  • We’re back after a much needed catnap! But superheroes never sleep—and Creative Electron has saved the day with this neat X-ray.

  • What can we learn? As usual, the dark bits are the dense, often magnetic parts of the phone, namely:

  • OIS magnets on the lower camera, earpiece, and loudspeakers, as well as the teeny Taptic Engine.

  • Perhaps most interestingly, we see the MagSafe ring has been miniaturized ... kinda.

  • The standard MagSafe circumference doesn't quite fit in this pint-sized phone, so the right and left edges of the circle have been lopped off.

  • But what are those dense spots in the upper sensor array? Time to investigate.
