確認できます。(3番目の画像)これはカメラの突起部分の塀を溶接してケースに固定するためと推測します。

    I really wish there wasn’t a camera hump to hold securely ..

    Darie H - 返信

    Might that beefy bracket be made of Liquidmetal (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmeta...)? That is, is it surpisingly stiff? Apple has an exclusive license to use Liquidmetal in consumer electronics, but seems not to have used it extensively.

    Dominic Dunlop - 返信

    • この密集度が高い基板を取り出して、詳細に確認していきましょう。

    • この小型基板は驚くほど素晴らしいスペースの有効活用をしています。コネクターとコンポーネントの密集度はこれまでに前例がないほどです。Apple WatchとXの密度から比較すると、Apple Watchの基板上にはもっとスペースが残されています。

    • コンパクトになったiPhone Xの基板はより多くのテクノロジーを搭載しており、iPhone 8 Plusの基板がひょろ長く、広大に見えてきます。

    • この2つの基板の表面積を比較すると、iPhone XはiPhone 8 Plusの基板の約70%に縮小されました。これによってバッテリー用のスペースを拡張できたのです。

    just imagine how small it could be if they could get rid of the sim card tray

    • Appleは一体どうやって70%に縮小された基板上により多くのテクノロジーを搭載出来たのでしょうか?言うまでもなく、基板を半分に折り畳んだからです。

    • 2つに折られた基板は半田付けによって固定されています。この分解をホストしてくれたCircuitwiseの協力で、BGA ホットエアー再加工ステーションを使ってこの基板を切断しました。

    • 基板を全て切り離した後、全ての基板部分を合わせてみました。なんとiPhone 8 Plusの基板面積に比べて35%も拡張していたのです。素晴らしいスペースの有効活用です。

    • 積層されたiPhone Xの基板はオリジナルiPhoneが現れて以来、初めてのデザインです。(3番目の画像参照)

    • この賢いデザインの欠点といえば、多くの基板レベルの修理が、この修理よりさらに難しいことが挙げられます。

    I’m sure the most outer row of via’s are extending the shielding around the sandwich. Even still thats a lot of lines being passed between the half’s! I can’t see anyone trying to open & fix this module.

    Dan - 返信

    You are missing the point. These are connecting the board physically, but there is no communication through those vias. You can see the other side of the board has all the connectors to flex. (On both boards). The third board act as a super stiffener to prevent overheating causing bending on the board. Great design!!!

    Ramiro Montes de Oca - 返信

    Sorry Ramiro the outer row are shielding (ground) the 2rd & 3rd rows are comm lines between the boards (interposer board).

    Dan -

    You’re mistaken, Ramiro. They created a third spacer PCB that lines the perimeter. And instead of connecting the two layers with a fussy flex cable, data travels along dozens of through-hole vias. Why do people spout about stuff they don’t know… it drives me mad!

    Richard - 返信

    You are Correct!

    Dan -

    Does the folded design take up more vertical space than the old logic board design, and if so, how did Apple account for this increased vertical space?

    Was there vertical space open to begin with or does something in the design allow for more vertical space (i.e. the OLED panel is thinner)?

    Thanks!

    Urname - 返信

    Yes, I think the OLED panel is considerably thinner. The X and 8 are pretty much the same thickness, so I think that that yes, it’s solely because of the OLED!

    Liam Powell -

    So Richard your assertion is that the silvered bumps all around the two boards are the vias? With a pitch of, what, 300µ?

    The MacRumors article yesterday referred to an interposer between the two main boards, but I don’t see any such. Was MacRumors wrong, or am I missing something?

    name99 - 返信

    The outer perimeter of “silver bumps” aka solder balls is most likely all connected to ground. The rest must be signals. There is not enough cabling to support the required amount of signals between the two boards.

    The interposer is still attached to the half in the top of the picture. The border of solder balls is higher than the rest of the PCB. This is required due to the night of the components on each PCB.

    Truly incredible design. Passes data without cabling, affixes the two boards to each other without hardware, and creates an EMI shield without extra metal

    Daniel Nadeau -

    Is that a piece of flat flex connected across two parts of the lower board? going right under the middle screw hole

    Andrew Cassidy - 返信

    It’s the ribbon from the camera’s which is poking up.

