There is no doubt that the iPhone 14 is the biggest innovation this year. Many new features were added that tech enthusiasts around the world were eager to see. The design is sleek and modern, and it has a lot of power under the hood.

Apple announced the iPhone 14 on 8 September 2022, and customers began receiving them on 16 September. Although some lucky people received it earlier than ordinary users.  The new iPhone 14 offers a host of new features, including a more powerful camera, a better display, and more storage. Overall, it is an impressive upgrade from the previous model, which is sure to appeal to customers.

As a tech company and enthusiast, REWA Tech has already received iPhone 14 as well as other versions. With this teardown, we will take a first look at the internal components of an iPhone 14 and compare them with the iPhone 13.

Apple's iPhone 14 comes in four different models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Display

In terms of display size, the iPhone 14 is identical to the iPhone 13 with some slight changes like different flex cables. While the resolution is 2532 by 1170 pixels at 460 pixels per inch, it is still better than iPhone 13.

Battery

Apple's iPhone 14 battery has a larger capacity than iPhone 13's. Compared to iPhone 13, iPhone 14 uses a 3279 mAh battery, while iPhone 13 uses a 3227 mAh battery and the battery life is also longer than ever.

Motherboard

It was widely expected that Apple would use the Bionic 16 chip in its iPhone 14. However, the Bionic 16 chip is only available on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Therefore, if you wish to experience the premium feel, you will have to spend more.

However, the iPhone 14 still has an L-shaped motherboard, although there have been some slight changes.

Camera

iPhone 14 features an advanced camera on both the back and the front, as well as great optical image stabilization.

In addition to a larger camera lens, the iPhone 14 has a different flex cable than the iPhone 13.

Front Camera

There are some wonderful new features on the iPhone 14 with its 12MP Ultra Wide front camera. Despite the fact that the front-camera structure of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 is almost identical in terms of repair. However, the iPhone 14's camera is better designed than the iPhone 13.

Is iPhone 14 easy to repair? 

It's good news for technicians that the iPhone 14 has a removable back glass this year. It is now easier for repair shops to repair an iPhone without having to disassemble the front glass.

Is iPhone 14 same as iPhone 13?

The iPhone 14 comes with some new features, but there are also a lot of similarities with the iPhone 13, such as the A15 Bionic chip, the same display size, etc. The main differences are the weight, thickness, battery life, and improved camera.

The iPhone 14 and 14 plus are equipped with removable back glass. You can now easily remove the back glass from the iPhone 14 to repair it.

The Bottom Line

While the iPhone 14 comes with lots of new features, the iPhone 14 Pro variant is the best way to get a premium feel from the device. 

The iPhone 14 starts at $799 with some modest improvements such as a better camera, a longer battery life, a car-crash detection feature, and emergency contact via satellite. Although we hope you won't need the last two features. 

There is no doubt that Apple is the most innovative tech company in the world. Each year, they release new iPhones that are not only technologically advanced but also user-friendly and stylish. Many loyal Apple customers constantly look forward to getting their hands on the latest iPhone. Apple's success can never quite be replicated by other companies even when they release similar products. This is because Apple has mastered the art of innovation, and continues to set the standard for what consumers expect from technology products.

On September 8, Apple announced the new iPhone 14, and customers began receiving them on September 16. There are several improvements to the iPhone 14 pro, including a new design, improved cameras, enhanced dynamic island, and more powerful processors. An A16 Bionic chip powering it is the fastest ever found in a smartphone.

A lot of new and enhanced features are only available on iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. In the iPhone 14 pro and Pro Max, Apple has introduced a dynamic island, which is a wonderful feature for tech enthusiasts.

Phone Opening Method:

Many YouTubers laud Apple for making it easy to open the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, but the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are difficult to open. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are easily accessible from the back, which is good news for third-party repair shops. On the other hand, iPhone 14 Pro versions cannot be opened from the back. The display must be removed to repair the phone, which is risky for most repair shops. Apple will charge $499 for replacing the back glass, or you can use the Refox laser machine to repair it.

However, you can easily and effectively open it with our REFOX RS50 Mobile Phone Opener & Clamp Fixture.

Dynamic Island

Apple always has something innovative to offer with its iPhone pro models, and this year was no exception. Notch has been replaced by Dynamic island, which appears modern and innovative.
