The latest iPhone 14 series phones are on sale this week! The first teardown of the new iPhone 14 Pro Max shows a redesigned Face ID sensor, plus a larger camera system, and a new heatsink. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have 6GB of faster memory, which helps make overall device performance faster and more efficient than last year’s iPhone 13 Pro.
From this teardown video, we can confirm that the teardown of the iPhone 14 Pro shows that it uses Qualcomm’s X65 5G baseband chip to provide faster 5G speeds and lower power consumption.
The same teardown also confirmed that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max use the newer and faster LPDDR5 memory, while the previous iPhone 13 Pro used LPDDR4X memory. Like last year’s iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro still packs the same 6GB of RAM, but benefits from an updated LPDDR5 memory type.
The standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, as rumored, are still expected to feature LPDDR4X memory, along with an upgraded A15 Bionic chip from last year’s high-end iPhones.
According to Apple, the A16 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14 Pro has 50 percent more memory bandwidth, which is in line with the expected increase in the move to LPDDR5 memory. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature the new A16 Bionic chip, which Apple says is the fastest chip in a smartphone.
