Unlike domestic manufacturers who like to show some hard core parameters at press conferences, Apple rarely introduces overly detailed hardware parameter information on the product page except for the performance improvement of SoC chips, and even the battery capacity is never announced, so many hardware parameter information needs to be learned by third-party disassembly. Recently, iFixit, a well-known foreign disassembly team, also released the disassembly report of their iPhone 12/iPhone 12 Pro.

From the disassembly results, except for the difference between dual camera and triple camera, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro have very little difference in the internal structure and layout of main board components. There are prominent MagSafe magnetic wireless charging coils on the back, the same 2815mAh battery (from Xinwangda), and even the Taptic Engine linear motor are the same and interchangeable.

This time, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro still use a double-layer motherboard design. In addition to the A14 bionic chip and the known Qualcomm X55 5G baseband, iFixit said that the memory used by the new iPhone is still the LPDDR4 standard, rather than the latest LPDDR5. The iPhone 12 is 4GB of memory, the iPhone 12 Pro is equipped with 6GB of memory, and the flash memory chip may come from Samsung.

In addition, the iFixit disassembled is the US version iPhone, and the frame is embedded with the unique 5G millimeter wave antenna module of the US version.

IFixit finally scored 6 points on the repairability of the iPhone 12/12 Pro, the same as last year's iPhone 11 Pro Max, and even a few comments were generally consistent. It praised the role of the iPhone's structural design in maintaining screen and battery replacement, and again emphasized the negative effect of the fragile glass back cover on the repairability of the phone.
