However, there&#8217;s more than meets the eye. As seen in the video, the new device features a <strong>redesigned frame that makes it easier to remove the rear glass panel<\/strong>. This significant improvement promises to considerably reduce repair difficulty in case of breakage. This feature had already been incorporated into the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models and is now making its way to the Pro range of the iPhone 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"iPhone 15 Pro Max Teardown: Big Phone, Microscopic Scratches\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hmQHgWNAg24?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing with the teardown, one of the most notable aspects, likely to catch the attention of photography enthusiasts, is the incorporation of the new Telephoto lens with a tetraprismatic system, which allows for a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/why-camera-iphone-15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5x optical zoom, as Apple explained<\/a>. A lens that, as we can see, <strong>is positioned horizontally, not vertically like in other phones<\/strong>. This decision allows Apple to maintain the same design for the bottom section of the phone as the iPhone 15 Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Imagen-1-26923-0927-1024x404-1-1024x404.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-251003\" \/><figcaption>A17 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving to the innermost part of the device, iFixit shows us that the logic board of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is very similar to that of the iPhone 15 Pro. Notable in both models is the <strong>inclusion of Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon X70 modem<\/strong>. This component promises to take 5G connectivity to a new level, offering much faster speeds than we&#8217;re accustomed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iFixit has given the iPhone 15 Pro Max a repairability score of four out of ten, according to their criteria. They attribute this score to Apple&#8217;s policy of pairing different parts, which makes it necessary for repairs to be carried out with official parts. This is a measure that, especially <strong>when we&#8217;re talking about parts that directly impact the security of our data<\/strong>, such as Face ID, ports, and similar elements, makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Store\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/14e1eeac-9b2c-11e6-8c57-00163ec9f5fa\/2119089476\/apple-store-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Store<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-store.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-store.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting aside the options, what is clear is the enormous effort that Apple has put into the iPhone 15 this year.
