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

the iphones have always been some of the most complicated phones to take apart you’ll check why over the process of being this video but there’s no way we are also able tell this iphone 11 pro max flagship slip by without looking 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[ Music][ Applause][ Music] since basically day 1 of the first iphone’s existence apple has been in the business of trying to keep people out of their telephones and this new iphone appears to be no different it has the same proprietary pentalobe pins containing the bottom of the screen to the stainless steel make of the phone it squanders 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 pitch-black strand locker filling the gaps between the threads 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 soothe that adhesive and a strong suction cup to pull on the screen while supplementing some leverage with my lever tool between the plastic lip and the stainless steel made as i work my lane around either side of the phone lifting off the parade you can see the substantial amount of stringy gooey pitch-black adhesive that holds the roles together i’m taking special care to avoid the ribbon cables disguising 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 at them as the screen elevations off they’re down there through those gooey strands at first glance things are so beautiful standard for the iphone a ton of shafts and the big l-shaped battery thumbs up to apple for lending 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 had a random ribbon cable coming from the center that formed the screen removal quite a bit harder the breast camera and face scanner are tucked up in the top of the phone i’ll remove these six y triple zero clamps comprising the middle-of-the-road plateful over the top of the screen ribbon connectors one of those screwings is easier to access from the other side of the screen if you close and scooch it over a little and take a look at that motherboard it’s lego connector central up in now happy birthday to myself i’ll remove another four y triple zero fuckings that hold the top protective metal plateful and surface ribbon steer down over the camera groups and there are two more jailers holding down the minuscule dish over the battery connector before i unplug that artillery though i want to make sure this whole thing still directs and that nothing was damaged during the screen removal tapping the power button shows the apple logo and the phone turns on which app should i evaluation to make sure the phone still toils perhaps i should use today’s sponsor 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 announces is a verbal programme than a recital i generally adjust the hurrying to be a tad faster than regular so i can get through more information quicker it’s a true tale about the person who convinced nasa to use space rendezvous stations instead of one gigantically big projectile it’s super interesting you can get a free audio diary plus two audible originals when you try audible for 30 dates with the link in the description audible.com jerryrig or text the word jerryrig to 500 500. The audible original names come from diverse lists like theater journalism literature and the documentary styles like the one i’m listening to now even if you decide to cancel audible at some spot in the future you still get to keep your works they’re yours to own forever audible.com jerryrig or verse jerry rigged to 500 500 and thanks to audible for patronize this video i’ll unclip the artillery connector like a little lego from this smorgasbord of lego connectors the battery actually has two connectors one is determined down below by the charging port so when clipping both of those is a good idea at this detail i just didn’t know the second one existed until later i’ll unclip one of the accuse port ribbons and then i’ll stir my mode down to the three main ribbons propping the screen to the body of the telephone the screen is significantly more simple this year than it has been for the previous years which is definitely appreciated it only has three nails nursing the earpiece to the back of the presentation apple propels phillips leader pins randomly in here and there throughout the phone so for those of you following along at home this is the third type of screwdriver we’ve exploited still further the earpiece creases down which lets us pry away the front sensors from the glass replacement parts will become more common and get cheaper as the phones get older i’ll try to link some in the video description as they become available screen replacings aren’t super difficult on iphones and with the disappearance of 3d touch the spectacle is actually thinner and leaves more room for the larger battery speaking of which i’ve had a few requests for a straight up clean video shot of the internals so feel free to screenshot this crop it and use it as your phone wallpaper if you require precisely make sure to label me on titter if you do let’s remove the front camera and the face id demise scanner thingy it’s got two ribbon cables to unplug wait nope there’s three last one kind of really sidle in there this little unit has the figurehead 12 megapixel selfie camera the one that can film in 4k and do those gradual costs and also has the infrared 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 realizes restores 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 really has determined their blueprint much more modular this year and i’m a devotee up at the top we get the normal 12 megapixel camera with optical likenes stabilizing down at the bottom we get another 12 megapixel two times optical zoom camera which also has visual epitome stabilizing and over here on the side we have a 12 megapixel wide tilt 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 upgrade from my galaxy s8 i feel like apple has finally wreaked method more peculiarities to the table with smartphones this year and are finally competing at the same level of other flagships let’s do this motherboard out i’ll unplug the charging port ribbon but before i can gather that out once again i need to switching over to the y triple zero screwdriver there are three fastens running down the right side keeping this cable with the metal bracket tucked to the side of the phone the next three nails are a bit trickier these are called standoff nails and they nurse the motherboard in place if you don’t have a standoff remover i are generally take a flat screwdriver bit and just change