iPhone 15 Teardown - Why is nobody talking about this?!
The iPhone 15 battery has some new chemistry... Visit kiwico.com/jerryrig for 50% off your first month of KiwiCo with code JERRYRIG I'm a huge fan of recycled materials. And being able to reuse the cobalt for ALL of the new iPhone 15 lineup is incredibly awesome. Nice work apple. I would love to see other companies use as many recycled materials as Apple does on their new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 pro smartphones.

That was one of, if not THE most satisfying battery pull tab removal I've seen (and heard) on this channel.
The EU has mandated user-removable batteries in all cellphones no later than year 2027. In three years time, there will be no need anymore for glue solvent, pull tabs and all other tricks&traps to replace a weak battery. When, in 2007, Steve Jobs glued - for the first time ever - a battery inside his new magic phone, nobody would have thought that would have been necessary for the federated Government of the 27 European countries to intervene - in order to reverse such blatant abuse of the customers...
It’s actually the longest one so far on this channel.
Bro it's uncomfortable
About a full minute 😊 It's about as satisfying as a long-take in the Extraction movies.
Facts unintentional asmr everyone else who found it annoying would probably get mad if someone was tapping on something beside them 😂😂 go check if you have bipolar disorder
A software locked back panel is outrageous lol Many likes 🙏 tyvm
yap thats why I will never get an iphone. The apple anti consumer mentality is insane. I want the phone to be mine and repair it as I see fit for longer operation.
I completly agree, but another youtuber did mange how to fix the software locking , yet it is very complicated.
Much better than the one that cannot be removed if broken...
@@lukabosnjak3829you know the iphone 15'e back pannel is extremely brittle right? it shatters as soon as it's dropped and spews glass everywhere, removing it will be hideous
@@scorthyn But I mean, us consumers are idiots and can't repair anything without breaking it. Apple is just protecting us from breaking our own devices
You know its Apple when the phone literally has a dedicated space for SIM card storage expansion, but instead they fill it with a pointless metal block.
Not the same thing but the S24 and S24+ are sold with the Exynos chip anywhere outside of USA and they have worse battery life, performance and get slightly toasty sometimes plus the photos pretty diffrent.
@@petermikus2363yeah idk why so many people wanna lick the boots of one company over another. Being a fan of competition means I never lose out 🤷♂️
@petermikus2363 we do not care about what samsung does. Samsung and Apple have decided to suck eachother off. Watch them remove sim cards in a couple of years
I would love to see a comparison video between the internals of a early model iPhone or Android and a current version to see now much tech as changed, also the recycled cobalt is very cool indeed cobalt mines are brutal to say the least...
Go see how bad a Tesla battery affects the environment but everyone still buys one and thinks they are making a difference. The amount of resources used and population 1 battery causes will take many, MANY years to balance out! People need to stop buying into this whole "green" BS!
That ribbon pulling was satisfying as heck, thanks Zack you filled my satisfaction meter🔥
That's my new ringtone 😂
Same😂
@@DeeDee-uw7guI was looking for this comment 😂
All this satisfaction is then ruined by all scratchy bits on his videos. And this is not neat picking. It's a genuine thing and lots of other people have it. I love his content, but the sounds of scratching metals make my skin crawl and I genuinely avoid watching some Jerry's videos because of that.
@@Mateus01234 The scratching can be a bit harsh on the ears lol
4:26 I love how each and every one of us sits patiently listening to the sound of the pull tab lmao
Wait, people like that sound? It's up there with nails on chalkboard in terms of awfulness
@@pronto185 For real, I hate the sound.
@@pronto185 I love it. It's one of the main reasons why I watch these videos, actually.
8min video just so that youtube shows ads before the video of which 1min30 are actual ads and 2min are pulling adhesive. huge waste of time, i didn't even see anything worth the clickbait title in the video.
I skipped.
that battery adhesive literally is shepard tone 💀
that battery ribbon auditory bliss is what I didn't know I needed until now. absolutely brilliant
* Trying to get a snack in the fridge at 2AM * The Kitchen door : 5:02
That battery ribbon pull was heavenly. Thanks for not cutting it short.
Those long battery pull tabs from 4:33 to 4:47 & from 5:02 to 5:33 is _so_ ASMR inducing/triggering! We need more like this everywhere!
that's great service to humanity right there 👏
I gotta make this into a ringtone.
