The iPhone 12 Pro Max teardown is live from our favorite disassembly experts, iFixit. The innards of Apple’s largest iPhone to date reveals several changes compared to the iPhone 12 Pro and the remaining models in general. Let us look at the teardown in more detail to see what sets the iPhone 12 Pro Max apart from the rest of the pack.
Thanks to its sheer 6.7-inch display, the iPhone 12 Pro Max size is large enough to house a plethora of components. One of them is the L-shaped battery, which is also present in last year’s iPhone 11 Pro Max. Unfortunately, for 2020, Apple incorporated a smaller 14.13Whr cell than the 15.04Whr packed in last year’s flagship. After looking at this teardown, we figured that a part of that has to do with the massive camera module that includes three sensors and one new LiDAR unit.
