Repair specialist iFixit is in the midst of conducting its customary teardown of Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro, with an initial report highlighting the handset’s massive battery, revamped TrueDepth camera and minor tweaks to the phone’s internal layout.
Like the iPhone 13, and many previous models, iPhone 13 Pro is sealed with adhesive and its display cables are once again disposed on the left side of the chassis. Those cables attach to a stubby logic board that has been shifted up to accommodate an L-shaped battery, a design borrowed from the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The 2,095mAh cell is rated at 11.97 watt-hours with a measured capacity of 12.11Wh, according to iFixit. That compares to a 10.78Wh battery found in last year’s iPhone 12 Pro. The repair specialist notes iPhone 13 Pro’s battery can be swapped, but doing so will trigger a warning notification regarding the use of ersatz parts.
To reduce the size of iPhone’s “notch,” this year’s TrueDepth module features a compact design that combines the flood illuminator and dot projector into a single part that is positioned between the front-facing 12-megapixel camera and IR camera.
A closer look at the internals reveals a combination digitizer and display cable, which joins a redesigned sensor cable. In previous iPhones, the digitizer and display cables were individual parts that required separate connectors.
Earlier today, teardowns of iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini by German firm Kaputt.de revealed larger batteries and major component redesigns like the diagonally-situated camera modules and smaller Taptic Engine.
