Presentation iPhone 14 and its Pro variants were, like almost every year, the biggest event of the year in the world of mobility, and Apple manages to impress even those who do not like its products. Of course, the fact that the iPhone has increasingly established itself as a reference high-end smartphone over the years has a big influence here.
Disaster aside, the various models of the iPhone 14 should turn out to be great smartphones (everyone’s preferences and opinions are a different matter), but leaving aside its features and strengths, one of the most interesting points is its “equipment”. offers at the time of repair. Here it seems that at least the one The Standard and Plus versions scored somewhat for allowing easy removal of the glass back.
The ability to remove the back of the device is a bit of a surprise from Apple, as the last time it made it possible was ten years ago with the iPhone 4s, which was released in 2011. Since then, the next generation of smartphones has required the disassembly of the entire device in order to replace it back glass, although it is also possible to open the standard iPhone 14 and Plus from the front.
If we say only the standard and Plus versions of the iPhone 14, that’s why the situation may not be the same for the Pro and Pro Max models, whose rear parts might not be so easy to remove. Easy rear removal is only confirmed for the Standard and Plus variants at the moment and even then it takes knowledge and practical skills to do it safely, so if you don’t have it or are unsure, it’s up to a qualified technician if the warranty can’t be claimed .
The easy removal of the back glass from the standard and Plus iPhone 14 may be due to Apple’s efforts to reduce costs, especially when it is one of the parts that breaks the most. The Reduced repair time would help reduce labor costs.
Apple’s new repair policy, which now offers, at least in the US, unlimited discounted repairs for AppleCare+ customers helps make the glass back easy to remove. With the move, the Cupertino giant competes with existing damage insurance plans.
