iPhone Air teardown reveals easy reparability and one cool trick

Apple's first novelty phone, the iPhone Air, has been a source of great fascination since its announcement. We all wanted to know how well it did in a bend test (spoiler alert: it did great), and now we want to know what it's like on the inside.

Reparability experts iFixit are on the case as usual, and have made two important discoveries, one of which is quite unexpected.

First, the iPhone Air is surprisingly easy to get into and repair, and got a relatively high score from iFixit. It still uses the uncommon pentalobe screws and the display and the back glass are still glued in. However, these are both common to all previous iPhones, and anyone looking to get inside should be expecting them at this point.



 
I had a 3G and the upgraded to a 4s. The 4s was my favorite. Small, robust and powerful. It lasted 5 years.
