As we scrape the bottom of the phone we find some tasty display chips, and a barrel of tiny cables in the body.

It looks like the rear glass is still sandwiched between the camera bump and the frame with dozens of tiny welds.

Despite the many improvements this phone received, it's got the same iPhone 8/iPhone X back glass construction, meaning one tiny crack calls for a whole chassis replacement.
