Pretty sure the iPhone 14 already satisfies this requirement
- randomfinn 3y ago> A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools, unless they are provided free of charge, or proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents to disassemble it. Doesn't it still require heat to undo the glue?
- Retr0id 3y agoNo, they have pull-tabs (although they do often snap, requiring heat and/or IPA to loosen the adhesive)
- charrondev 3y agoOnly the 14 though IIRC. The 14 Pro is just like the old ones and is one the most complex phones to perform a repair on.
- cududa 3y agoCorrect. The 14 regular has the new design, CAD leaks indicate the 15 Pro will get it too. Two screws and a plunger get you access to both an easily replaceable screen and the battery. Really is an astonishing design. https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown https://www.ifixit.com/News/64865/iphone-14-teardown
