Apple iPhone 6s

  1. iPhone 6s - Summary 01

    Despite the great similarities to the predecessor model iPhone 6, we noticed a few negative points. First, Apple uses additional adhesive strips to fix the display to the frame. Since we couldn't find any disadvantages in the predecessor model regarding the adhesive strips, it seems reasonable to assume that the additional adhesive is only meant to keep curious people from opening the smartphone. In order to remove the main board, a very small pair of pliers or a miniature hexagon key is needed, which probably isn't available in every household.

    In addition, there was a merging of standby and mute/volume cable set, which can also only be replaced after the main board has been removed. This not only increases the repair time, but also means that if one component fails, functional components are replaced at the same time.

    All in all, the ease of repair is still good, but has somewhat decreased in comparison to the iPhone 6.

    The following points have come to our attention positively:

    • Compared to other manufacturers, the display can be removed relatively easily. However, it is more complex than the iPhone 6.
    • When the display is removed, access to the entire interior is made possible.
    • Replacing the battery is very easy, as the adhesive strips don't tear as quickly when removed.

    We noticed the following negative points:

    • The display is glued, but still not waterproof.
    • A miniature hexagon key is needed to remove the main board.
    • Many screws are used.

    From the user's point of view, the new, curved front glass could turn out to be a "backward step": Due to its exposed position, the display is now even more sensitive to damage from a fall.
