iPhone 15 Pro Max: Teardown, Defects, Repairability, Internal Changes, and Durability Tests

iFixit has conducted a teardown of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, revealing a redesigned frame that allows for easier glass panel removal, resulting in lower repair fees. The device features a tetraprism system for 5x optical zoom and is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X70 modem for faster 5G speeds. The A17 Pro chip and software optimizations contribute to camera improvements beyond zoom capabilities. iFixit gave the iPhone 15 Pro Max a low repairability score due to Apple's parts pairing requirement.
