Specialists iFixit disassembled the iPhone 8

Penetration into the inside of the “eight” began with the removal of the front panel display.

Each year, the specialists iFixit disassembled the new iPhone to show us their internals and assess their repairability. Last year’s iPhone 7 received a score of 7 points out of a possible 10, repeating the result of two predecessors — the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6. However, announced this month and is already on sale in some countries, the iPhone 8 has failed to follow in his footsteps: for a complex six-layer replacement for the back glass and need to get some components through the mounting bracket and carefully laid the cables he took away one point. Summary — 6 of 10, which is also good, if you remember “unit” Essential Phone and the Quartet have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Penetration into the inside of the “eight” began with the removal of the front panel display. When they reached the battery, the parser has verified that the capacity is slightly decreased in comparison with the iPhone 7 and is now 1821 mAh (of 6.96 W·h) instead of the former 1960 mAh (of 7.45 W·h).

The main camera has retained the same 6-element lens aperture of f/1,8, but its sensor, although the same resolution of 12 MP, you’ll be increased size. This means that it contains larger pixels which receive more light, thereby improving color reproduction and reduced noise, especially in low-light conditions.

In the photo you extracted the motherboard with a red square dedicated system-on-chip A11 Bionic, under which is hidden the 2 GB of RAM LPDDR4 production SK Hynix. Small chip on the left is the NFC module, to the right is the Qualcomm Snapdragon X16 LTE. Flash memory, which Toshiba released iPhone 8, is on the reverse side of the Board (pictured below circled in yellow frame). In the upper right corner you can see the module responsible for data transfer over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and FM radio.

When all other “filling” of the iPhone 8 is extracted, it is the turn of Qi wireless charging. The next photo shows the module designed to convert high-frequency magnetic field fluctuations in AC current. A more detailed description of the process of “preparation” iPhone 8 in English can be found on the iFixit website.
