Apple did not start to ship its newly released iPhone 7 and 7 Plus yet, but tech experts have already performed the first teardown of the flagship mobile device.
iPhone 7 Teardown
TechnoBuffalo reports that the Vietnamese site Tinhte has managed to teardown what seems to be a pre-production copy of the iPhone 7 Plus. The hands on teardown has revealed some intriguing facts about the new hardware packed by Apple inside.
According to tech experts, there are some question marks regarding this teardown. The listed battery size of the iPhone 7 Plus used in this teardown is slightly off what has been previously reported and the device apparently can't turn on.
Despite these red flags, the battery of the device even features Apple's logo and the iPhone 7 Plus unit certainly looks like the real deal. Until someone more official performs a teardown or until we can compare this version of the phone with the final iPhone 7 Plus, it is difficult to confirm whether or not the information revealed by the Vietnamese site is genuine.
It seems that Apple has introduced plenty of internal and external changes to the iPhone 7 Plus design. When it comes to the exterior changes, Apple discontinued the headphone jack in order to leave room for more technology inside.
Where the headphone jack used to be, there is now a single microphone. Another visible change consists in implementing the dual rear cameras new setup.
In terms of internal changes, a new haptic engine has been included by Apple in order to power the virtual home button. The Vietnamese site also notes the new setup of the Wi-Fi antenna attached directly to the motherboard.
According to Phone Arena, the largest part inside the iPhone 7 Plus, the battery pack, has 3.82 voltage and 10.22 Wh electrical energy written on it. This means an actual battery capacity of around 2675 mAh. Compared to the 6s Plus, this is good for an hour more of battery life, according to Apple.
