We're starting to see a trend here. Getting the next layer out of this case requires—you guessed it—heaps of heat, a plethora of prying, and a pair of pliers.
-
We immediately notice that this generation's logic board is more ... goopier ... than the board that emerged from the wreckage of the first AirPod fiasco—probably to help with water resistance.
-
Finally, a beacon in the darkness—there's still a modular charging port!
-
... although if you tunnel this far into the case, there's a good chance you now have more broken parts than just the charging port.
-
Beneath that shiny liquid-resistant coating, we make out some chips:
-
Broadcom BCM59356A2KUBG wireless charging module
-
STMicroelectronics STM32L476MG 32-Bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller w/ 1 Mb flash

TI 87A6FP
