iPhone 11 Pro Max Teardown – Tiny Motherboard & BIG Battery!

the iPhones have always been some of the most complex telephones to take apart you’ll envision why during the course of this video but there’s no way we have been able to give this iPhone 11 Promax flagship slip by without appreciating the insides this is the most water-resistant mainstream smartphone money can buy right now so it’s time to see what helps keep water out and how repairable it really is let’s get started since mostly day 1 of the first iPhones existence Apple has been in the business of trying to keep beings out of their phones and this new iPhone appears to be no different it has the same proprietary pentalobe nails holding the bottom of the screen to the stainless steel frame of the telephone it exploits a screwdriver that’s pretty easy to find online but most people don’t immediately have it on hand I’ll leave a link for a good tool kit in the description looking closely at the shaft it has black threadlocker filling the gaps between the strands and the phone body this helps keep the fastened in place as well as helps keep water out the most difficult opening for ocean to get inside the phone though is the screen there is adhesive surrounding the whole rectangle in order to attract the screen off I’ll need to use heat to soften that adhesive and a strong suction cup to pull on the screen while computing some leveraging with my lever implement between the plastic cheek and the stainless steel formulated as I ran my route around either surface of the phone lifting off the showing you can see the substantial amount of stringy gooey pitch-black cement that holds the segments together I’m taking special care to avoid the ribbon cables hiding along the edge of the right side these cables are about as fragile as article and can be torn very easily you’ll get a better look what i found as the screen face-lifts off they’re down there through those gooey strands at first glance things look pretty standard for the iPhone a ton of bolt in the massive l-shaped battery thumbs up to Apple for contributing battery life and thickness to their telephones this year instead of trying to go thinner I’m also glad that the ribbons are all off to the side last year at a random ribbon cable coming from the center that spawned the screen removal quite a bit harder the front camera and face scanner tucked up in the top of the phone I’ll remove these six Y triple-zero bolt supporting the metal illustration over the top of the screen ribbon connectors one of those screws is easier to access from the other side of the screen if you close and scooch it over a bit and take a look at that motherboard it’s Lego connector central up in here happy birthday to myself I’ll remove another four-wide triple zero screws that hold the top protected metal plateful and feature ribbon navigate down over the camera parts and there are two more screws hold to the tiny dish over the battery connector before I unplug that artillery though I want to make sure this whole thing still acts and that nothing was damaged during the screen removal tapping the strength button shows the Apple logo and the phone turns on which app should I measure to make sure the phone still succeeds maybe I should use today’s patronize audible that was convenient audible is actually one of my favorite apps the book I’m currently listening to is called the man who knew the way to the moon and is one of the audible originals it seems more like a oral programme than a recital I typically adjust the quicken to be a tad faster than regular so I can get through more information quicker it’s a true narrative about the person who reassured NASA to use space rendezvous qualities instead of one gigantically massive projectile it’s super interesting you can get a free audiobook plus two audible originals when attempting to audible for 30 daytimes with the link in the description audible.com slash jerry-rigged or text the word jerry-rigged to five hundred five hundred the audible original names come from diverse lists like theatre journalism literature and the documentary vogues like the one I’m listening to now even if you decide to cancel audible at some station in the future you still get to keep your notebooks they’re yours to own forever audible.com lash jerry-rigged or text jerry-rigged to 500 500 and thanks to audible for sponsoring this video Aylin clip the battery connector like a little Lego from the smorgasbord of lego connectors the artillery actually has two connectors one is spotted down below by the charging port so when clipping both of those is a good idea at this item I only didn’t know that second one existed until later I’ll unclip one of the accuse port ribbons and then I’ll meet my direction down to the three main ribbons hampering the screen to the body of the phone the screen is significantly more simple this year than it “ve been here for” the previous years which is definitely appreciated it only has three nails maintaining the earpiece to the back of the expose Apple throws Phillips head screwing arbitrarily in now and there throughout the phone so for those of you following along at home this is the third type of screwdriver we’ve abused so far the earpiece folds down which lets us pry away the breast sensors from the glass replacement parts will become more common and get cheaper as the phone’s get older I’ll try to link some in the video description as they’ve come screen replacements aren’t super difficult on iPhones and with the departure of 3d touch the showing is actually thinner and leaves more office for the larger battery speaking of which I’ve had a few is asking for a straight up clean video shot of the internals so feel free to screenshot this harvest it and use it as your phone wallpaper if you require merely make sure to call me on Twitter if you do let’s remove the front camera and the face ID death scanner thingy it’s got two ribbon cables to unplug wait no there’s three last-place one kind of simply snuck in there this little unit has the figurehead 12 megapixel selfie camera the one that can film in 4k and do those sluggish rewards and also has the infra red dot projector and secondary camera for the face ID it’s a pretty cool setup and I’m glad it’s not attached to the screen it does fixings easier the three rear cameras each have their own ribbon cable attached to the motherboard I can unclip each of those and then the whole contraption comes right out of the phone Apple certainly has compiled their scheme much more modular this year and I’m a fan up at the top we get the normal 12 megapixel camera with optical likenes stabilizing down at the bottom we get another 12 megapixel 2 x visual zoom camera which also has optical portrait stabilizing and over here on the side we have a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera with no physical stabilizing I feel like this is the perfect setup and the arrangement I would personally like to have someday when I modernize from a galaxy s 8 I feel like Apple has finally introduced method more peculiarities to the table with smartphones this year and are finally competing at these levels of other flagships let’s get this motherboard out I’ll unplug the bill port ribbon but before I could pull that out once again I need to switching over to the Y triple zero screwdriver there are three screws running down the