Inside look at the iPhone 16e by Rewa Technology
The iPhone 16e has undergone its initial disassembly, revealing several noteworthy components including Apple’s proprietary C1 modem, an enhanced battery capacity, and a notable absence of MagSafe.
As the weekend arrives, new owners around the world are receiving their long-awaited iPhone 16e. It didn’t take long for teardown footage to appear online.
Rewa Technology has undertaken a detailed examination of Apple’s latest model. Their concise video review runs just under five and a half minutes but offers valuable insights into the inner workings of the iPhone 16e.
The disassembly confirms that the battery size has increased; while its predecessor, the iPhone 16, is equipped with a battery rated at 3,561 mAh, the newer model boasts an impressive capacity of 4,005 mAh.
Apple claims that redesign efforts have resulted in this larger battery space; however, Rewa hints that this is primarily due to a reduced camera component size.
Continuing with its design philosophy from earlier models, the iPhone 16e employs an electrochemical adhesive that can be dissolved using low-voltage electric current. Therefore, when replacing batteries in this model, users can utilize either a USB-C charger or a standard nine-volt power source to assist in removing it easily.
A closer inspection reveals additional key components such as:
the logic board paired with Apple’s A18 chip and their newly developed C1 cellular modem.
Rewa observes that while servicing may prove smoother in certain respects because processors and motherboards come as one unit for replacement purposes — removing the A18 chip itself could present challenges at depots where repairs are necessary.
