Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Ever… Is Actually Repairable? iPhone Air Teardown
Meet Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever! Usually, when things get smaller, they get harder to take apart. But we’ve been surprised already this year:The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge kept some repair-friendly features in an ultra-thin package.
Here’s the crazy thing, and this phone proves it: Thinner can actually be more repairable. We don’t like having to dig through layers of components for basic repairs.
We broke out all the toys for this teardown: We’ve got CT scans and microscope shots and even some brand new tools.
Let’s see how clever Apple is.
