The teardown video compares the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 11, and while there are some similarities in the overall design of the phone’s build, there are some key differences in the updated design. The logic board is larger than the 11, mainly due to the additional 5G capabilities that require an additional chip. This 5G modem has been identified as Qualcomm X55. We had heard rumors that Apple was going to use the modem made by Qualcomm and, as Apple confirmed in the keynote presentation, it ended up with its own 5G antenna designs, hence the slimmer form factor.
Although the logic board is larger, there are some items that Apple downsized to slim down the overall dimensions of the iPhone 12. The OLED screen assembly is thinner, the Taptic engine assembly is significantly smaller, and the capacity is found to be The iPhone 12’s battery is 15% less than that of the iPhone 11 at 2,815 mAh. All of this makes the iPhone 12 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the iPhone 11.
On the back panel, we see the MagSafe magnetic assembly well. The ring is made entirely of magnets that line up with MagSafe fittings to easily align magnets with the new MagSafe charger.
