By making the internals backward, Apple just streamlined the battery replacement process for the non-pro 15s. Gone is the process of having to remove, carefully replace, and then test the screen post-repair.

Wouldn't be surprised if the soldered USB C connector was because there wasn't enough time to get the custom ribbon cables made in the required batch quantities. Or it's simply out of spite since they were forced to have the new interface by the EU.
You appear to be under the false assumption that Apple rush designs and don't know what they're doing. Don't confuse them with some knock off outfit like Xiaomi or others; believe me, they plan each phone design and countless iterations of prototypes thereof, *for years in advance*. Never make the (common) assumption that something you heard via the media was only heard at that time by Apple; they are fully informed, way wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of Joe Bloggs reading "news".
This is nothing new, idk why Luke is treating it as such. Every iPhone since at least the 4 has had its connector on a ribbon cable like that, hidden beneath the speaker and other components.
Great video, Luke. The removability factor reminds me of that old phrase, 'It doesn't have to be good, just good enough.' in that, as you said, the new phone is more repairable...but not any easier to repair. Enjoy Australia. Very jealous!! 🌏
@@cameronbosch1213 In Europe SIM-lock is not a thing anymore (somehow it's simply gone, even from T-Mobile). E-Sim is actually a whole lot easier to set up. Before traveling to Turkey I can already buy my E-SIM-card in Germany. Before the E-SIM I always had to buy the SIM in Turkey, change it while traveling etc.
@ThePianist51 I mean, I'm talking about users moving from iOS to Android. This makes it much harder, because now you need to call credit card companies.
Hey Luke! I always love your videos, they’re so informative and entertaining for us Apple/Mac fans. Thank you for all you’ve done for this community! FYI I purchased a 5,1 cheese grater Mac Pro and I’m in the process of using OpenCore to update it to Ventura. I’m running dual X5690’s, 24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and a Vega 64 (having done the Pixlas Mod) as well as dual NVMe SSD’s in a PCIe adapter card, configured in RAID 0 for about 3,000 MB/s read-write. I have you to thank for my obsession with this beast!!
@@unlokia Lol, well it’s a really great machine and it cost me $55 for the main unit, $105 for the Vega, $10 for the RAM, and $30 for the new CPUs. So I’m pretty hyped up about getting basically almost iMac Pro - level performance from it, a 13 yr old machine.
it is not a back glass serialized . but wireless coil. You can transfer it from an old to a new screen. will all software locks reparability for me will be 2 of 10
The back glass on the pro and pro max aren’t serialized. PRG did a video where he swapped the glass from 2 phones and they worked with no messages about serialized parts at all.
You don’t seem to be up to date with the back glass details. 1. The rear glass on the newer models (15) is thinner and less durable than on the (14) and previous. 2. The reduced repair cost was only done because of point 1 - the glass is thinner and cheaper and less durable. It is not the same durable glass with a lower price. It would be assumed Apple knew these would break easier on the back due to being thinner and made repairs cheaper in an effort to promote repairs.
what happens if you take the back glass of example iPhone 15 pro max and swap it with another, iPhone 15 pro max. Will you get message saying its not genuine etc.
Well for this normal I have used what I would call a MagSafe type lighting charging cable with my iPhone ever since they came out. Since they are not plugged and unplugged on a regular basis. Hopefully the USB C style port will not get damaged once I purchase one. Now I also feel that Apple should have made the USB C port itself modular. Securely kept in place by the pressure once the device is fully assembled. Already have multiple USB C version of the magnetic tip that work with the current version of my magnetic end charging cables.
Maybe, as you mentioned in a previous video, that the Iphone 15 Pro's chip is not really an A17 pro but simply a tweaked A16. Is there any test to be done to verify whether the A17 pro is indeed 3nm lithography?
Based on the video thumbnail, I thought this episode was about your intense constipation. Which would make sense after an incredibly long flight to Australia eating airplane food.
13:11 Come on, it's not that hard to reach this conclusion. The parts are serialized and cannot be interchangeable between iPhone models to prevent stolen devices from being used as a source of "official" parts for repairs. The only company that can supply certified parts is itself, it is part of the business model. However, from a safety point of view, there is an indisputable need for parts to be serialized and not interchangeable, whether you like it or not. It is necessary to dimensionalize what it means to ask Apple to give up this control and let someone go out and take parts from devices and place them in others. This means indirectly endorsing the theft to dismantle parts, because today, with all these obstacles, this market exists! Even worse, it is asking this without taking into account other geographical realities, where the crime rate is so high, that it is even more necessary to take actions like this of blocking the hardware to a serial.
@@daneberrymanNo meetings, no movies, no concerts, no going to the theater...always at home, mute switch not needed. Hermit. Honestly, removing this switch was Apple's dumbest idea.
Difficult repair is hardly surprising. Apple intentionally makes the repair tricky so that users are intimidated by the process and take it to Apple for repair. There may come a day when that isn’t the case but I suspect Apple and other phone manufacturers will be forced to do it by right to repair.
That has never been the case, either for Apple or anyone else. They just don’t care very much about repairs being tricky. And they don’t need to be tricky for people to come to Apple for repair.
…Are you going to keep this iPhone model bc maybe you should dig a little deeper and pry open the sandwiched logic board to tell us if the SOC is stacked with another chip. I think a lot of people are curious about the thermals, I know that affects them significantly. Personally I’m trying to figure if it’s at all possible to add on any additional thermal interface cooling solutions but I need to be able to tell how the chip is exposed. Actually would be pretty great to get a response from you 👍
Ok, you make it sound like a bad thing that the usb c port is soldered to a ribbon cable. That is a good thing. That means anyone with a handful of screwdrivers and pry tools can replace that. As opposed to requiring someone with soldering skills and a complete hot air rework station. Having it attached via cable is a good thing. Do not insult them for that because they will happily change that. It’s basically the only repair that is not somehow blocked or locked down on the phone.
USBC connector design is worst than Lightning. More dust and small particles can get stuck inside the USBC port and especially the cable with the small hole.
Thanks for this content. It solidifies my feelings of skipping the iPhone 15 Pro. If I'm going to use a phone for 5+ years, I want the most consumable, wear-heavy components to be easily accessible and easily repairable. Otherwise, I may as well pick up a cheaper variant that's enough to justify a total loss in worst case.
Right to Repair and upgradeability is at the bottom of Apple's priority list. If they made it a higher priority they may well gain a lot of customers but probably not make any more money. People will want to hold on to their devices rather than upgrade. But if they really want to save resources and be a green company they would make that decision.
IN other words Don't mis-Hande your iPhone. Be gentle with the USB-Port and Pray that the European union demands easy battery replacement and USB-Port replacement be able to be done by the average consumer with the tools they typically have at home! 🤣
I wish I had all the official repair tool because I do some repair at home..and I’m sorry…to be honest….it hurt me seeing you handle the phones and tools 😂😂😂😂 since I always nervous handling customer phones even I have done this thousand of times 😂

In case of Apple, the latter would make more sense.
The real reason is that the lightning connector has also always been part of the bottom ribbon assembly, so nothing has changed.
This is nothing new, idk why Luke is treating it as such. Every iPhone since at least the 4 has had its connector on a ribbon cable like that, hidden beneath the speaker and other components.
I mean Apple have been doing it this way for a while. Eventually I’m sure an easily replaceable port will be available
