REWA Technology’s YouTube channel today released a video of the iPhone 16 Pro dissection, which provides a first look at the interior of the device after its launch.
Notable in this video is that the smaller iPhone 16 Pro is equipped with a metal-clad battery, confirming rumors from last year. The battery has a capacity of 3,582 mAh, which matches the information obtained in a Brazilian regulatory filing earlier this week. For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro had a 3,274 mAh battery.
According to Apple, some iPhone 16 batteries use an adhesive that easily loses its adhesion due to low-voltage electric current, like a 9-volt battery. TechCrunch said the change only applies to the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The video did not test the low-voltage removal process on the iPhone 16 Pro, but it does show that the device’s battery still has adhesive strips, suggesting that the new process may be limited to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
Meanwhile, another teardown video reveals that the iPhone 16 Pro Max still has a black foil-covered battery instead of a metal one.
Apple announced that all four iPhone 16 models will see internal changes to improve heat dissipation. In this teardown video, the iPhone 16 Pro chassis appears to have a larger thermal layer than the iPhone 15 Pro. Metal-clad batteries may also help improve heat dissipation.
The video also shows that the iPhone 16 Pro has a smaller logic board and several other changes compared to the iPhone 15 Pro.
