10 minutes and 55 seconds of goodness.
No bullshit, no non-sense, just straight to the point, I love it.
Thank you
Thanks and you're welcome :)
@@PBKreviews great video bro, you should partner with Hugh Jeffries and I fix it, they’re really good when it comes to tear downs.
Thanks! They each have their own thing and doubt they would want any partnerships but I wouldn't be opposed to every doing a collaboration with them.
This video is BS though. Would you really want to receive your phone back after all this had happened to it? I mean, I used to repair iPhones back in the day, but, come on. Just get a new phone.
@@nyccollinwhat?
Repairability score 7/10. This Teardown Video Review 10/10. Amazingly well done, in focus, no bs, everything covered. Bonus points for quality voice and not having grungy hands or nail bitten fingers too. Props.
Thanks!
repairability is more like a score of 5/10 since you can’t just change the battery an expect it to work you have to reprogram everything and that goes for the screen as well
7/10?? Man everthing in this phone is software locked, you cant replace anything without special soldering skills and/ or programming tools.
nail bitten score🤣🤣
lol the last few bits, couldn't agree more!
I swear to god this teardown video was more entertaining than the whole introduction of the new iPhone 15s and pros from Apple.
These are the videos on TH-cam that makes the prices a lil easier to swallow after seeing the engineering/components under those glass panels, that is what make these iPhones such QUALITY AND AMAZING PRODUCTS. 👏👏👏
Thanks for giving us what we needed a vid straight to the point
Thank you and you're welcome

Props for mentioning the repairability score and the challenges associated with replacing parts in Apple devices
👍 thanks
I love how you reassembled the phone and it works! That was an amazing tear down.
Thanks! :)
I like that you don’t show the unscrewing process, it saves a lot of time, thanks for such an attention to details! Super quality video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
You must have the patience of a saint to carefully go through the 200 steps of disassembling this phone
Lol yeah, it's a headache that's for sure.
Premium Quality!
At this point, 254k view patience lol
lol
Great breakdown and instructional video... Thank you for this contribution! Forgot to say, this teardown earned you a new subscriber... Keep up the great work.
Thank you and you're welcome :)
This man is quick wit it, has an exquisite voice and makes it simple to understand
That’s actually revolutionary for Apple. Thanx for video, amazing quality as well as details and description.
Keep it up man !
Thank you 👍
So happy there is no music or any disturbing elements. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you and you're welcome :)
what a flex to put that all back together and start it up, 10/10👏
What an amazing teardown. Neat and to the point, absolutely loved it. You earned a new subscriber 👍🙌
Thanks!
In a vacuum, it's a huge step towards self repairability on Apple's accout. I don't think they have removed the hardware ID locks when replacing parts though
That sucks, would love to put an extended battery in the 15 pro
Yep, that's what sucks. They basically try to say look we provide the parts so they get away with it but in the end, you're still stuck to going to them for a repair.
It’s okey because it’s genuine parts! Like a car dealer ;) won’t lose the phone value of you out cheap parts
I would be happy if they had fair prices for OEM parts. but some of them are just too expensive.@@Renmen956
The HW lock can be solved with a JCID programmer, as in the end, it is a software lock. The issue is that prevents any hobbyist from doing it. Excellent video PBK.
New sub! Straight to the point, thank you and well done!
Thanks!
Subscribed! No unwanted drama and theatrics. 🎉
Thanks!
I really love your teardown videos, and the fact that you are very fast
Thanks!
You sir are amazing, no bs just what I needed to see
you are the first and also the best for teardown video, thank you
Thanks!
Loved this video man. You are really good at what you do and I enjoy watching you.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this video. Tremendous content, production and presentation.
I'm impressed how much easier it is to remove the back glass. My sister has an iPhone 11 with cracked back glass and the quote from Apple for the cost of repair and replacement was $275.
It got even worse in recent years. The iPhone 14 Pro Max costs $549 to repair. Now the 15 Pro Max costs $199. Still very high considering the relative ease of replacing the rear glass, but it's far better than what it previously cost.
Thanks. Yup its easier, but most likely software locked since the wireless charger is attached to the back glass. So complete back glass replacements probably won't be fully functional unless you're able to pry off the wireless charging coil and move it over to the replacement glass.
@@PBKreviews Great point. I'm looking at it from the average iPhone user (I'm not one)... since it's easier, I would hope that Apple would charge less that their old $275 to change the back glass? BTW, whoever asked for back glass anyway? A plastic would have been so much better.
And while we're on that subject, why do these companies insist on gluing their batteries with such difficult adhesives? LG comes to mind (I have an LG V60).
I honestly think its because they don't want you to be doing it and have to send it to them. Sometimes they will meet the bare minimum requirements just to say look we made it user replaceable but we wont make it easily replaceable etc. So you are forced to pay them or their authorized locations to repair it for you.
