The iPhone SE‘s first look was given a few days ago when it was taken apart by Chipworks. It was revealed by the company that there was a mix of new and old components. However, a closer look has now been provided by iFixit thanks to their own teardown of the iPhone which showed what was under the hood.

If you look at the iPhone SE, it has a lot of resembles to that of the iPhone 5S, the development of the device is almost on the same grounds of the series of Iphone 5 however the components in this particular phone has been refreshed. The internal design of the iPhone SE including the logic board is very similar to the iPhone that was released in 2014. The first and foremost thing that was seen mainly was about the assembly of the entire display which even included the facetime camera. This gave us the explanation as to why the 1.2MP unit was used instead of the 5MP that we can find in the iPhone 6S.

We also know that the unit was the first gen for the Touch ID technology which has been confirmed by iFixit that the same has also been introduced with the iPhone 5S. There are also various components that have been taken out from the iPhone 5S, this includes the vibration motor and the speaker. There have been minor changes that have been made to the other components, this includes the Lightning connector. In comparison to the 5S’s 1560mAh, you have the 1624mAh.

The reparability rate given by the iFixit was 6/10 due to the fact that there is a risk in regards to the Touch ID cable when the casing is open. In comparison to the rating that was given to iPhone 6S which is 7/10 this is a little worse.
