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 watch why over the course of this video but there’s no way we could make this iphone 11 pro max flagship slide 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 mostly day one of the first iphone’s existence apple has been in the business of trying to keep people out of their phones and this new iphone appears to be no different it has the same proprietary pentalobe fastens impounding the bottom of the screen to the stainless steel make of the telephone it applies 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 screwing it has black strand locker filling the gaps between the threads and the phone body this helps keep the bolt in place as well as helps keep water out the biggest opening for irrigate to get inside the phone though is the screen there is adhesive surrounding the whole rectangle in order to gather the screen off i’ll need to use heat to lighten that adhesive and a strong suction cup to pull on the screen while computing some leverage with my pry implement between the plastic cheek and the stainless steel made as i work my nature around either feature of the phone lifting off the display you can see the substantial amount of stringy gooey blacknes adhesive that holds the roles together i’m taking special care to avoid the ribbon cables secreting along the edge of the right side these cables are about as fragile as paper and can be torn very easily you’ll get a better look at them as the screen raisings off they’re down there through those gooey filaments at first glance things are so beautiful standard for the iphone a ton of screwings and 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 had a random ribbon cable coming from the center that performed the screen removal quite a bit harder the front camera and face scanner are tucked up in the top of the phone i’ll remove these six y triple zero shafts nursing the midriff illustration 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 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 y triple zero nails that hold the top protective metal dish and surface ribbon usher down over the camera sections and there are two more fastens holding down the insignificant dish over the battery connector before i unplug that battery though i want to make sure this whole thing still operates and that nothing was damaged during the screen removal tapping the superpower button shows the apple logo and the phone turns on which app should i test to make sure the phone still works perhaps 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 sounds more like a oral film than a recital i usually adjust the speeding to be a tad faster than normal so i can get through more information quicker it’s a true legend about the chap who persuasion nasa to use space rendezvous extents instead of one gigantically massive rocket it’s super interesting you can get a free audio diary plus two audible originals when you try audible for 30 eras with the link in the description audible.com jerryrig or text the word jerryrig to 500 500. The audible original deeds come from diverse categories like theater journalism literature and the documentary forms like the one i’m listening to now even though they are you decide to cancel audible at some place in the future you still get to keep your records they’re yours to own forever audible.com jerryrig or verse jerry rigged to 500 500 and thanks to audible for sponsor this video i’ll unclip the battery connector like a little lego from this smorgasbord of lego connectors the battery actually has two connectors one is learnt down below by the charging port so when clipping both of those is a good idea at this moment i just didn’t know the second one existed until later i’ll unclip one of the blame port ribbons and then i’ll fix my road down to the three main ribbons accommodating 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 screws supporting the earpiece to the back of the spectacle apple hurls phillips premier fucks arbitrarily 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 abused so far the earpiece bends down which lets us pry apart the breast 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 substitutions aren’t super difficult on iphones and with the disappearing of 3d touch the presentation 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 cultivate it and use it as your telephone wallpaper if you require only make sure to tag me on chatter if you do let’s remove the front camera and the face id extinction scanner thingy it’s got two ribbon cables to unplug wait nope there’s three last-place one kind of only 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 infrared fleck 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 sees 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 truly has uttered their design much more modular this year and i’m a love up at the top we get the normal 12 megapixel camera with optical portrait stabilizing down at the bottom we get another 12 megapixel two times visual zoom camera which also has visual portrait stabilizing and over here on the side we have a 12 megapixel wide slant 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 introduced nature more pieces to the table with smartphones this year and are finally competing at these levels of other flagships let’s do this motherboard out i’ll unplug the blame port ribbon but before i can gather that out once again it is necessary to switching over to the y triple zero screwdriver there are three bolt running down the right side keeping this cable with the metal bracket tucked to the side of the phone the next three fuckings are a bit trickier these are called standoff clamps and they regard the motherboard in place if you don’t have a standoff remover i can usually take a flat screwdriver fragment and only change the nail around in the clique from one slope and as the bolt comes out you can see that a standoff