Absolutely hate that sound 😭
or, they could just use a weaker adhesive or screw the battery in like laptops do and make it significantly easier to remove the battery
Yeah, i had to skip that part. started giving me existential dread feelings lol
Your voice is full of peace. Peace and hardwarde teardown, best combo ever.
That pulltab was satisfying 😂
Forbidden cheese
Kinda made me anxious
not in two years when you probably want to replace the battery and try to pull the tab but it brakes every time with the slightest pull.
That "Nice." in the end cracked me up..
@@TobiasDettingeror even crashed into small junk (or dust?) pieces
That pinball table actually looks really cool
I wouldn't have wanted it as a kid, I wouldn't have been able to put it together and would have broken it
The rubber rings usually have a sensing switch, and an actuator electromagnet that sends the ball back from where it come. May be this is a toy version and it has the visuals without the functionality...
@@coastaku1954I would have loved it as a kid! And probably still would now
I used to have an older version of that and I may even still have one or two pegs from it, and yes it was cool
And then boasting about efforts to sustainability 😬😬
5:01 Shorts video of this part will be viral.
>my stomach as soon as we start cuddling on the couch
@@I_enjoy_some_things ayoo
Its true
It’s like jet engine sound
@@I_enjoy_some_thingsWHAT
Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Like that process of removing the battery!
*_9 year old me: Dad, Can I help you in fixing our car?_* My Dad: 03:54
“No you have to hold the flashlight, but don’t turn it on in the car at night or else I’ll get a ticket” 😂
I swear that battery glue is the dream of every pizza commercial
Loved the sound of the battery tape being removed. It is good to see that Apple is getting into recycling, as well as reparability, although the pricing needs a little work.
It's just eyewash. Every year tens if not hundreds of millions of still perfect working Apple devices are being needlessly sent to the scrap heap, simply because of being icloud locked.
@@zahranswhere on earth did you get that stat from?? 😂 not to mention the ones that ARE sent to scrap for being broken or locked are usually from people that steal them, and not apple
@@fake_butters Where did I state it was Apple itself which is doing this? Sure, some are obtained as stolen goods. But a vast majority are simply the iphones, macbooks, ipads etc. which have been discarded by it's original owners when they upgrade to a newer model. It was really eyepopping to see on a right to repair video I saw a few months back, numerous plastic containers filled to the brim with perfectly good iPhones which cannot be utilised once again as they have all being activation locked & either bricked or potentially bricked
Thanks for leaving in those pull tab sounds. So satisfying!
5:13 Please Jerry make a video of 10 hours of best glue sounds ....
It's really amazing if you think about it how this phone is so amazingly modular and beautifully repairable if Apple just pulled their head out of their ass just a tiny bit.
Too bad no one can actually change the parts but them, but they wont change just a singlke part, theyll just charge you for the whole board
We can only dream..
Internally iPhone is so well designed.. But their uptightnees to keep their walled garden is absolutely disgusting. If is well priced I don't mind but their prices is absolutely ridiculous.
It would be a thief's dream iphone as well, there's a reason why they go out of their to software lock components
@@ayol1011their price isnt ridiculous, all the phones flagships and are supported a minimum of 6 years; divide the price by the amount of OS years of support and it turns out cheaper than other android flagship for the same price, not to mention they offer the most comprehensive customer support and most widespread, as wellbas best privacy even the fbi cannot access iphones without the user's consent, what is overpriced are their accessories
Good channel this. The only one on KZhead that I know of that gets properly into the industrial design of hardware.
Thanks for the ribbon-pulling focus on sound. Best part!
That pull tab was rhythmical and satisfying as heck! Absolutely the best I've heard!
It was not. I saw the comments and went to listen and that actually made me cringe so hard
This is the first video where I am more interested in the product, advertised by the sponsor, than the actual product of the video. This pinball machine looks very cool, you should make a separate video on it.
nice alt account, botted liked comment
@@beaualoevveh?
Seriously, I wish KiwiCo was around when I was a kid. Wouldn't stop me from ordering some now!
@@beaualoevvi disliked this comment
@@beaualoevvAgree. Thank goodness that I skip any promotional content.
zack know very well what we want to see and what audio we love to hear, love you buddy....
Couldn’t have made a better VO decision in pausing for the duration of that ribbon pull. You’re awesome!
Value Oriented?
This should be trending already! Best pull tab sound ever!
