So I finally got an iPhone 6 Plus, I opened it up to check it out. During the disassembly I found a few QC issues, one...

Ask the grandfather.

It will be better than the 5W charger, but that’s it. It’s not for the battery to decide how much power to accept, rather the phone. iPhone 6s supports about 7.5w-10w power input.

Apple won’t be so easy, different connector.

This is just leftover of the adhesive backing. Someone left it in the phone during assembly.

iPhone 7 doesn’t support fast charging, the best it can do is about 7.5-10w. Since we can’t be sure of your subjective experience of temperature, all we can do is ask you to get a known good iPhone 7 to compare, if they behave the same consistently, then it is normal.

Nothing, If it broke, say goodbye to the disk drive feature.

No not even the same shape.

Based on what I see on Apple diagrams, those seem to refer to dimensional constraints on the board. For example some components have to exist in a defined physical location, because other components have to interact with it, or some components have to stay in a specified region, for example due to RF or power isolation. In your example, the test points have to present in a defined layer and area on the board, because the test fixture has to be able to connect with it, the standoffs have to exist in a defined area because the phone case dimension and screw post positions have been defined by some other teams, and the layout guy can’t change that. Those are just guessing anyway.

It’s around the camera. iPhone X Rear-Facing Cameras Replacement Step 21.

You’ve pull the screen too far open and damaged the cables. The cables won’t take ANY tension, there is a reason Apple designed special opening tools for iPhone repair, precisely to prevent butter finger Apple Store geniuses from doing that.

Those are likely to be hardware debug leftovers, or devkit leftovers. Extra hardware features are needed for game developer kits, like a CMOS battery, extra buttons and displays for example.

Xs has 4 antennas, while the XR only has 2.

Easy, you are supposed to desolder the battery and the dock flex first, remove the logic board then access the battery.

Look at the CPU heat spreader, it is much thicker than previous models, is it possible that this is some kind of mini flat heat pipe?

Yeah it is just a case ventilation fan, it doesn’t blow any heatsinks directly. Although with the very low TDP of the processor, a case fan with radiator type heat sink should do the job.

It is not possible to access the internals from the back, the back is locked to the case with screws from the inside.

It’s the top bezel itself, as always.

You need to show the back side of the battery, the supplier name is on the back.

No. Basically not related at all.

Zero! Way to go!
