| [* black] We have slain the giant. The iPhone 6 Plus earned a respectable seven out of ten, an improvement over the iPhone 5s. Here's why: | |
| [* green] Continuing the trend from the iPhone 5 series, the display assembly comes out of the phone first, simplifying screen repairs. | |
| [* green] The battery is straightforward to access. Removing it requires a proprietary pentalobe screwdriver and knowledge of the adhesive removal technique, but is not difficult. | |
| [* green] The fingerprint sensor cable has been re-routed, fixing a significant repairability issue with the iPhone 5s and making the phone much safer to open. (On the 5s, the cable is easily torn if a user is not careful while opening the phone.) | |
| - | [* red] The iPhone still uses proprietary Pentalobe screws on the exterior, requiring a specialty screwdriver to remove. |
