The guys at iFixit has done it again with another round of tear down of the iPhone 5. While most might find the iPhone 5 design to be similar as the previous model, the assembly of the iPhone 5 is actually very different.
Instead of opening from the back to access the front, the iPhone 5 adopts a top down approach assembly. To remove the front glass, which is the more commonly replaced component, all you’ll need is a a pentalobe screwdriver and a suction cup to lift the glass. This is a remarkable improvement and definitely makes broken glass replacement fairly quick. According to iFixit, the iPhone 4S takes about 45 minutes to replace the front glass but it takes about 10-15 minutes to replace the glass on the iPhone 5.
Other discovery includes a slightly higher voltage battery at 3.8V (iPhone 4S: 3.7V) and it comes with 1,440mAh capacity. The durable iPhone 5 aluminium frame is surprisingly light, being only slightly heavier than the front glass.
Head after the break for the tear down review video. Visit iFixit for the full tear down guide.
