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.
