Introdução
Double the iPhone, double the teardown! With the iPhone 6 Plus laid out for inspection, we turn our attention to the smaller iPhone 6—though at 4.7", it's still a giant among iPhones. What was so big that Apple couldn't fit it into the familiar form factor? Let's shake it out onto the teardown table and find out!
This year we're doing the iPhone 6 teardown in English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Русский, and 中文. Just click the flag icon to swap languages.

-
We stood in some pretty long lines to get our hands on the new curved iPhone 6, and we couldn't be more excited to delve into it!
-
We want to send out a big thanks to our good friends at MacFixit Australia for letting us use their office in Melbourne for the teardown. They stock Mac and iPhone upgrades/accessories, and also carry our iFixit toolkits. Thanks MacFixit Australia!

Apple has decided to brand this particular iPhone 6 as model A1586.
-
The camera bump, as it's widely known, is prominently visible along the top of the iPhone 6. Apple chose improved optics in exchange for a lens assembly that is slightly thicker than the rest of the phone.
-
You win this time, optics.
-
-
-
The rounded corner design of the iPhone 6 is very reminiscent of the first generation iPhone, sans the Lightning connector and Pentalobe screws.
-
With our 64 Bit Driver Kit, we proceed to remove the Pentalobe screws from the iPhone 6.

All hail the iSclack. Opening phones in this fashion is so satisfying!

With the front panel assembly open, we take a peek inside the iPhone 6.

This is how to boomerang, right? We spoke with several Australians, and they all came to the same conclusion. This is how you boomerang.
What exactly is the boomerang supposed to do, or is that a joke?
Dude! Nothing's a joke. As apple uses special screwdrivers for their special screws, they use boomerang to completely detach the front panel assembly from the main unit. I tell you that was very difficult to figure out. But ifixit did it! _/\_
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA accurate
Looking at the "airfoil" on that boomerang it's either a) left handed or b) a piece of junk. Considering the obtuse angle of it's wings, I'd say opening iPhones is it's only useful purpose.
Hi
My iPhone 6, subiltely, has lost cellular signal. I've changed the complete lighthening connector with , two times. But still no signal.
Someone could help me, I don't see what could it be ??
Mon iPhone 6 a subitement perdu le signal réseau. J'ai changé la nappe complète avec le connecteur ligthtening, deux fois, mais sans résultat.
Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'aider, je ne vois pas d'où peut venir le problème, une autre piste ?
Merci, thanks

While there may not be any Phillips screws on the outside of this phone, there are certainly Phillips screws on the inside. Fortunately, our Pro Tech Screwdriver Set can handle any type of screw this phone dishes out.
-
With screwdriver in hand, we tackle the metal bracket screws that secure the front panel assembly in place.
I understand you're trying to sell things, and that's ok, but it would be nice to explain how to open the phone without a specific $25 tool. I used to think of ifixit as the authority on repairs, but now I have to go elsewhere to figure out how to repair things without these specific tools.
Have you looked for guides on here? This was a teardown, not a guide, if you want instructions look for that. Not meaning to be rude at all
-
-
-
-
Much like the iPhone 6 Plus, the front-facing camera and earpiece speaker reside on the front panel assembly.
-
We pull them out and line them up for inspection.
Any idea of why my FaceTime camera lens keeps moving to the left? I have replace my iPhone 6 once already.
-
-
-
So far, the overall construction of this "small" iPhone 6 is a dead ringer for its big brother, the 6 Plus.
-
This metal plate and the front panel assembly it covers are perfect examples. The design mirrors that of the iPhone 6 Plus, which in this case is a definite improvement.
-
-
-
The iPhone 6 features an 1810 mAh, 3.82 V Lithium-ion Polymer battery with an energy rating of 6.91 Wh. Turning it over, the rating improves to 7.01 Wh! Perhaps the engineers were able to squeeze an extra 0.1 Wh in the battery after confirming the text on the front.
-
Apple preaches that this 28-gram (3.75" x 1.5" x 0.13") power pack will let you talk for up to 14 hours on 3G and offers 250 hours of standby time.
-
This is a fair bit smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus's 11.1 Wh, 2915 mAh battery—but still a notable bump from the 1560 mAh unit in the iPhone 5s.
How does the 28-gram weight compare with previous versions ? And to the iP6 Plus density ?
64.6 mA per gram is better than competing battery solutions from LG and Samsung ?
I don't see an identity crisis for this battery, the Thailand and Japan text are next to mandatory regulatory marks for batteries in those countries (circled diamond logo and circled PSE logo). Between them is a UL recognised component mark (c reversed UR US mark). Presumable it is less trouble for Apple to apply for them through local subsidiaries.

-
Good news, everyone! The rear-facing camera is easily removed with a pair of tweezers.
-
Though it lacks the fancy optical image stabilization of the camera in the iPhone 6 Plus, this unit shares virtually all of its other specs: 8 megapixels, f/2.2 aperture, True Tone flash, and phase-detection autofocus.
-
It also features electronic image stabilization, which aims to mimic the effects of OIS (optical image stabilization) using image processing techniques.
-
-
-
We tweeze out antennas faster than you can remove punny parts from a buzzing board game.
-
Up next is the logic board. While it's quite elegantly dressed in its EMI shields, we want to see what lies beneath the veil.
I'm curious about the antenna design, how did they fit wifi/bluetooth, GPS, diversity and NFC into the top area?
I too am interested in how the antennas are configured. Especially how they attach to the phone via the plastic connectors ... are these top and bottom sections removable? Would it be possible to swap them out with a different phones to come up with a different color scheme, among other things?