Legends say he is still pulling the battery pull tab to this day 😭😂😂😂
We need 10h video about it
😂😂😂
I’m glad you’re taking the time to consider other phones. Great time to pass along some information about Samsung (and Motorola’s) flip phones directly from an AT&T representative (not me, an acquaintance of mine). He told me tell everyone to beware of those phones . They are trendy and cute and oh, the click when it closes! But after about a year a line develops across the screen where the phone bends, and Samsung and Motorola give their customers hell every time they try to use their warranty to repair or replace it. It’s a mess!
Pulling those pull tabs are always the best part of iPhone teardowns. So satisfying.
New satisfying sounds unlocked, pulling battery adhesive strips. Definitely my new favorite over peeling plastic film. That one is a tactile thing, this one is auditorial 😮😊
i dont know why, but it sounds so satisfying 4:40 😅
The battery pull tab was really satisfying to listen to. That made my day a lot better 😄😄
Enjoyed every bit of that pull tab action. So satisfying.
I LOVE hearing the magic pull tabs deadass my favorite part of the teardown
5:27 aliens music🔥😂😂
It'd be interesting to try connecting a sim tray with a sim card inside and see if the iphone recognizes it. I remember this happening when plugging a dual sim one to a normal sim slot
if i remember correctly it does, someone put an eu phones sim tray inside the us model 14 pro and i’m pretty sure it worked fine, they just put a piece of plastic in the slot
Love your teardowns man
The moment of silence for the pull tabs always gets me 😮😂
5:33 that rlly makes cheer and applause for having magical battery pull tabs were removed successfully including the battery :)
@ 4:56 holy ASMR. What word would one describe this beautiful sound?
The best crunchy ASMR ever this year
All i know is that you made apple look twice with that glass breaking on the back 😂
4:31 and 5:02 , so satisfying One of the rarest times when pull tags dont break.
Very glad to see how much of the components are made of recycled
Love that sound of the rubber stretching from 8.00 onwards
I love how jerry was just too tired of the celsius vs. fahrenheit battle so he just used kelvin, knowing that nobody has a clue how kelvin works
It's not hard, you just add 273 to Celsius.....
@@basmourik234 +
Fun fact: Kelvin is based on Celsius
.15
Whole world uses C°
Software locking the back glass panel is crazy!
Apple : this is bizinesss
As someone who’s never seen inside an iPhone, i’m surprised how modular it is and how many screws and ribbon cables there are, i had assumed it would all be tightly integrated on a single board with minimal cables / connectors. Also thought the battery would take up more space than it does and the circuit boards less space.
Watching those battery pull taps is so satisfying .
2:27 5k or 6k Kelvin, you mean like liquid tungsten temperatures? I think your numbers might be a bit off there buddy. By like an order of magnitude.
the tab pull is just too satisfying
I would love to see the new Xiaomi 14 pro tear down, great video again man..
your voice is so calming man!
Is it just me, or ceramic/glass composite is way cooler then Titanium… Hoenstly I would love to see a phone frame made out of vanadium myself, that would be cool.
I want my phone to be made out of weapons grade plutonium
@@RealUlrichLeland😂
Waiting for Kryptonite here
Bro Apple already owns modern slaves that spent hours trying to Mine precious titanium for a stupid phone they’re probably only going to use for a year or three at most. To go even further vanadium, they’re gonna hire all of the people in Congo.
Oh not hire I meant force them
The tension build-up on the battery strap pull was intense! I laughed out loud with relief when it popped out.
I love how literally all of the comments are just about the battery pull tab, I have never commented on either of your videos Zack until now 😂 that pulltab was amazing.
I love the video even more, with the pulling stick on the battery sooo satysfying
6:23 wow now they have the whole useless space for nothing inside. Can we have the 3.5mm jack back ?
"courage"
Nope How will they sell their airpods then
Everytime this guy's video drops, the people at the phone company's heartbeats goes up 🌚
Extra satsifying ribbon removal, thanks for no background noise at that time❤️
pull tap sound so much smooth and calming 😢😢😢😢
5:41 this sound kill anyone else ☠️
Man I click so fast when I get your notifications 🤘🏼
Go from a satisfying battery tab pull to a harsh scratch on the aluminum frame of the battery. Nice
the pull tab at 4:20 and all the sounds coming from it are worth more than the phone itself
4:40 so satisfying 😂
4:55 Jerry mentions Apple recycling. They are using "recycled" cobalt, not "recycling" cobalt, two different things. That said, it's good that a big company is using recycled materials. even though they are a significant source of e-waste.
makes no difference
Stretching sound of the adhesive is so soothing 😊
That ASMR is different. Satisfaction at its best
Why the heck the 5:29 pulling tab sound is irritating yet satisfying 😂😂
I was quite nervous the whole time
That satisfying sound of battery glue 😁
4:30. I’m so glad they didn’t cut any of this part out. I played it twice.
