Apple quietly made a small, unannounced change inside the iPhone 14 that makes it 'the most repairable iPhone in years' for DIY-ers

There is a small change in the architecture of the new phone.

iFixit says that the iPhone 14 can be opened from the front and back. The screws hold the back glass and front screen of the phone in place.

The new design of the iPhone 14 is significant because it is the first new model of the device since Apple began its self-repair program.

Having an extra side to seal for protection against water is one of the technical challenges that comes with being accessible both sides.

All of the internal parts of the phone are located behind the screen. If the phone is dropped, the mid frame absorbs force.

The new iPhone 14 has an improved camera and no port for a sim card.

The hardware of the iPhone 14 was not much different from that of the previous iteration. Antonio Villas-Boas wrote that most people wouldn't upgrade to the new phone from the old one.

iFixit gave the iPhone 14 a 7 out of 10 "repairability score" and said it was the most repairable iPhone in years. Making it easier to repair the phone will help it last longer and reduce its impact on the planet, according to the website.

The front and back accessibility of the iPhone 14 isn't the same as that of the other two models.
