The first iPhone 15 Pro teardown shows the handset is easy to dismantle and repair – but there is a twist you should be aware of.
The iPhone 15 series is shipping to buyers who preordered the handset on Friday. Millions of people will get to experience the iPhone 15/Plus or iPhone 15 Pro/Max versions of the handset. They’ll transfer data and install screen protectors and cases on the brand-new devices.
But a select few iPhone 15 buyers will dismantle the brand-new devices when they take them out of the box. That’s because the world is curious to see the internal iPhone 15 design and discover the phone’s last remaining secrets.
The first iPhone 15 Pro teardown is now available, showing how easy it is to replace that rear glass. We also get a confirmation that the handset features a larger battery pack than its predecessor.
I said recently the iPhone 15 Pros might give me the courage to go caseless for future iPhones. I haven’t upgraded my iPhone 14 Pro, but I expect Apple to keep making iPhone models out of titanium for years to come.
Aside from titanium, the new iPhone 15 Pros also feature the same design the iPhone 14/Plus delivered, making rear glass panel replacements more affordable. That’s the real reason why I’d be willing to ditch the iPhone case for good but keep the screen protector.
