First iPhone 14 Pro Max teardown suggests Apple is not utilizing SIM-tray house for something

The first iPhone 14 items ship in the present day, however one YouTuber has already posted a teardown (and reassembly) of the costliest member of the lineup.

In reality, PBKreviews printed the video on Thursday and has already amassed nicely over 100,000 views. This is regardless of the teardown revealing comparatively few surprises contained in the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The greatest disappointment to some prospects stands out as the lack of change in a single particular space. The teardown options the U.S. model of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which suggests there’s no SIM tray, however the house freed up by this absence accommodates what seems to be plastic filler fairly than any further componentry.

The authentic model of the video claimed that house contained a satellite tv for pc module. But this declare was eliminated in a later edit following viewer feedback. You can see extra dialogue of the “filler” in a Reddit thread in regards to the video.

To these within the know, after all, this isn’t a shock. Apple might section out bodily SIM trays fully sooner or later within the close to future, however so long as it’s making two variations–eSIM solely within the U.S., and bodily SIM in every single place else–it makes way more sense logistically to maintain them as related as potential.

There are some adjustments price testing within the teardown, such because the repositioning of the TrueDepth digital camera to match the capsule cutout on the Dynamic Island, and the looks of a steel plate for warmth dissipation. And the main points of the brand new digital camera setup are fascinating and informative. But it’s doubtless that almost all viewers will bear in mind what hasn’t modified greater than what has.