the fasten around in the roundabout from one line-up and as the nail comes out you can see that a standoff nail is actually a nail that has a bolt gap inside a nail within a nail they are annoying to work with but apple uses them to save space and stack things on top of each other speaking of saving space once those bolts are out and the sim poster tray is removed the whole motherboard is ready to come out of the phone and this my friends is it this is the whole thing the mentalities and brawn of the whole iphone operation is sandwiched between these two stacked cards one thing i’m pretty affected with on the iphones this time around is that all the solder connecting the circuits inside of this motherboard is made from 100 recycled tin you might be thinking nice work apple on recycling that insignificant quit of tin but because apple is using recycled tin and is not merely their iphones but the macbook air the ipad air and the ipad mini it contributes up to over 29 000 metric tons of tin ore that they don’t need to quarry from the earth it’s a fairly substantial achievement and i’m glad apple’s doing it let’s keep going deeper the taptic vibrator machine is down here below the battery near the charge port it’s got three little fucks hampering it in place and i’m going to set those off to the side to help keep things unionized a lot of telephones you can take apart and exactly toss the clamps contained or skelter but since basically every jailer in here is a different figure and width it’s very important to keep them organised into the metal layer extend and the vibrator unclipped from the charge port we get our first close-up of the taptic machine it’s nice of apple to include their logo in case we forgot what phone we’re taking apart this little guy is also exerting 100 recycled rare earth parts 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 screw and draw off the metal slab over the microphone hole 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 magical push invoices which i’m thankful for levering out permanently glued batteries is extremely dangerous and even if a dignity and lean artillery doesn’t provoke and start on fire right away it’ll still be damaged internally and will start to puff up and expand over meter these pull tabs perform artillery removal much safer yeah “theyre still” reasonably fragile and disruption every now and then but it’s still much better than what samsung is currently doing with the permanent cement and their phone[ Music] apple has three pull airstrips at the end of each side of the artillery[ Music] and i was successful enough with the majority of them that the rest of the artillery can be lifted up unharmed this is a 3969 milliamp hour capacity which is quite an improvement over last year’s 3174 milliamp hours for real apple has come out to play this time the loudspeaker “re coming” next with its two jailers propping it in place you might have noticed so far that while the iphone seems complex most ingredients are still modular and come out relatively easily you can see the substantial amount of black adhesive retain the loudspeaker to the frame of the telephone like i said during my stability research video this iphone 11 pro max is the most water resistant smartphone on the market right now while most makes have water measured their phones to a extent of 1.5 or 2 rhythms deep for 30 times simply to get that ip68 rating apple has moved over and above and researched the brand-new iphone 11 pros to 4 rhythms deep for 30 times double the penetration of what everyone else is doing hold on for a second though check this out the loudspeaker is full of one tonne of those little white sound lumps i acquire these white-hot balls facilitate fill the cavity inside of the insignificant little cell phone speaker to keep it from voicing like a tiny little cell phone talker i’ll take out the last nine pins for the charging port and get back to that ip rating even though apple went 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 position to ip69 and that’s because ip6 9 is a totally different test instead of submersion it’s a high pressure and temperature ocean aircraft test and jolly insignificant for cell phones cell phones get accidentally submerged all the time but getting inadvertently smashed by a fire truck is far less common the charging port is ultimately out of the phone that was certainly a nightmare i don’t want to repeat the iphone has so many intricate components it’s not so much better a difficult telephone to restore it’s just a very complex phone to repair and one wrong move or fasten in the wrong place could ruin the telephone if you do end up ending your back glass and don’t have insurance you can either pay apple 599 to fix it or exactly buy a substitution housing and swap over all components independently yeah it’s going to be fairly extremely pain 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 reasonably impressed with apple for stepping up and leading above and beyond the bare minimum that they usually do this time apple has given clients the specs and aspects they’re paying for and that always hasn’t been true-blue in the past of course in my view androids can still accomplish more i’m not ready to switch size just yet but i am glad that apple has stepped up with enough conduct to competitor the price tag and is doing it with recycled and recyclable materials we can all appreciate and support that i’ll get the camera components put 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 get for the figurehead cameras ultimately the front screen with its three ribbon cables can plug into the tiny motherboard and i can start hurling down all those metal platefuls over the lego style ribbon connectors the last thing that comes plugged in is the battery and this little metal bracket that makes 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 makes i for one am glad that apple has started participating again in the smartphone race and even more so for the utilization of recycled factors innovations in both areas are good for everyone i’ll be looking into the recycling efforts of other manufacturers in the future so punched that agree button if you haven’t already it’s free and remember that the computer the cosmonauts used to land on the moon 50 years ago is less powerful than the cell phone in your pocket right now don’t forget to check out the audible tie-up in the specific characteristics for your free audiobook and come hang out with me on instagram and quaver thanks a ton for watching and i’ll see you around
