Sometimes the Dutch beat everyone else to the punch.
Dutch repair site FixjeiPhone today shared a teardown of the iPhone XS, providing the first look inside the 5.8-inch model.
A side-by-side comparison shot with the iPhone X reveals that the internal layout of the iPhone XS has not changed significantly, with the most obvious difference being a new single-cell L-shaped battery with a capacity of 2,658 mAh.
The battery remains L-shaped in the iPhone XS, but is organized in a two-cell configuration as opposed to a single lithium-ion battery pack.
While the iPhone XS’s battery has around 2.2 percent less capacity than the 2,716 mAh battery in the iPhone X, Apple says the iPhone XS gets up to 30 minutes longer battery life than the iPhone X per charge cycle, presumably due to efficiency gains from the A12 Bionic chip and other components.
The video teardown, which can also be viewed with English subtitles, indicates that the display is a bit harder to remove due to stronger seals that help the iPhone XS achieve its improved IP68-rated water resistance.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
