New iPhone, same opening procedure. Pentalobes? Gone. Heat? Applied. iSclack? Sclacking.

Opening just one iPhone is a little overdone, so why not try two? We'll keep the iPhone 8 comparison going and see just how similar these phones are.

If the similarities are more than superficial, you might even be able to repair an iPhone SE using iPhone 8 parts—or vice versa. With both phones open, they certainly look like doppelgängers.

Backward-compatible or cross-compatible parts could be a real boon for third-party repair now that OEM repair is less certain than ever.
