iFixit experts took the new iPhone 15 Pro Max apart, showing how its tetraprism is arranged and more. You can see that the tetraprism is a fairly compact and sturdy piece, probably made of glass. Technically, this solution is simpler than the periscope modules used in other smartphones.

You can also see that the main camera’s sensor is ultimately the same size as the sensor on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

On the motherboard, you can see not only the market-specific A17 Pro three-nanometer chip but also the Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 5G modem. The teardown also reveals that the rear glass is now fairly easy to remove, allowing Apple to cut the price of replacing the glass by more than half.

At the same time, the resource’s experts estimated the repairability of the new Apple flagship at only 4 points out of 10. But this is not because of the technical part, but because Apple has once again complicated the repair process by third-party experts and requires calibration of all major components after replacement.