    Dan -

    Dan, I don't think so. Its completely sealed inside the sandwich

    Andrew Cassidy -

    Thats just a kapton insulator sheet inside the sandwich. I thought you were talking about the other image.

    Dan -

    I believe it time to find some more of my good old LCD bonding 9703 3M anisotropic tape. That might be the ticket for servicing that motherboard. Still have some tape in stock, so my shop will service that motherboard, when parts become available.

    Have a good weekend all.

    How did apple manage to take out heat from their processor? I still couldn’t understand how is this working…

    Ayush Gupta - 返信

    Good question! Given the fact the A11 chip is in the middle and doesn’t have any heat management unlike other SoC’s!

    The chip is using the smallest Node tech available! TSMC using a 10 nmFinFET process. This must be how Apple is able to not worry about heat.

    Dan -

    You are all wrong :-) look at the RF board, there isn’t a signle trace routed from the armada of solder-pads, so I’d say they’re purely mechanical & GND /tekhead

    Albert Einstein - 返信

    You do understand the PCB is made up of layers.

    Their won’t necessary be any visible traces on the surface besides what space is there! It’s so packed the lines would need to be buried inside the layers. One of the functions of via’s is to bring signals up and down the layers, clearly Apple is leveraging this here through the interposer board.

    Dan -

    @kyle - Can you take the circuit boards and take an image of the sandwich from the side or laid out in order so people can see the layers when pulled apart. I think people are getting confused on how they fit together.

    Dan -

    @kyle - Found a good image set from Tech Insights! Here’s the side views http://www.techinsights.com/uploadedImag... and http://www.techinsights.com/uploadedImag...

    Dan - 返信

    There’s a lot of need for intercommunication between the RF and the main CPU. There’s no other interconnect between the two boards. The perimeter vias have to be a communication bus.

    Kyle Wiens - 返信

    Does anyone knows how many PCB layers does each PCB half have?

    Roj Snap - 返信

    Anyone know who makes the logic board?

    i heard a rumour but need to confirm

    James - 返信

    Some of these components have a polarity. The white or black dot or a triangle denotes positive or anode end of the cap or diode.

    Dan -

    I think those are inductors, and the white spot indicates the right direction for them to go on the board.

    Which is A11 Apple processor module part number, on same package row as SoC die designation APL1W72? The A11 Apple processor module part number has a format 339S004xx. The A11 photos are without sufficient contrast and difficult to read.

    Dimitar - 返信

    No help on A11 Apple processor module part number in this analysed iPhone?

    Dimitar -

    339S00437 is the number you are looking for. You can found that in the photo shown in the Step 13.

    APL1W72 could be the product number for Apple A11.

    From known information, 339S00433, 339S00434, 339S00436, 339S00437, and 339S00439 are the part number for Apple A11.

    JJ Wu - 返信

    Is it me or are all the surface mount capacitors misaligned on the far right end? One is barely making contact with the pad. It’s like someone fudged it with their thumb picking it up.

    Ian Melzer - 返信

    I think that happens when you desolder it with hot air. It heats up the whole board.

    Liam Powell -

    which one of these chips are the thermal monitor? I have a damaged IPhone X that says the thermal monitor is dead.

    CreeperDoolie - 返信

    I would be surprised if there is a separate chip for thermal monitoring. It’s more likely a function buried in one of the other ICs, probably one of the power management devices.

    Both those chips are present in Iphone 8 plus as well. They are just in different locations. Check step 10 in Iphone 8 plus tear-down.

    Are the VIAs completely filled with solder, or are they hollow?

    Dan - 返信

    Dan, most through-hole vias are hollow.

    Jharwin Barrozo - 返信

    -> iFixit,

    look again, there are no traces routed from those, so I don’t think any data is travelling through those. It’s just ground.

    any relevant high-speed bus wouldn’t work well routed in that manner.

    main board is the “computer“ where all the flexes come in to connect to screen & peripherals.

    the rf-board is purely networking so very few wires has to connect between the main ARM and that board.

