*Description*
In this HowFixit teardown, we open the iPhone 17 from the rear to inspect its internal design, assess repairability, and show the safest step-by-step opening procedure. You’ll see the MagSafe coil, back-panel hardware, and the 9-volt battery-adhesive release method in action. We cover the 3692 mAh soft-pack battery (rated up to 30 hours of video), the A19 chip layout, and what’s new vs iPhone 16: a 6.3″ display boosted to 3000 nits with 120 Hz, a 48 MP ultra-wide upgrade, and the removal of the SIM reader (eSIM-only). We also check the Taptic Engine, loudspeaker chamber, USB-C port assembly, and why the charging port remains a complex swap.

Компания делает так, чтобы ремонт был сложный и дорогой. Детали делаются слабые. Что мешает им делать съемные батареи? Что мешает им делать крепкие корпуса? Ничего, но иначе вы будете меньше платить им денег. Самая худшая компания, которая дурит людей годами.
I dont need to repair anything. But it is so interesting to learn More about the inside
where is the video with laptop and liquid metal?
awsome ✨
Remove those ugly watermarks…I mean why would u wanna ruin good video
Hi, I'm trying to find the exact model of the hot air gun (heat gun) you are using in this video/guide. It looks like a great tool for phone repair! Could you please tell me the brand and model number? Thank you!
Até agora não entendi o motivo da Apple ocupar um espaço tão grande pro vibra, dava pra por mais bateria 🤡
Espero que alguém teste bateria de linha pro nele sem esse cabo to taptic
iphone nya kren abis 🙂
cane you make iphone 15 pro mobiel punk anten
I have my broken Samsung mobile but most of its parts are good, can we do anything innovative with their cameras or any other part ?

Human technology is great
Gotta love the removal of a physical SIM card slot, replaced by a useless plug.
Made it India sell in us dollar.what a scammer conman company apple
Am I the only one who finds that this iPhone is much easier to disassemble than the old ones?
thank u so i dont have to tear down mine myself
Wonderful
Apple should use a better way to secure things than screws. I bet they could add at least 10%+ more volume. Just have an internal assembly that has tabs to click it together. Connectors also take up huge amounts of space.
Why does google say this thing has liquid cooling when i know it doesnt…
バッテリー外すとフェイスIDが使えなくなります
We need dji mavic mini 5 pro teardown please
An iPhone Made in US is possible ？
Maybe start with buying China made battery and replacing the cover on battery to English words 🎉
17 base model heats up so fast and doesnt cool down
Wonder if it’s possible to fit that motherboard in a 16
Caramba , olha o tamanho dessa placa ? Mano é por isso que é tão caro, devido a eficiência em componentes tão minúsculo.
Ifixit to how-fixit💀
Cost only 40000 rs. only
Ohsome!!! se you again next apple product 2026. Tq
I was crying because I can't afford this iphone 17 and I saw this video and now im crying even more 😭😭. I wish you will reply me saying want one…. 😭I wishhhh
IPhone 16 facelift 😂
Interesting the battery seems to be cooked through the phone itself
You didn’t even mention which 5g modem the iPhone 17 uses.
You didn't show the modem that is being used?
4:48 I’m sorry but didn’t Apple tell us that eSIM allowed for a bigger battery? Then what the hell is that??
They could've given us a much bigger battery if they shrunk down the main board…
I hope your earning from this video is bigger than the actual Phone price 😅
