Everything is paired with the motherboard. If you replace anything, there appears to be software level "hardware errors". Things stop working, but some bugs in the software allows them to work in certain areas. E.G, a camera replacement causes the camera to "freeze" and "not work". Except in panorama mode, it works in the little view-finder, but not in the main window. And also if you swap to video mode, swap the camera between zoom and no zoom, and back to picture mode.

U can't repair this phone even if u get in since apple locks all of that in software. this is an exercise of futility. Im sure u can open if to clean up water dmg or something like that, but if anything inside is broken, good luck finding parts for any of it.

At least the screen and battery work fine though, just like the 11 Pro and earlier.

However another factor that may compromise repairability is that the camera modules, Face ID sensors, display and battery are all paired to the phone’s logic board so if the battery is changed by a third party it will disable the battery health menu and also may throttle down the performance of the phone as if it’s an old battery! That’s however unless the third party repair shop can pair the new battery to the phone’s logic board! :)

Another video showed that the battery, cameras, screen etc were all paired to the board. Replacing any of these even with genuine parts will make the phone practically unusable...

3:45 and TSMC pour $25 Billions into technology that required to make that 5nm A14, just to manufacture alone not considering the design cost. And do not even think about guys who connect those 11.8 Billion transistors.

How it could be so repairable What about that they pair every thing to their phone changing components leads loss of many functionality in the phone.

Watch Hugh Jeffrey's video on it. The phone's hardware may be modular, but the software is not. You cannot replace components such as the cameras.

These repairability scores should be composed of physical accessability (6) and actual repairability (0 due to paired camera, battery, screen, etc). And the result will be a mere 1: you can replace the gasket.

@w0lfy340 3 жыл бұрын

You guys should reassemble it and rethink about the reparability scale, when reassembled, the cameras are malfunctioning, face id no longer works, the battery health infos are no longer available, etc.

Given how the logic board is paired to each device, rendering Face ID, the camera and true tone useless,, replacing parts is impossible on the iPhone 12. I would give the score 1 3 rather than a 6.

@vigztube 3 жыл бұрын

Nice. Thanks for sharing. The phone actually looks fairly easy to work with from what you guys showed. I like it!

@danielnilsson2076 3 жыл бұрын

What could be the reason for cameras not being replaceable? Is there anything that from a technical/security standpoint can justify them being paired with the phone, such as the need for camera firmware with individual calibration parameters being loaded when power is switched on, or some biometrical parameters related to phone login via face-id being stored in a secure vault-part of the camera chips like for a fingerprint sensor? Generally just curious since I from time to time try to follow the newest anti-repair inventions that emanate from Apple..

But you can’t swap the logic board or camera from two new iPhones pro. You get a lot of software issues not wanting to pair with the parts of a different phone.

I think ifixit is just not an apple fan because before I was like what ifixit say about the iPhone teardown before I start telling people prices and they were right because before models were not worth it to be an independent phone repairman. but this 12 seems so much easier to repair I'm ok with the screen needing more heat now you can get inside the phone the screws we have been dealing with for years we should have that screwdriver for apple screws. I rather have more screws then adhesive and everything pops out without adhesive that's a super plus 9 out of 10 for me

You guys forgot apple's component pairing with logic board, that includes camera now so you can't change camera if you don't have how to overwrite it

Yeah it’s a 6 in repairability but after watching some other yt vids turns out cameras will just glitch out when changed power button won’t turn the iPhone on when any component is changed even with a brand new donor iPhone 12

Think you should lower your rating of the iPhone 12. The battery, camera and screen are all paired to the logic board so good luck repairing any of those without issues. Watch Hugh Jeffreys video on this.
