Teardown experts at iFixit have cracked open
the latest iPhone SE to reveal its innards. While folks at
Chipworks already did a teardown
on the iPhone SE revealing that
it came with a number of parts from older iPhones, the new teardown gives some
new details.
According to iFixit, the iPhone SE features a lot of similarities to the iPhone 5s when it comes to the parts. The
teardown experts found that the new 4-inch iPhone shared an identical display
to the iPhone 5s. It also experimented by interchanging the components of the
iPhone SE with iPhone 5s. In particular, it interchanged the display,
loudspeaker, SIM card tray, and vibration motor.
"Our testing confirms all these bits are
interchangeable with their counterparts from the 5s-same form, same function.
They bolt right up, and they work like a charm," said the iFixit report.
iFixit also claimed that the iPhone SE packed a
larger battery of 1624mAh capacity than the iPhone 5s which shipped with a
1560mAh one. Soon after the launch, Apple on its website rated the iPhone
SE to deliver better battery backup than the bigger iPhone 6s. According to
iFixit, the iPhone 6s packs a 1715mAh battery.
The teardown also
re-confirmed that the iPhone SE featured a similar camera module as the larger
iPhone 6s.
iFixit reported
that some components on the iPhone SE came with waterproofing seals. It said,
"The front camera, volume controls, and rear camera connectors all get the
fancy waterproofing treatment, while the LCD, digitizer, battery, and Lightning
connector assembly all seemingly go without."
The teardown also
lists some of the modules used by Apple including Apple A9 APL1022 SoC; SK
Hynix 2 GB LPDDR4 RAM; Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE Modem; Qualcomm WTR1625L RF
Transceiver; Qualcomm QFE1100 Envelope Tracking IC; Skyworks SKY77611 Quad-band
Power Amplifier Module; Toshiba THGBX5G7D2KLDXG 16 GB NAND Flash, and Broadcom
BCM5976 Touchscreen Controller. iFixit gave iPhone SE 6 out of 10 score
repair-ability.
