IPhone 6S Teardown Review - YouTube


Talk of September is the iPhone season. IFixit disassembles iPhone 6s released as usual with haste.


In order to disassemble with haste, the iPhone launch side by side with one Australian Apple store in the earliest country ......


Get up in the morning. It is a hat off to the mission sense of iFixit that "I have to disassemble iPhone 6s earlier than anywhere!"


So, it is the iPhone 6s of the new color rose gold that will be disassembled this time.


The size of the iPhone 6s is 138.3 mm long by 67.1 mm wide, slightly larger than the iPhone 6 of the previous model.


It is 0.2 mm thick than the iPhone 6, 7.1 mm, weighs 14 g, 143 g.


The 4.7 inch display is exactly the same as the iPhone 6 with a resolution of 1344 x 750 and a pixel density of 326 ppi.


Rose gold was newly added and it became four color expansion.


Disassembly of the iPhone 6s starts by removing two special screws (Pentalobe screw) next to the Lightning port on the bottom.


IFixit special tool "ISclack"so……


Paccari.


The contents of the iPhone 6s have appeared.


Compared with the previous model iPhone 6, you can see that the battery is getting smaller as Taptic engine that realizes the new function "3D Touch" is incorporated.


Removing the display connector from the logic board (motherboard) ......


The display part can be separated. The display got 15 g more than 60 g and iPhone 6 's. Amazingly, 60 g is the same weight as the iPhone 6 Plus display.


The FaceTime camera (front camera) evolved significantly from the conventional 1.2 million pixels to 5 million pixels.


Removing the LCD shield plate ......


An IC chip for 3D Touch "343S00014" appeared.


Next, remove the home button.


The upper left is the home button of iPhone 6, the lower right is the one of iPhone 6s. As the shape is slightly different, I know that the accuracy of Touch ID is up.


Mounted under the battery "Taptic engine" which creates click feeling by vibration


Inside the Taptic engine, a tiny spring is built in. As the motor rotates, the spring expands and contracts, and a click feel different from vibration is born.


Pull the adhesive under the battery with Bjyo ......


I could remove the battery.


The battery capacity of the iPhone 6s is 1715 mAh and the capacity is decreasing from 1810 mAh of iPhone 6.


The iSight camera (rear camera) can be detached with tweezers.


Rear cameras upgraded to 12 million pixels can shoot movies of 4 K (3840 × 2160, 30 fps). It also evolved reliably, including support for slow motion video of 1080p (120 fps).



Finally, remove the logic board.


The red frame has A9 chip and 2 GB Samsung LPDDR 4 memory built-in. Orange frame is MDM 9635 M of Qualcomm's Cat. 6 compliant LTE chip.



The back side looks like this. The red frame is Toshiba's 16GB · NAND flash memory, the orange frame is 339S00043 of the Wi-Fi module, the yellow frame is the NFC controller NXP 66V10.


The decomposition difficulty level of iPhone 6s certified by iFixi is comparatively easy to be "7" in 10 steps.


The reasons for that include the fact that the display parts can be removed immediately, the battery can be accessed directly, the Touch ID cable is still ejected as usual, and Apple still uses Pentalobe screws.

In addition, iFixit as well as iPhone 6s Plus are also hanging up with haste, and you can check Taptic engine in a completely different form from iPhone 6.
