Ifixit often carefully disassembles the latest Apple products, but this time, the maintenance resource website has set its own tools against other tools by disassembling Apple's new iPhone self-service maintenance tools Apple's official iPhone repair tool is now regarded by them as an apple product disassembly and released on the YouTube channel of ifixit, which allows people to see what is inside the tool for removing the user's display screen, battery and heated display screen.
The video starts with the disassembly of the display pressing device. It has a very smooth operating handle. Ifixit describes it as "flying gracefully like a swan every time you slide". The reason why the handle is stable is that it uses ball bearings. When the press moves up and down, the ball bearings move on a circular track like a conveyor belt. It also houses an easily removable AA sized lithium battery, which is housed in a C-shaped housing to power a small control panel to activate the countdown screen.
The display maintenance device has a checkerboard type rubber frame, which is pressed on the mobile phone to seal the new waterproof glue. Each part of the frame has a different spring force, but the strongest force is reserved for the corners.
About Apple The video disassembly of the official maintenance tools was carried out on the tools purchased by ifixit. According to the price set on Apple's self-service website, the cost of the three tools is about $587.35. Of course, users who want to try to repair their phones don't have to buy all these tools, because Apple will send them as rental kits for $49, but that doesn't mean everything is OK.
Sean Hollister of the verge personally tested the tool and found how difficult apple is for those who want to make simple repairs themselves. In addition to the $49 rental fee and the $69 new battery (the same amount you paid in the apple store), Apple also asked for a $1200 deposit to ensure that the 79 pound repair tools it sent back were safely returned to the company in the box.
This device is surprisingly over designed, but it is also very well designed, although the other press for the battery is less impressive and "boring", according to the ifixit presenter. They described the battery press as a "polished litigation prevention system", implying that its main function is to reduce the chances of users' puncture and battery fire. But all it does is press a silicone roller onto the battery with precise force, and make it just enough to stick to the new battery.
The third tool is the heated display removal fixture, which is the most complex of the three tools in the video. The host of ifixit described it as "weird" according to its appearance, because it is equipped with a white power cord that does not match the appearance. This tool is equipped with a "hot bag", which is basically a metal frame for the [iphone] to be opened( https://apple.pvxt.net/c/1251234/435400/7639?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fcn%2Fiphone%2F ) Prepare corresponding dimensions. If you press the hot bag into the heating display removal tool, it will activate a switch to start heating, but it will only heat when it detects that a mobile phone is actually installed in it. The host also found that the LCD screen in front of the device is technically a touch screen, but there is no touch option during operation.
