iPhone 12 Pro video teardown goes hunting for magnets

Vlad, 02 November 2020

As usual, following his traditional durability test, YouTuber Zach from the JerryRigEverything channel then goes on to tear down a phone on video. In this case, we're talking about the iPhone 12 Pro. The device's Ceramic Shield front glass was found to scratch just like regular glass, but what about what's underneath?

That's where the teardown video comes in, to reveal everything that Apple packed inside the iPhone 12 Pro, all the different components and their various connectors. You'll also notice how hard it is to 'get in', along with Apple's love for a specific type of connector (and many different types and sizes of screws).

The motherboard is double stacked again, the battery has 'magical' pull tabs that seem very prone to breaking, the Taptic Engine is smaller this year (the battery too), and there are 18 small magnets arranged circularly around the wireless charging coil to enable MagSafe to work.

See for yourself in the full video below.

iPad Pro have tons of magnets also... Apple really like magnets. Maybe just like the iPad pro, you can stick the iPhone to the fridge. And hey don't need to worry about dropping.. because it got ceramic shield! :P
