iFixit's teardown shows the iPhone Air doesn't sacrifice repairability for thinness


The iPhone Air has the same easy-to-swap battery design as its predecessors, despite being much thinner.

Apple manages to hold onto its recent repairability record with the latest iPhone Air, which maintains a provisional 7 out of 10 in iFixit's teardown. As seen in the teardown, the iPhone Air can easily swap batteries, has a modular USB-C port and offers day-one repair guides. On top of that, the included battery is encased in metal, making it easier to replace and offering some protection against bending.
