iFixit this evening got its hands on one of Apple’s new iPhone 8 models in Australia, and has already started ripping it apart in one of the site’s traditional teardowns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inside, the iPhone 8 looks a lot like the iPhone 7, but there are some notable differences, like the wireless charging coil that enables Qi-based inductive charging. The coil can be clearly seen in an x-ray taken before the device was disassembled.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The iPhone 8 features an 1,821mAh battery, smaller than the 1,960mAh battery in the iPhone 7. Despite the change, the iPhone 8 continues to offer the same battery life as the iPhone 7 due to processor improvements. Battery capacity was first unveiled<\/a> last week, but has now been confirmed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Included on the logic board is the A11 Bionic chip, which is layered over 2GB of SK Hynix LPDDR4 RAM. There’s also a Qualcomm MDM9656 Snapdragon X16 LTE modem and an NXP 80V18 Secure NFC module, among other chips.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Other small tweaks and changes in iPhone 8 include a new Lightning port bracket that seems to reinforce it, a new interconnect\/antenna cable over the speaker that iFixit calls “strange,” a lack of gaskets on the pentalobe tabs used for the display, no tri-point screws holding down the display cable bracket, and additional adhesive strips holding the battery in place.<\/p>\n

iFixit’s teardown of the iPhone 8 is still going on, so make sure to check out the site<\/a> for any additional discoveries. We’ll update this post if anything else notable is found.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are already available in some countries around the world, with deliveries expected to start in the United States at around 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 22. Apple retail stores will also be selling the two new devices starting then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
