iPhone 7 Teardown Reveals 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM and a 1960mAh Battery

By -

While iFixit has published its teardown of the iPhone 7 Plus, we now look to Chipworks for its teardown of the iPhone 7. Just as we mentioned with the larger model, Apple keeps certain iPhone specifications close to its chest. These include the amount of RAM and the battery capacity - and these have been revealed by the teardown.

The Chipworks iPhone 7 teardown is still ongoing, however, it has published details on the RAM module and battery capacity of the smartphone, apart from details on various other chips on board.

The teardown reveals that the iPhone 7 sports 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM, manufactured by Samsung. To recall, the iFixit teardown of the iPhone 7 Plus revealed a Samsung-made 3GB LPDDR4 RAM module.

As for the battery capacity, the teardown found the iPhone 7 sports a 1960mAh battery, which is significantly larger than the 1715mAh battery found on the iPhone 6s, and marginally larger than the 1810mAh battery found on the iPhone 6.

Just to put that in perspective, the iFixit teardown of the iPhone 7 Plus revealed the smartphone bears a 2900mAh battery. That's significantly larger than the 2715mAh battery in the iPhone 6s Plus, but slightly smaller than the 2915mAh battery on the iPhone 6 Plus.

The Chipworks teardown of the iPhone 7 also found two separate suppliers for storage - both SK Hynix and Toshiba produce 128GB storage chips for the iPhone 7. This matches iFixit's teardown, which found a Toshiba-made 128GB storage ship on board the iPhone 7 Plus. Chipworks also found a Intel PMB9943 Baseband Processor onboard, thought to be the Intel XMM7360 modem that has been rumoured for a while. This is a significant difference from the iPhone 7 Plus, or at least the unit that iFixit had torn down, which was found to sport a Qualcomm MDM9465M modem.

Chipworks' teardowns concentrate on the components of the device, unlike iFixit, which also looks at build and repairability. We'll thus have to wait for iFixit's teardown of the iPhone 7 before we learn about these facets.

Taking forward iFixit iPhone 7 Plus teardown's findings however, we can expect Apple to have used similar dust and water protection techniques on the iPhone 7, including rubber gaskets for the Lightning connector and SIM tray. We'll have to wait and see to confirm however.

iPhone 8 Ion-X Glass Production Delay Yield Issues Shipments Revised KGI Kuo

By -
iPhone 8 rumours are so contradictory these days, it's hard to believe what's true and what's not. However, when the Intel comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, you can't help but presume it's true. In a fresh note to his investors, Kuo claims that the iPhone 8 is facing several production issues, indicating that the production cycle won't begin before October or November. Also, an image leak gives us a look at the purported Ion-X glass back of the iPhone 8, while also divulging more details about the material. 9to5Mac got hold of this report, and the note suggests that Kuo is worried about yield issues with Touch ID, the 3D front camera, and even component parts to build the 'newly-designed' iPhone 8 hardware. He fears that the 'worst case scenario' could come true for the iPhone 8, and production ramp could only begin by October to November. Because of this, he is compelled to revise his shipment predictions to 80 to 90 million un
