The iPhone 13 series goes on sale and is delivered to users today. WekiHome was the first to release a teardown video of the iPhone 13 Pro.
In short, there is not much change inside the iPhone 13 Pro, but there are still many adjustments to the components themselves, which is why its bangs have been reduced by 20% and battery life has increased by 2.5 hours.
The iPhone 13 Pro dismantled by WekiHome uses a 120Hz screen supplied by Samsung, Samsung RAM, and Kioxia storage. The baseband has been upgraded from last year’s Qualcomm X55 to X60 (the same as Snapdragon 888), and the battery capacity is 3095mAh (12 Pro has 2815mAh).
The first step is to remove the tray and unscrew the two screws at the bottom. Heat the screen with a heating pad, then carefully pry it open.
Compared to the 12 Pro, the screen has two noticeable changes. First, the earpiece has been moved to the back cover, and second, the display and touch cables have been combined into a single cable. Some components of Face ID have been rearranged, the ambient light sensor component has been omitted, and the width has been reduced by about a quarter.
Next, let’s take a look at the motherboard. The phone uses an L-shaped battery to increase capacity, and the motherboard layout is more streamlined and compact. The main camera sensor uses sensor-shift stabilization technology, while the other two cameras use traditional optical image stabilization.
In other aspects, the battery manufacturer is Sunwoda, and the Taptic Engine linear motor is slightly smaller than that of the 12 Pro. After disassembly, it was found to use 18 types of a total of 73 screws, compared to the 29 types of screws in the 12 Pro, making it easier to take apart.
Finally, WekiHome gave the iPhone 13 Pro a score of 90 and strongly recommends buying the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max with high refresh rates.
