iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max teardown: great modularity upgrades and better repairability due to a dual-entry design and a metal enclosure for the 16 Pro's battery

We first cracked into the iPhone 16 lineup over the weekend, and we were impressed.  The vanilla iPhone 16 earned a respectable 7 out of 10 repairability score.

The new battery is encased in a metal can, using a technology first pioneered in the Apple Watch. This makes it puncture resistant, enabling safer repairs and recycling. https://www.ifixit.com/... [image]

When we decided to tear down the new Galaxy Ring, we had a problem: opening these smart rings is so destructive, there just wasn't going to be much to see. So we reached out to some friends to see if we could throw hardware at the problem:
