The iPhone 16 family was made official last week and went on sale today all over the world. Next an early unboxing video from a few days ago we now have the first teardown video of the iPhone 16 Pro.
This shows how you get into the device, and that’s through the back like most phones. Compared to the iPhone 15 ProThe motherboard of its successor is smaller and more densely packed, and the overall layout is quite different. There is also better heat dissipation, but repairs may be more difficult due to the tight space.
The camera unit is larger on the iPhone 16 Pro than its predecessor, thanks to the addition of the 12MP periscope telephoto camera. As we reported yesterdayThe iPhone 16 Pro’s 3,582mAh battery is 9.4% larger than the 3,274mAh cell in its predecessor. It’s also encased in a steel casing (unlike the iPhone 15 Pro’s), which may help with heat dissipation.
The phone’s internals are made of aluminum and graphite. Apple says the new chassis improves thermal performance five times. The camera control button isn’t removable, but is laser-welded. The charging port flex cable has been separated from the microphone, improving repairability in that regard.
