I’m really impressed that you managed to put it back together. It’s always easy to take things apart, but putting things back in so much harder, especially something this complicated. It’s fun to see inside. Thanks for the video! 😁
Not that hard for someone who regularly repairs phones. It's done all the time by repair technicians. Although the way he took the battery off is not great. The adhesive is new so it's not that strong but after a year or 2, taking a battery off like that will potentially damage the battery.
This is cool. I definitely think this is the first iPhone 14 series teardown on the internet. You videos deserve more views than what you actually get. However, I want to point out that the satellite module you mentioned at 5:35 probably isn’t it. It should be a space filler for the SIM reader. That is the spot where the SIM would go for international models. As Apple instructs users to point the top end of the phone to the sky to access the satellite service, the satellite antenna must be in the top end of the phone, hidden amongst many other antenna.
Front camera does not have OIS. That wobbling is just an auto focus. Also, the “satellite module” is just a plastic placeholder of the sim holder (available in other countries). Anyway thanks for the video! You are the first to disassemble iPhone 14
For which parts are the connectors that you remove at minute 4:27 and 4:29? I got water damage on my iPhone 14 Pro and Apple wouldn't even care to open it up. When I opened up, I can see that these two connectors look like the issue for my boot loop. Can I disconnect them and try to boot up the device? Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!
God bless this man. I am trying to change my entire housing into new one, and there was no such good instructions until this video. Again, thank you so much
@@PBKreviews Hey, I have a real quick question before I perform a self-repair on my iPhone. I figured out that my new housing is missing a 5g module, which connects to a mmWave antenna cable. Can I remove it from my old phone and put it back to my new housing or do I need to buy a new one?
The piece you said was another antenna assembly at 5:47 has broken off in my repair. Am I able to go without it? If not where could I order the whole replacement. Thanks
I removed it because it has AIS/EIS, and doesn't actually have OIS (even though it moves around) from what I was told. And no apple didn't say anything lol
this teardown is pure testament of Apple's incredible engineering... You look at the insides of an iphone and its pure perfection. Clean, beautiful. No user will ever see this, and yet the attention to detail is incredible...
@@Retronyx are you butthurt or something LMAO? you waited one year to make this comment? STFU? HAHA yeah sure bro, I guess I am afraid of you now! You are such a BADASS mate lmao! what a clown hahaha please entertain me more!
Upon further inspection, there is a copper colored border in between the top and bottom layer so there might be a vapor chamber in between the sandwiched boards, but I don't want to damage the boards by prying them apart. We will know soon when some other in depth teardowns on the board itself pop up.
When it comes to doing repairs, aside from the screen and generally the battery, apple definitely is beatable lol. I always hate taking apart iPhones, take way too much time, too many different screws everywhere, one thing goes wrong its a mess.
@@PBKreviews First of all, thank you for a great video that is very well done and really "complete" for what any iPhone user will need in the future. I read that you often repeat the complaint about "too many screws" and "too much time". I don't understand. What would be the alternative? Above all: could you really use all the same screws? ... and then it's just a "complication" what Apple chose to give (and pay!) to whom do you have to assemble tens and tens of millions of units of that model (and oters)?
You're welcome. There are many other phone manufactures with many different models which use a fraction of the screws. If they can do it, I don't see why apple doesn't.
Hello! I disassembled the 14 pro max while waiting for parts, a lot of time passed. Now I can’t remember where which screw was tightened. Where can I get the diagram? Could you make a more detailed video or post a photo? Thank you!
Wow I need the flex cable for my iPhone 14 Pro Max as I was taking off the battery and now has I known would’ve used isopropyl alcohol and ended up cutting my FLEX BAND. My phone is set differently though and has a 1/2 circle of protective tape covering mine? So unsure if they sell the flex band separate or do they want you to end up buying the whole bottom plate? I cannot turn off my phone or screenshot anything because that band is ripped clean through. Plus my flex band is covered over . So can I get that covering too along with the flex band. Any ideas on cost of these parts? You work on these phones often?
