Apple’s disabling of easy repairs on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is a huge understatement, as there are tiny screws, bits and parts that will likely need to be examined under a microscope to properly identify them. Built in. One YouTuber indicated that when he was sent his 6.7-inch iPhone with severe internal damage, it would take a very long time to complete the repair. As a result, he decided to perform a complex teardown to reveal how extremely difficult the procedure was.
The YouTuber says there would have been no way to keep all the parts of the iPhone 14 Pro Max in one place without his trusty magnetic mat.It took him four and a half hours to complete the entire process
Unlike iFixit’s iPhone 14 Pro Max teardown that seemed easy and straightforward, Huge Jeffreys appears to have had a complete meltdown when trying to perform a complete teardown of the flagship. The unit he received was shattered from both the front and back, but it was revealed that the internal components were intact and could be disassembled with little to no difficulty. , which resulted in a near-impossible demolition.
According to the YouTuber, Apple improved the design of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus to make repairs easier, but for some reason the company didn’t take the same approach with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Even replacing the battery is extremely difficult, and Apple could learn a thing or two from Samsung, which introduced an easily removable and identifiable pull tab in the Galaxy S23 series.
Jeffreys laments that instead of one type of screw securing the components of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, there are multiple types of screws. There are also many small pieces that must be carefully removed or pried off. The YouTuber notes that these fragments are so small that simply changing your breathing pattern or sneezing is enough to blow them away and you lose them.
Once the entire disassembly process is complete, the various pieces, bits, screws, and other parts of the iPhone 14 Pro Max cover a rather large magnetic mat. Jeffreys says he would have definitely lost some of these parts if he hadn’t owned the mat at the time of the teardown. The video also shows that putting all these parts back together takes just as long as taking them apart, but here we have an extra twist. You have to remember which parts need to be moved where. Otherwise, you will encounter repair obstacles.
After fixing the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the YouTuber runs into another problem. iOS disabled True Tone and auto-brightness because Apple’s software doesn’t recognize the new display as genuine. If you’re eager to fix your own girlfriend’s iPhone 14 Pro Max, the video at the top will definitely change your mind. Jeffreys claims that fixing the device took him a whopping four and a half hours, so readers should acknowledge the fact that he shortened the entire process to his 19-minute video.