    Albert Einstein - 返信

    Albert, Review the comments in Step9 there is no other means for the two half to communicate with each other other than the vias and yes some are shielding (ground)

    • 新しいデュアルパックのバッテリーには4つのプルタブが付けられています。これはiPhone 8に使用されていた短いプルタブとよく似ていますが、以前とは違う場所に付けられています。

    • プルタブはバッテリー上部に折り込むように取付けられておらず、バッテリーセルの両脇に付けられています。このデザインでは通常の作業よりも若干難しくなります。

    • このバッテリー容量は10.35 Whで(3.81 Vで2716 mAh)、8 Plusの10.28 Whと比べると若干増量しました。しかしながらGalaxy Note8 のモンスター級バッテリー12.71 Whと比べると足元に及びません。

    • デュアルパックデザインの目的は容量ではなく、スペースを有効活用する方法として導入されました。バッテリーを2つに分割することでより自由な形状や配置箇所が可能となります。基板を縮小させることで、残されたスペースが最大限利用できるのです。

    It might be my age showing but what type of Li-Ion supports charging up to 4.35 ? (I mean .. there’s the type that goes up in flames but .. ?)

    Darie H - 返信

    It is just a more stable battery that can handle higher voltage without damage. Even my Cubot Note S has 4,35V max voltage battery (4.150 mAh).

    preziremprokletigugl -

    Okay so I use this phone for all the photos of appliances that we take at Jackson Appliance Repair Company. The question I have is— is the battery itself waterproof? Or is the phone waterproof (protecting components inside) when it’s fully assembled?

    Julie Toots - 返信

    The device is waterproof. Batteries really can’t be made waterproof as they have exposed contacts which when shorted would be dangerous depending on how conductive the liquid was (i.e. salt water).

    It’s IR. Human eyes can’t see it, so unlocking with Face ID is essentially just staring at it, and from the user’s perspective, it magically unlocks. No visible flashing here!

    Liam Powell -

    Jody, the flashes are invisible to the human eye. In the video you can hear the guy with the phone asking if the cameraman can see the flashes, because you need a special camera to view them. It’d be like staring into the end of a TV remote control and pushing buttons.

    Having designed a lens system for Occipital’s Structure sensor (which is also a Prime Sense derivative). The structured light emitter, which is actually a laser; vibrates to create the pattern that bathes your face. I am pretty sure the structure light source does not have the power to do anything besides scan your face, but also the infrared camera is lens system is probably tuned for 300 mm-500 mm unlike the Kinect(1), ASUS XTION or PrimeSense’s own early versions, which have a much longer range. If anyone is interested in doing more than just face scanning, check out Occipital’s website.: https://structure.io/ .

    • さて次は待望されてきた(ミニチュア版Kinect)TrueDepthカメラシステムに注目してみましょう!このシステムはFace IDを機能させるため様々なセンサーと融合させています。

    • システム手順1:ディスプレイに埋め込まれたフラッドイルミネータが顔に赤外線を投射します。

    • 手順2: フロントカメラが赤色に点滅し、顔が存在するかしないか確認します。

    • 手順3: 赤外線ドットプロジェクター(2番目の画像で一番右)が顔全体に投射され3Dの顔のマッピングを作り出します

    • 手順4: 左側の赤外線カメラがこのマッピングを読み込み、電話本体にデータ送信します。

    • iPhone Xの内部ではとてつもなく早いソフトウェアの魔法によってこれらのデータをひとまとめにして、所有者本人であるかどうか、または世界のどこかにいるもう一人の双子かどうか識別するのです。

    Richard Birkby - 返信

    There are three IR light sources used: The small pencil beam to see if the phone is face down or next to ones face (proximity) which uses the camera as the sensor (located just to the left of the speaker slot from the front). Then there is the flood illuminator which lets the camera ‘see’ if you are there (to discriminate there is a face present) just to the right of the camera. The third is the dot projector (on the right side of the speaker slot) to ID you. The same camera is used for all three functions no special IR camera here.