Damn youre fast! Any chance you would also be tearing down the pro max version so we could take a look at the new telephoto assembly? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍. I wasn't able to get a pro max in time, so I'm sure others will have it done before I get a chance to do it. If i do come across one soon I'll consider doing it.
love the way ur vid doesnt have excess chatter. just the facts ma'm . love it
I'm in love with iPhone's internals. It's pure engineering.
Beautiful inside and out 😍
It's because it's all 🖤 inside.
I myself prefer black PCB over any other PCB print color.
@@LenstskyYT it's not only because the blank painted board. It is because the structure and custom parts.
The Galaxy is better engineered. You can put a pen in there!
@@JohnTaylor-bd1uy I think a pen inside doesn't mean better engineered.
Dude you got some great numbers on your teardown. Well done 👏
Good thumbnail 👌
Thanks! Not as well as some of your videos haha. A few of your's blew up.
The iPhone is really a work of art, it’s so cool seeing how every piece is engineered and how it all comes together, powerful components made into these tiny little pieces smaller than a Lego. Ear speaker, 48mp camera, image stabilized lenses, LiDAR sensor, it’s just so fucking cool. I know it’s not unique, cell phones have looked like this for a long time but something about Apple’s looks special.
What a surprise! It is magnificent!
Very helpful! Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
Wow, the interior of tech is so satisfying to see ❤
👍
Very professional thumbs up 👍
Thank you 👍
Do you think it’s possible to integrate an iPhone 15 pro max into an FPV drone? With additional electronics for the connecting points?
That was much needed! Thanks a A LOT
👍 you're welcome
Thanks for you work
You're welcome :)
Great teardown video, and props to Apple to make the 15 way more accessible.
Thanks!
Can't wait to see the new camera module of the Pro Max ❤
Don't think I will be doing the pro max since I wasn't able to get it in time. So I'm sure others will have a teardown out before I get a chance to get the phone and do the video so no point in spending the money buying it :)
you deserve a subscribe, right to the point. very solid!!
Thank you :)
world no.1 fast
Awesome teardown!
Thanks!
This is a very clean disassembly
👍 thanks
First time viewer. I am throughly impressed and realize this is well beyond my ability. I’m getting the insurance on my 15 PM tomorrow. Thank you.
Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Hat off to all those who design, build and repair this stuff.
Thank you, and you're welcome :)
Fabulous work 😍🔥
Thank you :)
Thank you for details ❤
You're welcome
PBK, any way to make the thermals better? IDK, graphite pads, anything that can put inside this phone that can help?
Fastest man to bring video of 15 series teardown
Straight to the point 💪🏾
👍
Well done, this is a different lidar sensor, perhaps the imx611?
👍 thanks. not sure the exact specs on the sensor.
❤ for the Hard working apple engineer’s
👍
Great video …enjoyed Watching it ..will you do Max model too?
Thanks! I wasn't able to get it in time to do so by the time I am able to get it and do the video I'm sure others will upload it so no point in spending the money on purchasing it.
Great Work Boss 👍😊
👍 Thank you
Why am I even watching this? I don't have an iPhone and don't plan on getting one, but it's like seeing a magic trick! Can't stop watching!
Because youre curious
haha :)
My pre-order IPhone 15 + wasn't arrive yet and you already teardown iPhone 15 Pro 😂
😂
10 minutes 55 seconds of satisfying video
Good work thank you
Thanks!
The fact that you beat iFixit is hilarious! Well done brother!!
Thanks :)
That's one tricky repairable iPhone 😂.
Great job as always 👑.
lol yup, thanks!
Thank you
👍 you're welcome
Good job
Thanks
Amazing video ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Os iPhones são bonitos por fora e por dentro kkkk. Muito bem construído.
We wanna see the new Prism Zoom thingy on the Max. Thanks
Awesome video! One question, is the wireless charging thing glued to the back glass? If so is it too hard to unglue? Thanks!
Yeah its adhered to it, not sure how strong since I didn't try to pry it off, but from the looks of it from other people who tested, the back glass with wireless charging coil can be replaced without any software lock issues so replacements should not be a problem.
thanks for making a good video
Thanks for watching!
good job
Thanks
Whatever you say especialist are great to create such smart things
heat up on heating pad or alcohol on edge to help with releasing screen. same with battery same for back
Great work! Thanks. Now to the 15 pro max to see what that Tetraprism lense is made of
Thanks! don't think I will be doing the pro max since I wasn't able to get it in time, and I'm sure others will have a video on it before I get a chance to do one so no point in spending the money on purchasing it.
Do comparisons between iphone with sim tray and without. And 5mm wave and without. Basically US vs Canada phone
I'm glad it's easier to repair. With that said, I can't believe they still haven't added a more robust cooling solution
I know, right? one would think.
What camera do you use to record video?
Great video, @pbkreviews, like all of yours!!
1 question: what is the adhesive type you use to close the phone again?
Thx!
I usually try to go with the original one made for the phone itself which usually becomes available online after a month or so when the phone is released. But here is a video I did a while back, explaining a bit further. th-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/w-d-xo.html
@@PBKreviews thanks so much!
