For comparison, the iPhone 12 Pro Max from last year came with a 2,815mAh cell, and now we can see the 15% improvement this year indeed. The new L-shaped battery of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is manufactured by Huizhou Desay Battery Co., Ltd. The internals has been neatly arranged this time with the A15 Bionic proudly printed on the chipset. The face ID sensor has gotten smaller and has been redone.

As for the iPhone 13, a 3227mAh (12.41 Wh) at 3.84V unit made by Sunwoda Electronic Co., Ltd is seated inside. A new square-shaped Taptic Engine and the prominently labeled A15 Bionic chipset can be seen here. The smaller Face ID module helped reduce the size of the notch.

As for the internals, we can’t help but applaud Apple for such a neat arrangement inside. Also worthy of mention is how Apple actually makes screen repair and battery replacement easy. Just remove the two Pentalobe screws and take off the screen. Anyways, the smaller Face ID module, logic boards, and better shielding of components are noticeable here.

Third-party repairs are not an Apple thing entirely!

In contrast to the easy display and battery swap experience, third-party replacement parts do bring up the usual Apple non-genuine part warning in settings. Does this all defeat the easiness here? A definite YES. We really hope Apple comes in support of the right to third-party repair to better improve customer experience and that’s only actually going to reduce e-waste.

DO NOT MISS: Apple is doing everything to stop leaks

With that being said, iFixit too recently did a live teardown of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The disassembly put light on a possible battery repair. Swapping the battery on the iPhone 13 Pro Max with another genuine Apple unit threw up the “Important Battery Message” saying “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery”. This isn’t a user-friendly approach on Apple’s part and just makes things more convoluted to the end-user.

Speaking of which, a photo from @1nsane_dev  is doing the rounds on Twitter showcasing the rearranged guts of the iPhone 13 in full glory.

Apple at the California streaming event reasoned the switch to a diagonal camera layout for the iPhone 13 line to be the improved sensor-shift stabilized camera sensors requiring the internals to be rearranged. As you can see, things have been organized much better this time making the interior of the phone look cleaner and nicer compared to the iPhone 12.

Things have been neatly and smartly arranged to accommodate the larger battery and upgraded camera system. Towards the right, we have the new large battery with the motherboard to the left and the also notice the A15 Bionic chipset here. The smaller Face ID module sits at the top with all of the flex cables shielded out below the same. The great Tapric Engine also got a size reduction as well.

And yes, nobody really cares about how the innards of a phone look like but Apple has gone the extra mile as usual with immaculate attention to detail and that is nothing short of impressive.
