At the beginning of disassembling the device, a new component was revealed that was not there before. Now the smartphone has a metal plate between the screen and the “filling”. Previously, access to all internal components was immediately below the screen. On the iPhone 14, you have to remove the back for this. And this is the second big news – the glass “back” is also easily disassembled, which became a difficult and expensive process with the advent of inductive charging support. And now the back panel is easily removed as a separate element of the case. What’s more, it also means that, as with, say, the display, power users can now just as easily replace the back glass if it’s damaged. At this point, the iFixit reviewer would like to stop the video and praise Apple’s work, because such a change is very important in terms of device repairability. Additionally, he gave credit to the new sheet metal inside. It also plays an important role in the event of a fall, because it absorbs a significant part of the impact, thus mitigating damage to more important components. There were other minor changes: Finally, the new iPhone 14 received the highest rating from the iPhone 7 — 7/10. For comparison, the iPhone 13 received a rating of 5/10, and a year earlier the iPhone 12 had a rating of 6/10. Zack Nelson, who on his YouTube channel JerryRigEverything tests the durability of smartphones and their components, also praised the company for its replaceable back. One of the biggest problems with modern smartphones is exactly broken screens and case backs. For the iPhone 14, replacing the back has become less difficult than for previous models. All of Zach’s other iPhone 14 tests passed as expected. In short: the smartphone case remains very strong. The branded Ceramic Shield glass should also be used to protect the cameras, because it’s easier to leave scratches on them than on the screen. the metal frame can still be “damaged”. and in turn, the fire will cause fatal damage to the screen.
