Apple's press conference mentions the keyword "maintenance" for the first time, and the iPhone 15 series makes it easier to replace the back glass

CTOnews.com, September 13 (Xinhua)-- Apple first mentioned the maintainability of the iPhone 15 series at its curiosity event in the early hours of this morning, the first time Apple has mentioned it in the past 15 years.

When introducing the new titanium alloy materials on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Isabel Yang, a materials science engineer at Apple, said that the Pro model uses a new internal structural frame, making it easy for users to maintain and easily replace the back glass.

Foreign science and technology media 404Media said that in today's 85-minute event, although the length is very small, the keyword "repair" appears in the keynote speech for the first time in 15 years.

Through a body redesign, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have become the first iPhone models that can be opened from the front and back of the device since the iPhone 4S in 2011. However, the iPhone 14 Pro series models are not the same as the standard models, and still can only be opened from one side of the display.

CTOnews.com reported in July that Gurman said the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max would adopt a redesigned fuselage to make the equipment "easier to repair".

IFixit's Kyle Wiens said last year that iPhone 14 represented "the most substantial iPhone design change" since iPhone X, given the improved repairability. These changes "are significant, and iPhone has been redesigned from the inside out to make it easier to repair."
