This year, Apple released three new Apple phones, namely, iPhone XR/XS/XS Max. As for the long-awaited iPhone 9, which has not appeared for a long time, it seems that it will no longer exist. Recently, iFixit, a well-known overseas disassembly team, released an iPhone XR disassembly report. They said that various signs found through disassembly showed that the iPhone XR might be the iPhone 9 we expected.

After the iFixit team's disassembly, they found that the iPhone XR looks like a combination of iPhone 8 and iPhone X. First of all, the single rectangular battery of the iPhone XR is quite close to the era of iPhone 8, and the square motherboard PCB is very similar to last year's iPhone X. This structural design makes people wonder whether this is the iPhone 9 that Apple originally intended to release.

From the results of disassembly, the iFixit first emphasized the large size battery of the iPhone XR. From the front, this battery seems to be slightly smaller than the one on the iPhone 8 Plus, but because of its large capacity, its size is actually slightly thicker. Although the battery capacity of the iPhone XS has reached 2658mAh (10.13Wh), the battery capacity of the iPhone XR has reached 2946mAh (11.16Wh). Because of this large battery, the iPhone XR has a better battery life than all other Apple phones.

Another point highlighted by iFixit is the single camera used on the iPhone XR. Although it is inferior to the dual camera of the iPhone XS, it is worth affirming that, The camera on the iPhone XR has the same specifications as the camera used on the iPhone XS. It is a 12 megapixel wide-angle lens. Thanks to the performance of the intelligent HDR algorithm and the A12 bionic chip, the imaging ability of the iPhone XR is not as poor as people think.

It is worth mentioning that during the disassembly process, iFixit found that the module SIM card slot module was used on the iPhone XR for the first time, which means that users can more easily repair and replace this module. Previously, Apple had always welded the SIM card slot and the motherboard together.

In the end, iFixit scored 6 points for the maintainability of the iPhone (out of 10 points). They believed that the waterproof design of the iPhone XR made it difficult to disassemble the phone, even if it was correct. But the real difficulty lies in the sandwich structure of this mobile phone, and the disassembly of the front and back glass is the difficulty of this mobile phone disassembly.
