iPhone 15 Pro showed that some components cannot be easily replaced

The USB-C connector is not allocated to a separate module

The first video of disassembling the iPhone 15 Pro smartphone has appeared on the Internet. Although this model lacks the same tetraprism for a camera with a telephoto lens, there are still a lot of interesting things inside the smartphone.

iPhone 15 Pro showed that some components cannot be easily replaced

For example, there is a graphite film for better heat dissipation. Although the battery does not require any special effort to remove, you still need to use alcohol to make the process easier. Here Apple still has room to move.

Another feature that negatively affects maintainability is the non-modular USB-C connector. It is part of a large assembly with a printed circuit board and cables, so replacing it is unlikely to be cheap.
