The first teardown of the iPhone 16e is now available. PBKReviews on YouTube has shared detailed breakdown of Apple’s latest device. The teardown shows a clean and organized internal layout. However, repairs remain moderately difficult.
iPhone 16e Battery Capacity Confirmed
A key highlight of the teardown is the battery. The label on the cell confirms a 4005mAh capacity. Earlier reports suggested 3961mAh. The small difference may not seem significant, but surpassing 4000mAh sounds more impressive. Users can expect slightly better battery life, though realworld tests will confirm its impact.
Wireless Charging Without MagSafe
The iPhone 16e does not support MagSafe. This means no magnetic accessories, like Apple’s MagSafe chargers or wallets. However, it does support standard wireless charging up to 7.5W. While slower than some competitors, it still offers a convenient cable free option.
Repairability and Internal Design
Apple continues its tradition of a neat internal assembly. The layout is efficient, but repairs are not simple. Key parts, like the display and battery, can be replaced. However, Apple uses proprietary screws and strong adhesives. Specialized tools and skills are required for most repairs.
Final Thoughts
The smartphone does not bring major design changes. However, the battery capacity increase and wireless charging support make it a solid choice. The lack of MagSafe may disappoint some users. Still, it remains a well built and efficient Apple device.
