The 2020 iPhone SE is a resurrected iPhone 8, that goes without saying. But what are the implications of that fact in terms of reusing the old model for spare parts? We had a dismantling of the SE since yesterday, but a new one that we have here is useful in a different way, on its premise, but also because it is in English, which is a little more fluent than Chinese.
So yes, dismantling the SE is the usual thing, it requires the removal of the two screws at the bottom and a slight action of the heat gun before the prying tools come into play. Inside, the design is identical to the 8, as already stated, and the main difference is the battery connector, which means that the batteries are not interchangeable. But why would you want to stick an old battery in a new phone or take apart a new SE to harvest the battery of your 8, really?
The screens are interchangeable, that’s for sure, although once again the situation where you have an iPhone 8 with a functional screen but something more broken seems less likely than having an iPhone 8 with a broken screen in a box in the drawer.
Now, on the other hand, if you have an iPhone 8 with a broken screen, you can harvest almost anything to fix the new SE, if for some reason it’s not covered under warranty. Which brings us to the key conclusion of this teardown: You can take the rear camera out of an iPhone 8 and put it in the SE and it will work.
Imagine the problem that our own Ricky would have saved himself, if that were the case remotely with the parts and pieces of the Galaxy Fold and, say, a Galaxy S9 +. Okay, technically, it wasn’t the actual camera that broke in its case, but the glass cover. Which makes our cheeky plugin from that article even more cheeky, but it’s a fascinating read, check it out.
