  • Next up, we pull out one of the smallest daughterboards we've ever seen. It's only a little more than a simple USB-C board.

  • After that harrowing opening procedure, it's nice to see one repairability win in the 6P vs 5X comparison: a USB port mounted on a small and inexpensive daughterboard, rather than soldered onto the motherboard.

  • The front side of the daughterboard features some control hardware and spring contacts for the LTE antenna...

  • Texas Instruments TUSB320 USB type-C port controller

  • AKM Semiconductor AK8789 hall sensor

  • Skyworks SKYxxxx antenna tuner (likely)

  • ...And on the back we spy one of the 6P's three noise canceling microphones and a couple more contacts, for the vibrating motor and speaker.
