Apple’s new flagship iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models are not yet on sale. But the new iPhone has already been disassembled. Especially in the USA, teardown videos of smartphones are quite a curiosity. The main detail that draws attention in the video is the moment when the iPhone 15 Pro rear glass cover is opened.
iPhone 15 Pro will be easier to repair with the new back cover design
Apple started taking pre-orders for iPhone 15 models as of today. iPhone 15 Türkiye sales will start on September 29.
As we reported, iPhone 15 Pro rear glass cover repair fees will be much cheaper than iPhone 14 Pro. Judging by this iPhone 15 Pro interior opening video, the main reason for this is that the back glass can be repaired more easily. For this reason, Apple will repair the new iPhone Pro models for 20 thousand lira cheaper.
One of the details that caught our attention when opening the iPhone 15 Pro model is its compact design. In particular, many parts are connected to the motherboard via sockets. This allows the parts to be removed more easily. Another important detail is that there are no overlapping parts that make repair difficult. Of course, this mass interior design is one of the important design principles that Apple has always implemented.
However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will receive a low iFixit score in terms of repairability. The main reason for this is that Apple does not support the parts used in previous iPhone models for new models. Especially for countries such as the USA, the opportunity for users to repair smartphones themselves is important. In this respect, iPhone is among the companies that generally prevent home repairs.
