Reveal what's inside an iphone 7 plus

As soon as the iPhone 7 Plus has set foot in the stores, they have already been in charge of taking it apart to see what it has inside. One of the sites specialized in this type of task is iFixit, who took the iPhone 7 Plus to disassemble it and see what secrets it hides, some very curious.

Discovering the iPhone 7 Plus inside

iFixit warns at a glance that the screws are exactly the same as in the iPhone 6 Plus but when the screen is removed, we see that it is removed to the side, something that would have to do with the water resistance that the Apple terminal now has..

One of the things that attract the most attention is the Taptic Engine, which occupies the space where the 3.5 mm jack connector used to be: The Taptic Engine is a haptic vibration motor that is used in the new Home button of the iPhone 7 Plus, which measures the intensity at which we press the button and based on it performs an action. As seen in the images, this component takes up a lot of space inside the terminal.

As for the camera, you can see that it has about four metal pads around the lenses, which is due to the magnets that allow OIS, which prevents photographs from running out of the movements of our hands.

The iPhone 7 Plus battery has about 2, 900 mAh, a slight increase over the 2, 750 mAh of the iPhone 6 Plus. Ifixit also reveals with this teardown that the iPhone 7 Plus has a total memory of 3GB of RAM.

The famous Taptic Engine

The conclusions that can be drawn from this is that Apple removed the 3.5 mm jack connector for two fundamental reasons, one because it needed space for the new Taptic Engine and second because it needed the phone to be waterproof and this connector brought problems in that design.