I never clicked on a video so fast. Really good video. Some reviewers and articles say the back glass can be removed now? Did you find that to be the case?
Thanks! Hmm not sure, it didn't look any different from the 13 pro max but I will take a closer look tomorrow and see how difficult it is to lift it up without the risk of breaking it.
You're welcome. It should work, worst case if you have any signal issues, you can flash EU 14 pro firmware to the phone so it reads the antenna better. You can watch videos online and on TH-cam for firmware flashing on iphone 14 pro.
Thank you for this tear down. As i pretty much thought, apple didn’t really do anything for thermal improvement. Probably just more/slightly thicker graphite film for more heat transfer, but nothing proactive to cool the phone
So lets say HYPOTHETICALLY, that i managed to break the top screen cable, will that prevent the phone screen from showing? Or will it continue to work with the second screen cable only?
Just an addition , the main sensor has an ois called sensor shift ois . This type of ois can correct about 5000 times a second . Great video , appreciate it !
@@PBKreviewsI didnt see where in the video you pointed that out? Also curious what would be the fix for an esim card if it gets corrupted? I just replaced a corrupted sim card on an iPhone 13. Not sure how or what would be the fix for an esim card.

I'm not too sure since I'm not extremely versed when it comes to each chip and how to look them up. Plus most of the important ones are sandwiched in between the boards not visible unless I pry open the boards.
Externally nothing that I saw, but it might be something which is sandwiched between the motherboards. I didn't want to pry and break the boards apart or render them useless so I didn't but it does have a copper color border in between the top and bottom layer of the board so it might be a possibility.
I just swapped motherboards on mine and now it’s overheating on the top left if looking at screen or top right from back. Battery drains super fast too. Just updated to latest os but no help. The other phone put back together works perfectly fine so don’t know what could’ve gone wrong
@@PBKreviews you’re amazing. Thank you! Hopefully we’ll see better speeds and efficiency with this newer X65 model compared to last year’s X60 in the 13(s). 😊
Just what I was looking for. Need to know if the internals allow for better therms on the 14s. If screen dimming is still a thing, I'd rather get the 13 since I hate the dynamic island thingy.

Hey bro, can you confirm the ram on iphone 14 pro max is lpddr5 or still lpddr4?
Hi its lpddr5
Nice Teardown! Is apple still using the snapdragon X60 modem or has it been updated to the X70?
definitely not x70, it would start in phones with the 8 gen 2. its has a x65 as its needed for the satellite connectivity
Is it the snapdragon X65 chip?
Yes x65
World first confirmation about the X65 chip by teardown, the signal should be much more Better than 13 pro, super super man, thank you so much!
Is the Qualcomm SnapDragon X65 modem used in the iPhone 14?
I'm not too sure since I'm not extremely versed when it comes to each chip and how to look them up. Plus most of the important ones are sandwiched in between the boards not visible unless I pry open the boards.
Does the new iphone have the rumoured “ vapor chamber thermal system “ for cooling ??
Externally nothing that I saw, but it might be something which is sandwiched between the motherboards. I didn't want to pry and break the boards apart or render them useless so I didn't but it does have a copper color border in between the top and bottom layer of the board so it might be a possibility.
Still watertight after putting everything together? No new adhesive under the screen needed?
I'm sure new adhesive would be required to retain the water resistance.
cool...I've been waiting for this
👍
Could you disassemble an OPPO Find X 5 pro phone? With an durability test?
Hi, its been torn down by a few people already, so it wouldn't be worth me spending the money on the device vs the views it would get.
btw iphone 14 pro's camera is getting bigger and bigger when will the redesign again tho?
Does it still have its water resistant properties after repair?
If you apply new pre cut adhesive for the screen, then it will retain the resistance.
Is the back separately replaceable like the normal one?
Nope
How much is the borad and from where can i bay it
I just swapped motherboards on mine and now it’s overheating on the top left if looking at screen or top right from back. Battery drains super fast too. Just updated to latest os but no help. The other phone put back together works perfectly fine so don’t know what could’ve gone wrong
Might be a defective screen or something shorting it.