    Caleb for some strange reason iFixit do not sell the EMI Grounding Finger plate nor do they sell the wifi flex cable that is attached to the underside of that plate.

    Is the Lightning connector two-sided? Pins on both sides like we originally saw in the iPad Air 2 (IIRC) and larger iPad Pro?

    Scott - 返信

    I don’t think it really matters. Apple’s Lightning Connector is double sided, so EVEN IF they DO have contact points on both sides, they probably would have wired them together anyway.

    Xavier Jiang - 返信

    The Lightning connector IS double sided, however the pins are NOT NECESSARILY physically tied together in the connector; ergo it actually supports 16-pins, not 8. So it DOES matter. A double-sided port could hypothetically support Thunderbolt, or 2 USB3 channels. And we have seen, inexplicably, a double-sided port from Apple before in the iPad Pro. A fully 2-sided Lightning connector/port could be functionally as capable as USB Type-C, minus the legacy USB 2.0 lanes. (The Type-C connector ALWAYS maintains a legacy USB 2.0 pair; Apple would have no need for that legacy combination if Thunderbolt was their forward-looking target.)

    Scott - 返信

    Scott,

    Apple has already defined the connector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_... I doubt they are going to mess it up making it polarized directionally at this point.

    I opened the phone, removed the rear cameras, flash, logic board and battery, then wedged something underneath the rear camera bracket (which is spot welded to the camera bump) to break the spot welds to the camera bump. You’ll end up destroying the bracket (my replacement glass came with a new bracket and camera bump/lens) the bump will literally fall out once done. The rear glass can then be removed and replaced, then fit new camera bracket (and camera bump if damaged when removed).

    Gareth - 返信

    Feel like doing a walk-through on this with photos for those less-inclined to break their new iPhone just because of a smashed back panel? :D

    Samantha d'Arcy -

    Absolute joke. After having spent all day painstakingly removing every single glass shard from the rear I find out that the bloody rear replacement glass doesn’t fit over the camera bump anyway…

    Is there not a version that just fits over the bump even if it leaves a tiny gap ??? There is no way people will want their cameras/mics butchered. Failing that, it seems a bit excessive to strip down the entire phone just to remove a welded bracket. Frankly it is RIDICULOUS and I have been doing smartphone/tablet repairs from day 1.

    It’s my own fault for not researching the subject. I wrongly assumed it was like previous models where it’s just held in place with adhesive tape.

    This same kind of thing happened to me when the iPad airs came out and I thought it was still possible to do ‘glass only’. I think the only way I will learn is from not doing Apple repairs anymore!

    Anyway well done Apple for catching me out yet again…..

    Well I was only 2 years late to this party I didn’t even bother to check! Definitely serves me right :) NEVER AGIAIN! LOL

    Chris - 返信

    Further update… Managed to find a seller on eBay who sells the rear glass covers with a slightly larger camera hole so it fits straight over the bump/lens. While this isn’t a perfect solution as there will be a bit of a gap it does makes it a million times easier and actually becomes feasible to do this repair (if you don’t mind hacking away at glass all day!).

    My initial outburst was mainly because I was doing this job as a gesture of good will for someone and just assumed it to be straight forward. If it was my own phone or that of a close family/friend I would have just stripped it all down and done a proper job.

    Hope this helps someone!

Exactly! Given the amount of effort they put into shrinking (or folding) certain parts, it’s great to see they’ve put in the same effort to not make it harder to repair. That any modern smartphone will never receive a 10/10 score due to the design choices is acceptable, so I’m happy to see there’s still a reasonable way in. Not like some tablet/laptop hybrids that are horrendous to even open up; yes I’m looking at you Microsoft!

is the face id hardware programmed to the phone like the touch ID was? that would make replacing it impossible by 3rd parties.

i know its not connected to the screen, but still it may be a common repair like it is now.

karl - 返信

There isn’t really a reason why replacing the True Depth sensors should be a “common replacement” like the home button was. The home button had to be replaced because it was a physical piece of hardware that was pressed millions of times before failing. The True Depth sensor should fail rarely since it is protected under glass and won’t be hammered on constantly.

From a boardlevel repair perspective I sense this is mostly game over.

