The rose gold model of iPhone SE that will be apart this time. The iPhone SE has a 4 inch (1136 × 640) Retina display.


Model number is "A1662"


Aligned with iPhone 5s (left), it looks exactly like this. External dimensions are exactly the same.


The only difference from the exterior is that the beveling of the edge was not polished and only changed to a matte design.


I do not want you to disassemble the iPhone, Apple still adopts a special screw "Pentalobular" as usual.


IFixit evaluates as "I do not like" as an obstacle to repair at DIY.


After removing the special screw on the bottom, iFixit's "ISclack"Paccaly at the display part. In addition, iPhone SE display desorptionIPhone 6sIt seems easy if compared to.


The cable leading to the Touch ID is a booby trap. It is necessary to remove it carefully so as not to cut the cable by lifting the display all at once.


Safely, we could remove the display part.


The display on iPhone 5s on the left and the display on iPhone SE on the right. What a part is exactly the same. It has been confirmed that even if you attach iPhone 5s display to iPhone SE with iFixit it works.


Remove the battery following the display. Remove the connector ... ...


Pull off adhesive to remove.


The battery is disconnected. The battery is 3.82 V, 6.21 WHR and the capacity is 1624 mAh. Performance is up from 1560 mAh of iPhone 5s. By the way, because the shape of the connector is different from the battery of the iPhone 5s, it seems that we can not replace parts.



Next, iSight camera (rear camera).


Rear camera unit of iPhone 5s on the left and iPhone SE on the right. Rear cameras with improved performance from 8 million pixels to 12 million pixels can be confirmed to have reduced connector pins.


From the left, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone SE are seen through X-rays like this. You can see that the layout of the parts is almost the same.


The only good difference to say is that the Apple logo has been changed to a bimetallic material.


Speakers and ...


Vibrator and ......


The SIM card tray is exactly the same as the iPhone 5s. Of course, mutual exchange is possible. And, surprisingly, the connector for connection with the front camera, the rear camera, the volume button, the logic board of the rear camera is silicone sealed and it is waterproofed. However, it seems that display, battery, Lightning etc. are not waterproofed.


Remove the Lightning connector assembly.


It looks the same as that of the iPhone 5s, but the shape of the connector is slightly different. Therefore, it seems that this part could not be diverted. It seems that iFixit is a part change to make it compatible with USB 3.0.


Removing the logic board.

The cable for the physical button ......


The clip shape to be connected has been changed.


A case where all parts were removed.


IPhone SE is made from these parts in roughly division.


The decomposition difficulty level by iFixit is a relatively easy category of 6 out of 10 stages. The reason is that while it is easy to access the display assembly and the battery and exchange of parts is easier, we still point out that we are using special screws and that the Touch ID connector is a booby trap I will.
