Uh, look at that wonky Qualcomm SDR735 chip.
Actually looking at it a bit closer it seems like the board was destroyed during disassembly?
- zeroflow 4y agoYeah. If you look at the complete board shots, those chips are inside the sandwich of PCBs. So yeah, it was probably disassembled in an reflow oven without much care for the components. 1. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+14+Pro+Max+Chip+ID/153224 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+14+Pro+Max+Chip+ID/15322...
- fodmap 4y agoNot only that, in the previous picture you can see some smd components have been blown away as well. https://valkyrie.cdn.ifixit.com/media/2022/09/18133340/iPhone14_20_Edit-squashed.jpg https://valkyrie.cdn.ifixit.com/media/2022/09/18133340/iPhon...
- spookthesunset 4y agoI noticed that too. They might have been poking and prodding around with the different chips or something to see what is inside. That or it is the result of aggressively removing all the shielding. Sure threw me for a loop though.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoTaking all the shielding off those chips is probably what destroyed the board. Without doing that though, these images would just have all the chips covered by shielding metals/alloys.
