What caused the difficulty of replacement on iPhone 7?



Apple’s iPhone is designed to be difficult to repair, which is already a thing to see for all. In production processing, Apple through the use of special screws, integrated packaging, deep battery and other advanced technology, succeed to ensure only Apple store maintenance staff can really serve iPhone user. Especially for the battery which was hidden in a layer of micro-circuit board and small parts, without professional knowledge user simply don’t know where to start. Greenpeace US division IT department analyst Gary Cook said that Apple, Samsung and Microsoft products for the average user is increasingly difficult to repair - this will not only shorten the life of mobile device, but also increase the electronic waste.

Compared to iPhone 4, iPhone 5, Apple has improved convenience of replacing battery, but on the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus owner still need to use specialized tools, meanwhile must have some expertise in order to get rid of the stick glue to fix battery. Compared to other brands of smart phones, the demolition of iPhone is still not simple. According to the dismantling analysis, iPhone 7 in addition to the use of adhesive in the assembly must be softened by heating to remove the glue. In addition to the glue, but also including the shell and the internal components are use of different specifications of screw, in the dismantling process at least four screwdrivers are needed, so just open the iPhone 7 is a considerable challenge.

Large number of viscose for the iPhone 7 brings IP67 specifications (a fully dustproof protection level) waterproof capacity. In order to maintain the internal air tightness, to avoid water droplets into, including the volume keys, power button, SIM card slot, speakers, microphone inside are also designed with rubber washers. To break the iPhone 7 and not undermine the integrity of the internal components, although there are some challenges, but not impossible. The focus is on the reduction of waterproof performance, due to special adhesive combination will be broken after the destruction of its coating integrity and viscosity, so the biggest difficulty is that after maintenance repair assembly, it is almost impossible to maintain the original waterproof ability.

Maintenance difficulty of iPhone 7 mainly from the waterproof design, non-original maintenance is difficult to restore to the best condition. Of course, if choosing the original maintenance, then the waterproof capacity is certainly guaranteed, if to the third party maintenance, most of them can’t maintain the original waterproof capacity. After all, the use of third-party waterproof glue and coating technology basic can’t do the original level.

Although Apple's practice in the maintenance caused some trouble to users, but review the history of Apple's product development, we have to admit, whether it is in the product selection or assembly, Apple has done a pioneer, and they also Believe that consumers will buy it for this. In short, better performance components and design process improvements will undoubtedly increase costs, while these costs will eventually be reflected in the price of the product. For Apple, the profitability of high-priced products is often better, so whether new design is environmentally friendly, or protect the consumer's "electronic equipment maintenance rights" and other issues, it is naturally not Apple's first focus.

When you find your iPhone is broken, placed in front of you generally there are two options: trade-in, or take maintenance. And the US market iPhone 6s, for example, if you do not buy Apple's AppleCare + warranty plan, the battery replacement up to 79 USD, the screen repair up to 129 USD, the general maintenance costs 299 USD. And compared to 649 USD of brand new iPhone 7, coupled with the intimate Apple’s additional 18-24 months to make up the difference, the old machine for the new machine activities, I believe many "thirsty" people will make Apple choose the heart.

Apple executives have been openly asked the company's internal environmental team: "Please do all your efforts to ensure that our production and sales will not be affected." At the same time, Apple will also claim that the company spared no effort to enhance their environmental aspects Sustainable development capacity: "Our products are not good to repair, but it is also for the consideration of good quality, the more compact the better look. If the user would like to repair, the franchise store maintenance staff is on standby; if the equipment can’t recover to work any longer, we will do recycle for it. We recently also developed Liam, a set of robot equipment that automatic removal of the old iPhone, recycling becomes so easy.  

I believe that for many people, the Apple mobile phone screen is easy to a very high degree of damage, like the current iPhone 7 screen in the demolition has been very difficult. As the industry rumors iPhone 8 to use the OLED panel, which will join the wireless Charge, and even face detection unlock function, set so many complex new technology in one, I am afraid it will not be good to repair as before.
