iPhone Air and iPhone 17 series are currently available for purchase, and iFixit’s disassembly video of the latest slim iPhone unveils several insights about the gadget. A significant aspect of this smartphone is Apple’s ability to enhance its repairability despite the extremely thin design. iFixit highlights the simplicity of accessing the battery after taking off the back glass, which lowers the chance of damaging the OLED screen. With only a single bracket concealing the connector, all that’s needed is to disconnect it from the battery for replacement.
Furthermore, Apple persists in utilizing its electric adhesive on the iPhone Air, allowing repair technicians to just apply an electric current to the battery to separate it from the frame. Although average users should refrain from attempting to open the device and replace the battery themselves, Apple is facilitating the process for those with the necessary skills or those who wish to tinker.