shaft is actually a jailer that has a shafted depression inside a screwing within a clamp they are annoying working in collaboration with but apple uses them to save space and stack things on top of each other speaking of saving space formerly those shafts are out and the sim card 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 abilities and brawn of the whole iphone operation is sandwiched between these two stacked committees one thing i’m reasonably affected with on the iphones this time around is that all the solder associate the tours inside of this motherboard is made from 100 recycled tin you might be thinking nice work apple on recycling that tiny fell of tin but because apples is using recycled tin and not only their iphones but the macbook breeze the ipad air and the ipad mini it supplements up to over 29 000 metric tons of tin ore that they don’t need to quarry from the earth it’s a somewhat substantial achievement and i’m glad apple’s doing it let’s keep going deeper the taptic vibrator instrument is down now below the battery near the accuse port it’s got three little nails holding it in place and i’m going to set those off to the side to help keep things planned a lot of phones you can take apart and simply convulses the screwings braced or skelter but since mostly every jailer in here is a different shape and size it’s very important to keep them organised into the metal illustration lead and the vibrator unclipped from the bill 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 using 100 recycled rare earth factors 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 telephones i’ll remove one more shafted and draw off the metal slab 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 pull invoices which i’m thankful for prying out permanently glued artilleries is extremely dangerous and even if a dignity and inclination battery doesn’t precipitate and start on fire right away it’ll still cause damage internally and will start to puff up and expand over experience these pull invoices acquire battery removal much safer yeah they are still fairly fragile and infringe every now and then but it’s still much better than what samsung is currently doing with the permanent cement and their telephone[ Music] apple has three pull divests at the end of each side of the artillery[ Music] and i was successful fairly with most of them that the rest of the battery 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 fuckings viewing it in place you might have noticed so far that while the iphone seems complex most components are still modular and come out relatively easily you can see the substantial amount of black adhesive confine the loudspeaker to the frame of the phone 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 makes have water researched their telephones to a extent of 1.5 or 2 meters deep for 30 times just to get that ip68 rating apple has vanished over and above and experimented the new iphone 11 pros to 4 rhythms deep for 30 instants double the degree 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 clods i expect these grey projectiles facilitate fill the cavity inside of the minuscule little cell phone speaker to keep it from voicing like a insignificant little cell phone speaker i’ll take out the last nine clamps for the charging port and get back to that ip rating even though apple exited twice as late as everyone else they still only got the same ip6 8 rating you’re probably like why didn’t they just go up a stage to ip69 and that’s because ip6 9 is a totally different test instead of submersion it’s a high pressure and temperature liquid jet-black evaluation and somewhat irrelevant for cell phones cell phones get accidentally submerged all the time but coming inadvertently explosion by a fire truck is far less common the charging port is eventually out of the phone that was obviously a ordeal i don’t want to repeat the iphone has so many intricate ingredients it’s not so much a difficult phone to repair it’s just a very complex phone to repair and one wrong move or fasten in the wrong place could wreck the phone if you do be brought to an end ending your back glass and don’t have insurance you can either pay apple 599 to fix it or exactly buy a replacement accommodate and exchange over each component separately yeah it’s going to be jolly excessively unpleasant 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 ends i’m pretty excited with apple for stepping up and extending above and beyond the bare minimum that they are generally do this time apple has given clients the specs and peculiarities they’re paying for and that always hasn’t been true-life 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 stepped up with enough carry-on to coincide the price tag and is doing it with recycled and recyclable information we can all appreciate and reinforcement that i’ll get the camera gangs 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 becomes for the front cameras lastly the breast screen with its three ribbon cables can plug into the tiny motherboard and i can start throwing down all those metal platefuls over the lego wording ribbon connectors the last thing that comes plugged in is the battery and this little metal bracket that plasters 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 manipulates i for one am delighted to see that apple has started participating again in the smartphone hasten and even more so for the utilization of recycled components inventions in both areas are good for everyone i’ll be looking into the recycling efforts of other manufacturers in the future so thumped 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 several years ago is less strong than the cell phone in your pocket right now don’t forget to check out the audible connect in the description for your free audiobook and come be staying with me on instagram and chatter thanks a ton for watching and i’ll see you around
