Earlier iPhone 5S announced and goes on sale in Australia today. The guys at iFixit got the unit and they begun the teardown of the latest iPhone – iPhone 5S and let us know what’s inside in it. Below you can see the images of the device.
One of the major changes compared to the iPhone 5 is a cable at the bottom of the display (on the inside) that connects the Touch ID sensor in the home button to the Lightning port assembly. iFixit says this adds a small element of danger to disassembling the handset, because if you pull too hard you could accidentally damage the cable.
The battery, they’ve found is a 3.8V-5.92Wh-1560mAh unit, made by Deasy Battery Co., Ltd in Huizhou, China. It’s a bit bigger than the one in the iPhone 5, which was 3.8V-5.45Wh-1440mAh. Not too bad and confirms Apple’s marketing of the new iPhone 5s.
iSight camera came out fairly easily and the iFixit team says it’s consistent with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S camera manufacturing markings, which means this is probably a Sony part.
Logic board – on one side of which after pushing and pulling the team was able to identify the various integrated circuit chips (ICs), including chips from SK Hynix, Qualcomm, Triquint, Apple, Broadcom, and Texas Instruments. The other side has the big hitters, like the A7 chip, below.