Separation of the two layers requires an amount of heat applied to the whole structure pretty much all soldering folks would consider unsafe including myself.

Lets all hope very strong that this design improves mechanical stability to a point where we wont have breaking solder joints any more and improved circuitry preventing most common damages. The level and style of catch up game with the repair industry apple plays here is disconcerting.

After settling with recent macs not to be considered buyable because of &&^&^$^ all components being soldered in and tethered added to ridiculous toylike features driving stupid prices now the iPhone is also beyond what I am willing to accept for such money.

Its depressing to see how fast apple from year to year is becoming more about profit and money and less about tech and users.

I wonder how long I have to wait until some other player comes up with a real alternative in terms of user experience.

I have to agree. I started out in 1980 with my bsee degree repairing Apple 1’s 2’s and 3’s with an oscilloscope, soldering iron and the latest copy of the ic circuit handbook. I have not been thrilled about Apples progression from everyman’s or women’s mac to unserviceable sometimes throw away stuff that needs cottage industries to support what they can, when before it was mainstream repair with dig this, a service door!.

Ross Elkins -

@Ross Elkins: The Apple 1, ][ and /// were designs based on 7400-series TTL logic. Do you have any idea how big, power-hungry (and expensive!) devices like the iPhone would be, if they were designed with 7400 chips? If it would even be possible (which I seriously doubt), the PCBs stuffed-full of TTL logic would easily cover a football field, would require a 1000A power supply, and would cost $100,000 (or more)!!!

For you to even mention the repairability of stone knives and bearskins designs (no offense meant to Mssrs. Wozniak and company) like the first few Apple computers in the same breath as state of the art, massively-integrated product designs like the iPhone X strongly suggests that you wasted your money on that EE degree; because you certainly haven’t been keeping up with technology, even at a lay,an’s level.

Douglas McIntosh -

Yes, serviceability has definitely lost ground to compact design over the years. There are trade offs everywhere and either we carry around a brick with a removable back panel for component repair/replacement access, or have the smartphone design we do today where it's practically an extension of our body. I'm for the latter.

I do love iFixit teardowns though, daring to go where no one is intended to.

this iPhone can work with one side of the logic board desoldered . you have to use it however as an iPod or iPad without wifi and bloetooth.

Techmann - 返信

without harddriver either!!!

Could you check readings on that vias? (just some of them) and confirm whether they are grounded, empty or data, power lines?

Seems like Apple is designing a few more chips now.

T Hui - 返信

Maybe I missed it, but did we find out what the chip next to the speaker is? It was called out with a green box on the X-Ray in the 3rd step. I don’t think i saw the explanation.

gregkramer - 返信

I believe you’re talking about the chip in Step 20!

Dom Santangelo -

Just a guess, but the “Unidentified sensor bracket” in Step 21 could be related to Apple’s new leather folio case which wakes the phone upon opening and sleeps upon closing.

Antoine V - 返信

I’m sure the IR proximity is what does that

Dan -

It’s unlikely to be the proximity sensor doing this, as then it would work with third party cases as well, not just Apple’s and would do something similar when just covering or uncovering the screen.

Justin Clifford -

In the iPhone X promo video from Apple, we can see the OLED screen is curved under itself, which I’ve read is to ensure a consistent light all the way to the edges of the phone.

_

I’ve looked above a few times at the various steps but don’t seem to find any reference to details on the OLED screen, which you’d imagine is a very important part of any smartphone.

_

iFixit, can you please add a 24th step that goes into detail on this? I can see from a couple of comments above that I’m not the only person wanting to know.

_

Thank you for your incredible work!

Alex - 返信

Any chance you can show us the folded OLED screen? Isn’t this an integral part of the phone? Why did you leave it out?

Alex - 返信

Any idea who they are using for the Qi charging IC?

Robert McCormick - 返信

Apple made there own coil. It has the apple insignia on it

zachary -

Are you able to put the phone back together and have it still be functional, or does this tear-down destroy the phone?

Peter Georgiton - 返信

There are too many screws on the iPhone X

Mandy - 返信

The degree of consolidation for functionality in the circuitry is unprecedented! State of the art.

