After launching a new device, a few different things
tend to happen. First, we get to see images of the
launch circulate over the ‘net, and then the inexorable
drop tests always surface. The teardown is part of the
equation as well.
According to iFixit, the site predominantly known for
the teardown treatment of many devices, the iPhone 6
Plus shares quite the striking resemblance to the
iPhone 5s. The layout is similar, yes, but the size is
obviously much bigger. More to the point, the battery
is indeed quite a bit bigger than the previous
generation. In fact, twice as big.
iFixit also notes that there are no “booby traps” once
the front panel of the device is removed from the rest
of the handset, a gentle nod towards the cable that ran
from the Lightning port to the Touch ID sensor in the
iPhone 5s. The battery in the iPhone 6 Plus is indeed
bigger than the iPhone 5s (not that that should have
been a shock at all to anyone), measuring in at
2915mAh at 3.82 volts. (As a reference point, the
iPhone 6 battery is measured in at 1810mAh.)
And finally, iFixit has indeed confirmed that the iPhone
6 Plus has 1GB of RAM, finally to putting to rest those
debates and rumors.
