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.
