iFixit Teardown Confirms iPhone Air’s Battery-Centric Design, Bendgate Resistance

Following its customary practice, iFixit has conducted a comprehensive teardown of the newly released iPhone Air, revealing significant design shifts from previous models. The analysis highlights a striking emphasis on battery integration, with the power cell occupying roughly two-thirds of the device’s internal space.
A key finding indicates that the iPhone Air’s internal battery is identical to the one found in Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe battery pack, allowing for direct interchangeability. This design choice not only maximizes power capacity but also addresses past durability concerns, particularly those related to the ‘Bendgate’ issue. By clustering critical components like the logic board at the top of the phone and fortifying the middle with a resilient battery, Apple has engineered the iPhone Air to be less susceptible to bending under pressure.
