Next we turn our attention to Apple’s much-discussed Liquid Retina display.

The XR’s LCD is 0.3” larger across than the XS’s AMOLED, but it’s also thicker and heavier—as is expected from an LCD.

The need for a backlight means an LCD display assembly will always necessitate a slightly larger form factor than an equivalent AMOLED assembly.

As far as we can tell, this thicker display assembly is what has pushed the Lightning connector off-axis.

Getting back into the case, we dig out the wireless charging coil for a closer look.

We’ve struck copper! Copper’s lower resistance (compared to FPC in the X) should mean faster charging with less heat.
