iPhone 12 Pro Teardown: 5G Comes at a Cost

ffs, totally downplayed how hard it is to get the screen off. and that you can accidentally separate the screen from the frame and destroy the LCD.

Apple are a bunch of jerks

I love iFixit videos but the heatgun bits are always so misleading. They always wave it like some magic wand for a few seconds on a corner and the glue is magically denaturalized across the device. When in reality it takes forever for the glue to give up on this generation of iPhones.

Good

The ONLY real review teardown with a proper parts identification.and in American/Canadian English thanks god !nice job !cannt wait for 13 and mini 6;..please identify Qualcomm model just like u did here .great job again!

Amazing score when you consider the new Z fold flip 3 only get a 1 in the repair ability 🤣

Very malicious and intended anti repair features. Like the camera is paired to the logic board? This kind of stuff should be illegal as we have every right to repair.

5g 5g 5g 5g 5g %))

Great

Nice!!

Ipad pro 5th gen 12.9" please 🙏

The oops machine had me ded

How is it 6 out of 10. U cant get parts and using the same part from another working phone doesnt work well if it works at all. U should give it 1 of 10 for repairablty and maybe maybe 6 out of 10 for accessibility.. even thou the glue and removing battery to remove the board is a pain in the A$$

I just got my iPhone 12 Pro Max gold edition I love it because of the 4K HDR and 5G and The OLED Display and the AR Camera system to make it look really real I love this phone it’s fun to watch movies in 4K and film videos in 4K and play video games the screen looks beautiful I got the best phone on the planet

Love the scientific stress tester

Thanks, I had to do a charging port replacement on an iPhone 12 Pro today and this video helped.

The 12 pro is junk. I’m on my 12 pro max and the screen is pure garbage.

I like your brand and what you do in repairing sector.
But Score of 6 ??
All main components are locked/paired to specific motherboard even if they are easy to swap they won't function the same, or show some irritating warnings even after getting genuine part, and back glass replacement is a complete different story.

TIL that ifixit has an "oops-machine"

I'm gonna buy it then

Fuckapple don't believe it's ip rating it's apples scam

how is the repairability score so high, you cant really use the phone after repairing it

Good luck with iOS 14.4 broo. camera now paired to mb

343 dislikes is from apple bots.

Thank God they didn’t removed screws replacing them with adhesives as they did with the iPads

"5G comes at a caust". Yes it does, that caust is your health. Apple is commiting murder by including 5G in their phones. The reason is that 5G breaks up DNA and causes cancer.

But hey.. They won't include charger because of environment! You only just need to get a new phone if anything happenes..

Will be easier to repair by buying the entire back housing lool

if i had an iphone 12 i would be scared

Doesn't swapping out parts like the camera and screen cause the device to stop functioning correctly?

Can we fit iphone 12 display to iphone 11?

Great video and great channel!

OMG this guy is a genius.. @flexible_tech just saved my life now... Wow i can't believe this after been through a lot of stress... He just unlocked my iCloud... I knew a lot of people will need someone like him so i recommend him you. Thank me later... I promise to recommend him to a lot of people because of the discount on my job.. Stay blessed 100%

sorry but you need to rework your repairability score basis,it's nothing more than a" how easy is it to get in" score!

I definitely get faster speeds on my pro max vs my old iPhone X. I’m definitely not getting much of any actual 5g data but speed really doesn’t matter that much on phones. If you have 4g, you’re good.

All variation of iphone 12 is unrepairable

New tag from apple : U can't fix it

Great. Now go make a teardown video of the WF1000xm3

Ifixit, can i know if we replace the lcd for iphone, is it not water resistant as before?

All iPhone 12 series is basically un-repairable without apple doing it

Apple Care = Problem Solved

Think you should lower your rating of the iPhone 12. The battery, camera and screen are all paired to the logic board so good luck repairing any of those without issues. Watch Hugh Jeffreys video on this.

6/10? this just shows that ifixit doesnt actually tests if the phones are really repairable. I dare u, try swapping parts and see if the phone works.. lol

You can't fix or do anything with the iPhones any more. Everything inside the iPhone is paired with that specific device. If you change anything, the phone stops working. Apple has found a workaround to stop letting third party vendors fix iPhones, and soon, Mac and iMac will join the same category. So now, if you buy anything Apple, and it breaks, you have to spend hundreds of dollars getting it fixed at an Apple store, rather than being able to fix it yourself, or from a third party vendor.
I am done with Apple

I repair phones and am told not to touch the face ID sensor/dot projector cz it breaks the thing and seeing him do it infuriates me

How can it score so high when Apple has software built in to discourage repairs?

I really don’t care about 5g.

Why does 5G come at a cost?

So something in search for a problem comes with problems. That’s a good deal!

Next time Do more research 6 is way to high for pared cameras...

I've read your written teardown and you said motherboards are the same except serial numbers. I'm very curious what would happen if you put 12 pro into 12 or vice versa.

no talk about software paired components that are impossible to replace??
