One of the debates that has erupted the most with the launch of the iPhone 14 is that, placed next to an iPhone 13, the two terminals appear identical to the naked eye. But Apple has done a very complicated job inside the iPhone 14something they were able to corroborate recently in the iFixit workshop.
Three additional repairable layers
The company’s team specializing in the repair of electronic devices was very pleasantly surprised when opening the iPhone 14, because they realized that its interior had been completely redesigned with an idea in mind : facilitate the repair.
The iPhone 14s can now be described as a sum of three layers: the screen, the internal circuits and the rear panel. and the internal circuit layer is designed to be quickly replaced by a technician, without having to change the display or the rear panel. This speeds up the repair process a bit.
And in addition, the back of the iPhone 14 can also be repaired more easily because it is considered another part that can be changed without “sacrificing” the rest of the phone. The benefit also accrues to the customer, as the price of the repair goes down (from $169 to $199 in the US, according to MacRumors).
Apple will want to make it easier not only for technicians, but also for those who dare to repair the iPhone on their own. We continue to rely on complicated calibration systems to verify that everything went well, but this is an important step for iPhone repair less unpleasant for everyone.