I love the sound of a well engineered pull tab.
Even more satisfying 5:08
4:46 Nice
I’ve been an Android user for the last 15 years and recently changed to the iPhone 15 pro max and it was a great decision as the battery is incredible
that magic pulltab ASMR is really make me calm.. thank zack..
4:35 Hysterically funny and torturous at the same time !
Still deserves a really low repairability score like 0/10 because of parts pairing and software locks.
Do you really think ifixit would do that to an iPhone?! lmao... more like 6/10 whilst giving 1/10-3/10 for motorolas and samsungs...
Jerry inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...
@@VIK_1903What? Dude it deserves nothing. 3 different screw types of different lengths, one which is proprietary, and software locked parts that don't fucking need to be makes it impossible to repair
@@TheLongDon and yes, it makes it most impossible for it to be a black market for parts and such. I like it. Sorry you’re frustrated, but that’s why they have android. Bye Felicia.
@@sammyjammy6647Sorry to burst your bubble but there's a black market for iPhones
The majic pull tape taking moment is very satisfying
Jerry trying out the iPhone for bit. Thats something I never thought I would hear. Good luck.
Going to the dark side for a couple of months! Pity! On the other hand that pull tab extravaganza was 10/10! Nice work Jerry!😁👍
Oh pull yourself together and stop that nonsense, we're all some kind sheep!..
I find it funny that the Backglass on the 15 Pro Models are not software blocked anymore which Phone Repair Guru had shown, but the Backglass on the Base 15 Models is still software locked. Like they aren't even trying to hide the fact that they want you to get the Pro Models anymore...
They were never hiding that they wanted you to go for the pro models. They're more expensive and more profitable, duh..
i can goon sleep by listening those battery pulltaps ASMR!!
These videos are the best!
I'm interested to see you using the iphone for a period of time, but didn't you say you would also use the flip 5 long term to see how it holds up? just curious if your no longer doing that for some reason
As much as Jerry hates this year's base model colors... I pesonally felt 15's green to be the best green(and almost the best color) iPhone has gotten in a really really long time.
I guess you didn’t see the iPhone 13 pro green
13pm green is wonderful.
@@anuragj8025 yeah, it was actually green
So sad Jerry is such a huge Android Fanboy
@@DerPfoertner how is that sad?🤔
Those sticky tape pulls were insane. Sonic art 😊
That sound was so satisfying.
7:40, does this mean that you have given up the Z Flip 5? Or will that be the other device they you are thinking of using still? I absolutely love mine after about 2 months. It's now officially my 4th favorite phone of all time (behind the Note 4 and S21 Ultra, and Sidekick 3).
Nah he said its temporarily, we all know he doesn't like apple as we all should, z flip is his main phone
am i the only one finds that pulling sound is so soothing and satisfying? i enjoyed that part so much and keep repeating it i think i am a psychopath 😭😱😭
It's a lovely sound.
Thanks for the ribbon pulling sound. I'll use it as a ringtone 👍
This video tingles the areas of my brain to a whole new level.
5:18 sounds like when you continually rub against a guitar string
Whenever i see a company brag about how much recycled stuff they use i typically think: "Yeah, either you are greenwashing or the recycled stuff is cheaper to use anyways."
Or theyre recycling the working phones they send for "repair" that never get repaired just replaced😂
Never understood why they charge full premium price for recicled materials. I mean if I pay 1500 + for a phone i expect it to have premium new materials not be made from washed up plastic straws😂
@@johnbroke2336surprisingly, recycling materials costs more than harvesting , since you have to recycle the material and then harvest, instead of just buying the material new outright
@@johnbroke2336 But since those straws function EXACTLY THE SAME, wouldn’t you want that? Or are you just selfish?
It actually cost more to mine the materials from existing devices both financially and in time it takes, space is needed for the very specialised equipment, extra staff and energy etc. Apple have designed and developed the equipment and process needed to keep it in house so very innovative.
3 days late but this is an amazing teardown video. Looks like the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 plus is a little more durable than the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max on bending.
Excellent work agent 47
