iPhone 15 Pro Max: Teardown, Repairability, Durability, and Color Dilemmas
TL;DR Summary
The iPhone 15 Pro Max teardown by iFixit reveals a mixed bag for repairability. While Apple has reintroduced a dual-entry removable glass back cover, making back glass repairs more affordable, local repair shops still face challenges due to the software-restricted "parts pairing" requirement. iFixit also found that the titanium frame scratches easily and criticized Apple for not making significant camera hardware updates. The parts pairing issue has led iFixit to give the iPhone 15 Pro Max a low repairability score of 4 out of 10.
