What is the biggest difference in the iPhone 14 plus teardown?

    With the release of the iPhone 14 plus, it has attracted many people's attention, and they are curious about how it is different from other iPhones. iFixit uploaded a disassembly video of the iPhone 14. Let's take a look at the biggest difference between the iPhone 14 plus?

    The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are the first iPhone models since the iPhone 4S that can be opened from the back of the device. iFixit says the display and rear glass panel can be secured with just two screws and one or two connectors, making both components easier to remove and replace.

    The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models are essentially a sandwich, consisting of a display, a midframe that houses most of the internal components, and a rear glass panel.

    According to internal documents seen by MacRumors, Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers can replace the midframe by installing a new one on a customer's existing display, rear glass and rear camera, as long as the parts aren't damaged.

   The iPhone 14 allows the individual replacement of the back cover, and there is only one wireless charging cable connected between the back cover and the motherboard.

    Moreover, the specific steps of dismantling are also different from previous iPhones. The iPhone 14 started from the back cover, while before it was disassembled from the screen.

According to the repair quotation on Apple's official website in China, the estimated cost of replacing the iPhone 14 back cover alone is $180, while the iPhone 14 Pro is $500, a huge gap.

   In fact, the cost of replacing it alone is still high, but the simpler replacement steps and methods also give the third party the possibility to provide lower maintenance costs. Of course, you can also buy a mobile phone case to protect it.

    When replacing a new back cover for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, a calibration processm configuration is required.

    Since there are MagSafe, NFC and flash modules on the back cover, it is speculated that it may be a process of pairing between Apple's internal software and official accessories to avoid "safety" problems caused by third-party accessories, and it can also be regarded as Apple's maintenance of its own right to repair.
