iPhone 5s Teardown and More

We've been busier than a mongoose at a desert cobra convention—making repair guides, tearing down the latest tech, and determining how repairable your smartphones are. In case you missed all the hullabaloo, here's what we've been up to lately:

iPhone 5s Teardown

We sent our teardown engineers across the globe to get the new iPhone 5s before the U.S. release date. We wanted to know: Is the iPhone 5s just an iPhone 5 in a shiny, gold case? So, we got up close and personal with Apple's new Touch ID sensor, the glued-down battery, and the updated iSight camera.

iPhone 5c Teardown

Please, avert your eyes if you are color sensitive. Apple's brand new iPhone 5c made headlines for three reasons: it's cheap(er than a 5s), it's plastic, and it's technicolor. But we're never satisfied with how things look on the outside. Nope, it's what's on the inside that counts. So, we unleashed our iOpeners to find out what makes the iPhone 5c tick.

Smartphone Repairability List

We've added both the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c to our brand new Smartphone Repairability List. People always ask us where their cellphones stack up in terms of repairability. So, we've aggregated our repairability scores for the best-selling smartphones into one convenient page.

Is your phone easy to fix?

A7 Processor Teardown

The 64-bit A7 processor in the iPhone 5s puts out twice the performance of its predecessor. With the help of a fancy electron microscope, our friends at Chipworks determined who makes the A7 and how it fits so much power into such a small package. We also snuck a much closer peek at the M7 coprocessor, the iSight camera, and the LTE Modem.

Two New iMac Teardowns

Apple stealth-released two new iMacs on Tuesday. Not to be outdone, we performed our own stealth teardowns of the brand new iMac 21.5'' and the iMac 27''. And we found a couple of big changes—especially in the 21.5'' iMac. Unlike last year's model, you can now add a second hard drive via the Fusion Drive SSD port, even if you don't pick the iMac with the Fusion Drive right out of the factory. Unfortunately, we also found a new, woefully non-upgradeable CPU.

iFixit: Smartphone Repairability List

People always ask us where their cellphones stack up in terms of repairability. We want people to make informed decisions, as their votes influence how hardware manufacturers choose to design in the future.

Some may care that their cellphones are easy to repair and have swappable batteries; others may not. For those that do, we've aggregated our repairability scores for the best-selling smartphones into one convenient page:

2013 Smartphone Repairability Index

We weren't able to rate every single phone on the market, but this list is a good start. We have to disassemble each phone to score it, so additional hardware will show up as we perform more teardowns.

Every time someone walks into an electronics store, they're making a choice. Every gadget bought is a vote cast. Our hope is that through customers' votes, manufacturers will create long-lasting, easy-to-repair hardware that we can all love.

We're happy to talk to anyone interested in integrating repairability into their reviews; and if you want to rate your own devices independently, we'll gladly share our rating process.

Cheers,

21.5" and 27" iMac Teardowns

A Tale of Two iMacs

Apple sent out a little press release this morning and announced a minor spec bump to its now-ancient 2012 iMacs. Not resting on our iPhone 5s/c teardown laurels — nor on anyone else's laurels, for that matter — we harassed the folks at the Apple Store until they sold us a couple of units. So what did we find? 

21.5" iMac Teardown     |     27" iMac Teardown

21.5" iMac

Sporting an all-new EMC 2638 designation, the 27"'s kid brother has two pretty significant changes. Contrary to last year's model, users can now put in a second hard drive via the Fusion Drive SSD port, even if they don't pick the iMac with the Fusion Drive right out of the factory. That port is now PCIe, which should help get drives/adapters onto the market that will enable a second hard drive installation.

But it's not all good news. The CPU is now soldered to the logic board, and no longer replaceable by the user. As far as we can tell, this is the first aluminum iMac to have a soldered CPU; it's a silent, but clear, shift to even poorer iMac upgradeability. That's sad news for Apple's power user community, who appreciated the ability to upgrade their Macs on their own schedule.

The AirPort/Bluetooth card, now conforming to the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, still clings to the back of the logic board — making replacement no easier than before. Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac transceiver and BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 chips lurk within, as well as a Skyworks SE5516 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN front-end module.

An update to the hard drive SATA power/data cables — they now come together in a glorious union — and a slimmer CPU heat sink round out the changes.

21.5" iMac Teardown

27" iMac

The 27" model also gets a new EMC 2639 designation. And just like its little-base-model-buddy, it also has an unused PCIe Fusion Drive SSD port, as well as the fancy new 802.11ac AirPort/Bluetooth card. However, the big-brother iMac thankfully still has a replaceable CPU!

Apple A7 Processor Teardown

Last week, while we were disassembling the iPhone 5s into pieces, Chipworks was able to confirm that the manufacturer of Apple's A7 processor was indeed Samsung. Not being content with their discovery, they delved into the A7 some more — this time by bringing out the big guns, in the form of an electron microscope. Below are a couple of images they shot:

Even we had issues figuring out what the heck we were looking at in the images above, so we felt a bit of explanation was in order — and the M7, iSight camera, and other components came along for the ride. We present to you the Apple A7 Teardown

Some fun tidbits regarding the A7's cross-section:

• Every little hump (through which you see that yellow line) is a transistor. By measuring the total distance between ten of these transistors, we can estimate a chip's manufacturing process — essentially how tightly the manufacturer can pack in all that processing power.

• Turns out that the A7's "gate pitch" — the distance between each transistor — is 114 nm, compared to the A6's 123 nm. Big whoop, you say?

• Those 9 nm are a big deal. It turns out that the A7 is made with the same 28 nm process as the eight-core Samsung Exynos 5410, the current flagship CPU for Samsung's own Galaxy line.

• So what does that translate to? Applying some mathematrickery, this seemingly small change equates to having the same computing power, but in 77% of the original area. And given that the A7 processor is even larger in area than the A6, that means even more processing power to lead a healthy, smartphone-laden lifestyle.

We have tons more analysis of the A7, the M7, and supporting players in our teardown. Feel free to ask us any questions, and use up to three images for your story!