right side keeping this cable with the metal bracket folded to the side of the telephone the next three bolts are a bit trickier these are announced standoff bolts and they harbour the motherboard in place if you don’t have a standoff remover I can usually take a flat screwdriver fleck and precisely change the pin around in the roundabout from one side and as the screw comes out you can see that a stand off screw is actually a fuck that has a clamped defect inside a clamp with in a nail they are annoying to work with but Apple uses them to save space and load things on top of each other speaking of saving space formerly those clamps are out and the SIM card trays are moved the whole motherboard is ready to come out of the phone and this my friends is it the whole thing the intelligences and brawn of the whole iPhone operation is sandwiched between these two stacked councils one thing I’m fairly astonished with on the iPhones this time around is that all to solder connecting the tours inside of this motherboard is made from 100% recycled 10 you might be thinking nice work Apple on recycling that insignificant remove of ten but because Apple is using recycled tin in is not merely their iPhones but the MacBook Air the iPad air and the iPad Mini it supplements up to over 29 thousand metric tons of tin or that they don’t need to mine from the earth it’s a pretty substantial achievement and I’m glad Apple’s doing it let’s keep going deeper the taptic vibrator locomotive is down here below the battery near the bill port it’s got three little screws viewing it in place and I’m gonna adjusted those off to the side to help keep things coordinated a lot of telephones you can take apart and precisely flings the screws helter-skelter but since mostly every bolt in here is a different shape and size it’s very important to keep them organised into the metal plateful withdraw and the vibrator on clip from the accuse port we get our first close-up of the taptic instrument it’s nice of Apple to include their logo in case we forgot what phone were made apart this little guy is also utilizing 100% recycled rare earth aspects since we don’t have an unlimited earthly supply of these magnets I’m glad Apple is now going through the effort to reuse and recycle parts of their phones I’ll remove one more bolt and draw off the metal plateful over the microphone puncture and check out all that white adhesive over the hole to help keep water out of the microphone it’s time to remove the artillery Apple once again has added the occult draw invoices which I’m thankful for prying out permanently glued batteries is extremely dangerous and even if a dignity and bucket artillery doesn’t trigger and start on fire right away it’ll still cause damage internally and it’ll start to puff up and expand over age these pull tabs impel artillery removal much safer yeah “theyre still” fairly fragile and destroy every now and then but it’s still much better than what Samsung is currently doing with the permanent cement and Apple has three pull strips at the end of each side of the battery[ Music] and I was successful enough with most of them that the rest of the battery can be lifted up unharmed this is a 3969 milliamp supremacy capacity which is quite an improvement over last year’s 3000 174 milliamp hours for real Apple has come out to play this time the loudspeaker “re coming” next with its two fucks impounding it in place you might have noticed so far that while the iPhone seems complex most factors are still modular and come out relatively easily you can see the substantial amount of black adhesive retention a loudspeaker to the frame of the telephone like I said in my soundnes test video this iPhone 11 pro max is the most water-resistant smartphone on the market right now while most producers have water measured their telephones to a breadth of 1.5 or 2 meters deep for 30 times simply to get that ip68 rating Apple has run over and above and measured the brand-new iPhone 11 pros to four rhythms deep for 30 hours double the degree of what everyone else is doing hold on for a second though check this out the loudspeaker is full of a ton of those little white sound balls I presuppose these white-hot missiles cure fill the infinite inside of the insignificant little cell phone speaker to keep it from chiming like a insignificant little cell phone talker I’ll take out the last nine nails for the accusing port and get back to that IP rating even though Apple moved twice as depth as everyone else they still only got the same ip6 8 rating you’re probably like why didn’t they just go up a grade to IP 69 and that’s because IP 69 is a totally different test instead of submersion it’s a high pressure and temperature irrigate jet research and reasonably irrelevant for cell phones cell phones get accidentally submerged all the time but get inadvertently shelled by a fire truck is far less common the charging port is eventually out of the phone that was emphatically a nightmare I don’t want to repeat the iPhone has so many intricate ingredients it’s not so much better a difficult telephone to amend it’s just a very complex phone to amend and one wrong move or screw in the wrong place could wreck the phone if you do end up interrupting your back glass and don’t have insurance you can either pay Apple five hundred and ninety nine dollars to fix it or exactly buy a substitution housing and exchange over all components individually yeah it’s gonna be moderately most painful either way Apple’s still kind of being a big jerk where that’s concerned I think you should just get a case before it undermines I’m jolly amazed with Apple for strengthening and departing above and beyond the bare minimum that they are generally do this time Apple has given patrons the specs and pieces they’re paying for and that always hasn’t been genuine in the past of course in my opinion androids can still accomplish more I’m not ready to switch size just yet but I am glad that Apple has strengthened with enough achievement to coincide the price tag and is doing it with recycled and recyclable fabrics we can all appreciate and assist that I’ll get the camera divisions but back into their slot they are all housed in the same metal block so it’s impossible to get them out of alignment and the same thing disappears for the front cameras ultimately the breast screen with this three ribbon cables can plug into the tiny motherboard and I can start propelling down all those metal dishes or if the Lego Style ribbon connectors the last thing that gets plugged in is the battery and this little metal bracket that shields the top then we can turn the phone back on and once again I’m just as surprised as you are that this thing still directs I for one am happy that Apple has started participating again in the smartphone hasten and even more so for the utilization of recycled constituents innovations in both areas are good for everyone I’ll be looking into the recycling efforts of other manufacturers in the future so if that subscribe button if you haven’t already it’s free and remember that the computer the cosmonauts use to land on the moon 50 year ago is less powerful than the cell phone in your pocket right now don’t forget to check out the audible link in the description for your free audiobook and coming out with me on Instagram and Twitter thanks dome for watching and I’ll see you around