For the dual-cell battery, why adding 4.93Wh to 5.52Wh = 10.45Wh, instead of 10.35 Wh as marked?

Two different capacity cells in parallel connection lose 0.1Wh?

Mark Francisco - 返信

Will you be doing an in-depth tear down of the display itself? I’m super curious how Apple actually put this display together, especially after that outstanding product overview video.

BunkerS - 返信

Hi, I know that the iPhone X supports the auto sleep/wake function, as on iPads, using wallet covers like the original Apple Folio one, so I think there should be magnets inside the phone, is that true? If yes where they are? I saw tons of wallet covers on eBay that are sold as "magnetic" but they don't say if they support the auto sleep/wake function, anybody has tried one of these? Thanks

Could I replace the Entire Face ID Package, including the camera? Or is it paired to the Logic Board?

Matt H - 返信

So, is look like the Camera bump is very strong and durable since is welded to the body frame + glued to the glass. Right?

Time Line - 返信

How durable do you think the Camera bump welded to the Metal Frame + glued to the Glass (Glass glued to Metal frame)???

Time Line - 返信

Fantastic teardown guys!! I am curious about the stainless steel ring around the frame. It does appear that it’s composed of 4 distinct pieces due to the seams between.

Can you guys comment on how they’re connected to each other as well as the backplane?

It does make me wonder on the Space Grey version - are the 4 pieces PVD coated before they’re joined or after?

Steven Fischer - 返信

Any chance you guys will do a teardown of the display like you did with the iPhone 6s? I’m genuinely curious how on earth they made this gorgeous display!

BunkerS - 返信

I have I phone X now , and wear the phone by protection cover , couse I am afraid that back class will broke , do you have an other solution to save back phone ?

Abdulaziz - 返信

I work for a phone company and we are getting these phones returned by same group of people, they take the phone out then 24 hours they return it, the boxes are open but the phones are still in the plastic seals, it there anything that can be done to these phones they look as good as new but my gut is saying something has been done with the phones.

Hi, please, where is fourth microphone at bottom of the phone? Integrated in speaker assembly? All phones since iPhone 7 has 4 microphones, and i counted there only 3.

The little white dot on the back of the wireless charging assembly, that is visible through the crack between the two batteries, is this another liquid damage indicator? If not, where are the rest of the internal liquid damage indicators aside from the small one in the sim card slot?

What do you do with the phones from your teardowns?

Liam Judge - 返信

@ltjjudge Lots of things—after the teardown we go to work writing repair guides, so teardown phones and components get used for guide photos, parts compatibility testing, etc.

Jeff Suovanen -

can anyone please tell me is there a slight flex or compression in iPhone X screen when pressed a little hard in the centre of the display. Also please tell me if u hear a hollow tap in the middle region of display compared to corners when u tap it with moderate force?

My iPhone X sim port was open and it fell inside the water and turn blank on the screen what can I do to solve this problem

James edward - 返信

Hi iFixit team,

At step 21 , there’s a rubber / silicone casing around the camera flash , which (I suppose) helps with water / dust isolation. I’m missing mine (repair shop probably “forgot” to put it back in). Any idea where I could get one?

Thanks a lot!

Marek Tomašovič - 返信

Could anyone unfold the logic board or is it really complex?

www.crazymono - 返信

Getting it apart is very straightforward if you have a good hot air station. (There are numerous how-to videos on YouTube at this point.) Putting it back together in good working order is significantly tougher, but do-able.

Michelle - 返信

Ich habe diese Höllentour durch - ohne Teardown und Anleitung. Display und Rückseite waren gebrochen und mussten neu. 6 Stunden fummeln und fluchen später war das Ding fertig. Besonders unlustig: Mehrfach überlappende Kabel und Bleche, dazu zig verschieden große und lange Schrauben. Das bekommt Apple auch NIE in den Griff sich auf 2 Schraubengrößen zu einigen. PS: Rückseite geht bei über 180 Grad ab wie Butter. Vorher aber das gesamte Gerät bis zum letzten Teil entkernen.