I'm looking forward to your iPhone 15 pro drop test ;-p (apparently said to be worst than previous 14 pro)
You're welcome. I don't have a drop test planned since overall there has been no improvements to the glass made over the year before so results wouldn't be any better, but someone already did do a drop test from appleinsider I believe and the results were poor compared to last years.
Is the battery replacing the sim space
I see the connectors are still that bad quality that they need a plate screwed down to keep them from falling out on there own.
I remember taking apart and fixing my girlfriend’s LG G3 and it was so easy few screws and took no time at all. They’ve really made it crazy
yup
Классный разбор телефона
👍
Fascinating!
👍
no drop test on the iphone?
@7:27 . after getting through the adhesive with the back removed ,thats it but i dont see scree access there . its all from the other side . theres the 1 screw for the wireless coil bracket.. then from the front its the 2 usual awkward to remove screws [straight down ] then the usual flat screws 8:52
Very nice sir ✌
Thanks :) 👍
Super Video 😁.
Thank you 👍
Brasil na ativa !!!
:)
Doesn’t seem to have a SIM card slot place holder. Does that mean the models with or without now have different internal designs? Bigger battery on the ones without?
US version is also only one with mmWave antenna
The US ones don’t. They did the same with the 14
Not sure, we will have to wait n see from someones teardown on an international model.
@@PBKreviews from Luke Miani’s teardown the sim tray sits where the chip on the top left in your video is. Wonder what that chip is. Mm wave controller?
Really enjoyed that - thank you.
You're welcome :)
Great teardown video! one thing i noticed is that every iphone motherboard have so many connectors compare to samsung which only has 6 or more connectors on its motherboard compare to 11 or more connectors on the iphone.
Thank you. Yup.
Question, did they make use of the space that is taken up by the SIM card tray in the international models with something else here?
I didn't notice anything or any covered up space that can be used, unless its from underneath the board soldered on the back side. So who knows, maybe the design internally might be slightly different on international ones but the chance is small.
NFC antena is in the main board?
how does it cost to change the body housing ???
After seeing how easy this is (thanks to you), I’ve decided to not get AppleCare for my 15PM. I only wanted it because the glass black plate breaks relatively easy due to it’s weight. Cheers!
I've got bad news for you mate. you still can't change the back glass without going insane and lose a bunch of functions of the phone alongside it.
Yup its easier for screen and back replacements, but everything else is complicated. Not to mention you would have to probably pry off (if even possible) the wireless charging coil with flex and move it over to the replacement back glass since almost certainly apple will have a software lock in place tying that part to the phone.
@@Daridddayou can if you go to an Apple authorized service provider or Apples store and pay them to do it.
Now the first teardown ever.
👍
Did I hear that right you have to remove the back glass in order to remove the charge port!
yup, because the prongs for the back glass on bottom cover the charger port screws from inside the frame, so you have to remove the back glass to be able to remove those screws lol.
@@PBKreviews stupid Apple move
yup
🎉🎉🎉 great job
👍 thanks
What is your opinion about the newest jerryrig video ? Can you tell if the Glass is really that fragile or if there is a structural problem with the phone chassis itself ? Or you think this is uncommon and was just bad luck ? Greetings
The fact there is a circle cutout in the midframe where the wireless charging coil is seated into, basically offers no support directly behind it, and it's not completely flush with the battery nor is the battery a solid piece and can flex. So the glass on the pro max since its longer/larger, makes it more vulnerable than the pro glass in the center if being pressed down firmly as he demonstrated on the pro max vs pro. In general the back glass is weak. Maybe apple made it this way since its easier to replace, they thought they would make it cheaper and have more people breaking it and bringing it in for cheaper repairs but more often so equaling more profits. But that's just an opinion lol. Who knows, but the reason the glass from previous years didn't break as easily was because it was fused with the frame making it more durable and have more support. I'm sure they could have made the glass stronger but yep, it is what it is :)
Wow! love it
👍
The repairability is actually amazing. If you think about how difficult the 12s or 13s were.
Curious if they have the same size Taptic engine on the iPhone 15 Pro Max
Not sure, I would think it might be larger.
which the UWB antenna in this ? 🤔
And I’m still waiting for pre-orders to stock back up. 💀
lol, hopefully soon.
Love from Bangladesh 😍😍😍
:) 👍
hello I missed it in the video but where are the wifi and bluetooth antennas located?
@9:35 its that flex cable assembly, and here is a look at what it looks like: www.unionrepair.com/replacement-for-iphone-15-pro-wifi-antenna-flex-cable.html
Do you still need to swap the battery board to a new battery and reprogram it with the 15? Thanks.
Not sure, but I would assume so. I didn't have an extra phone on me to swap parts to test.
Remove-able back glass reminds me of iphone 4, ridiculous it took them 6 years after the 8 and X to have that again
Yup, but I'm sure software locks on the wireless charging coil that's adhered to it will still make it a pain.
