Apple this week announced the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lineups. Pre-orders began last Friday First customer orders are scheduled to arrive on September 16. However, some lucky people already own the iPhone 14 models. Thanks to that, we now have a breakdown with a first look at the internal components of the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Demolition was shared by YouTube channel PBK Reviews and shows an in-depth look at what's inside the new 14 Pro models. From the outside, the iPhone 14 Pro Max looks almost identical to the iPhone 13 Pro Max (at least when closed). But there are noticeable differences in it.
What's new in iPhone 14 Pro Max?
By removing the screen, it is already possible to see most of the internal components of the new iPhone. At a quick glance, the layout of most of the components is quite similar to that of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. There is a large L-shaped battery and a logic board with a new cover engraved with “A16 Bionic” on the left.
This new logic board cover is actually a metal plate with graphite pads that transfer and dissipate heat. During the keynote, Apple said that all iPhone 14 models have a better thermal system to maintain high performance for longer, and now we know how this system works.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a built-in battery with a capacity of 4,323 mAh, as I said earlier . The component is slightly smaller than the 4,352 mAh battery of the iPhone 13 Pro. Of course, Apple claims that new phones can last longer without being plugged in, thanks to improvements made to the A16 Bionic chip, which is now built on the 4nm process.
As we can see from the disassembly, the new TrueDepth camera module is actually much smaller, which led Apple to create Dynamic Island. Speaking of cameras, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has three rear lenses just like its predecessor. But this year's Pro models feature a new 48MP wide-angle lens with a much larger sensor, and this is evident from the inside.