Somewhere in the teardown around this stage, this small piece came out and I don't know where from. Anyone know what this is?? It says, "00095-A" with a small box thing at the end of the character string. Thanks so much in advance!

Anyone know where I can get the Skyworks 77803-20 Mid Band LTE PAD? I need to fix a phone.
-
-
-
The front side of the logic board:
-
Apple A8 APL1011 SoC + SK Hynix RAM as denoted by the markings H9CKNNN8KTMRWR-NTH (we presume it is 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM, the same as in the iPhone 6 Plus)
-
Qualcomm MDM9625M LTE Modem
-
Skyworks 77802-23 Low Band LTE PAD
-
Avago A8020 High Band PAD
-
Avago A8010 Ultra High Band PA + FBARs
-
Skyworks 77803-20 Mid Band LTE PAD
-
InvenSense MP67B 6-axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer Combo
If we look on real iPhone 6 or 6 Plus board then we can see near of Gyro is available Accelerometer separated it look like on iPhone 5S, possible combo is used on Prototype board or some Chinese revision but global uses separated ic's of Gyro and Accel.
what is e-compass?
Can you remove the EMI sheleds and still have the iPhone work after the repair? It seems like one of the connections on the logic board was broken in the removal of the shields.
-
-
-
Back side of the logic board:
-
SanDisk SDMFLBCB2 128 Gb (16 GB) NAND Flash
-
Murata 339S0228 Wi-Fi Module
-
Apple/Dialog 338S1251-AZ Power Management IC
-
Broadcom BCM5976 Touchscreen Controller
-
NXP LPC18B1UK ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontroller (also known as the M8 motion coprocessor)
-
NXP 65V10 NFC module + Secure Element (likely contains an NXP PN544 NFC controller inside)
-
Qualcomm WTR1625L RF Transceiver
There is the Barometer below the SanDisk NAND Flash. Looks like a BMP from Bosch Sensortec
Where is the gray outline i cant see it
-
-
-
More ICs await us on the back of the logic board:
-
Qualcomm WFR1620 receive-only companion chip. Qualcomm states that the WFR1620 is "required for implementation of carrier aggregation with WTR1625L."
-
Qualcomm PM8019 Power Management IC
-
Texas Instruments 343S0694 Touch Transmitter
-
AMS AS3923 NFC Booster IC designed to “improve performance of existing NFC controllers for challenging environments such as mobile and wearables” and also delivers “less restrictive antenna design requirements”.
-
We believe this chip is an NFC frontend to improve performance in noisy environments using 'active peer to peer bit rates [up to] 212kb/s.'
-
Cirrus Logic 338S1201 Audio Codec
In Step 18, can you identify the chip at the far right of the board, sort of diagonally between the holes at the top right corner and bottom? It's the larger and bottom-most of the two chips at that end of the board, directly above the bottom hole. It appears to also be in the 6 Plus at Step 22 at around the same place on its board.

Removing the vibrator assembly. It's new and... improved?
-
Vibrator mechanisms seem to be one of those choices like Coke or Pepsi where there is never a clear answer. Apple keeps changing this part's design:
-
iPhone 4 (counterweight)
-
iPhone 4S (linear oscillating)
-
iPhone 5/5s (counterweight)
-
Based on appearances, we're guessing that Apple went with a linear oscillating design in this rendition of the iPhone.
-
-
-
This year's model is sporting a new design for the speaker assembly.
-
Since markings are scarce, we expect that this is just a minor update from the iPhone 5s speaker.
-
-
-
We now pronounce you headphone jack and Lightning connector. Two have now become one assembly, residing on a single cable.
-
This new unity means that you can't replace one without the other—which is bad news if you have malfunctioning ports.
can anyone explain the function of the small wire with the gold connection piece on the lightning port piece?
This seems to be an antenna coax cable with a miniature coax connector at the end. In the picture, it seems to have been "plugged up" with a small conductive foam piece, I don't see why that is necessary, except for preventing dirt to get in?
Actually nothing is plugged up—the foam lies on the back/top of the connector. Almost every cable connector in the phone has a foam pad on the top to fill the air gap between the connector and whatever lies above it. Helps keep it from jiggling loose while evenly distributing force over the surface of the connector.

Tweezers simplify our lives. They allow us to peel up the delicate cable assemblies, such as those associated with power button and volume buttons, with ease.

Just like that, the button assemblies are out of their iPhone shell.

That's all folks. The iPhone 6 earned a respectable seven out of ten. Here's why:
-
Continuing the trend from the iPhone 5 series, the display assembly comes out of the phone first, simplifying screen repairs.
-
The battery is straightforward to access. Removing it requires a proprietary pentalobe screwdriver and knowledge of the adhesive removal technique, but is not difficult.
-
The fingerprint sensor cable has been re-routed, fixing a significant repairability issue with the iPhone 5s and making the phone much safer to open. (On the 5s, the cable is easily torn if a user is not careful while opening the phone.)
-
The iPhone 6 still uses proprietary Pentalobe screws on the exterior, requiring a specialty screwdriver to remove.
-
Apple does not share repair information for the iPhone 6 with independent repair shops or consumers.
wait where is the NFC coils?
NFC doesn't need "coils" unless it's a low power device. The iPhone is not low power.
NFC most certainly needs "coils" or a loop antenna to function. This is because of the load modulation defined in the ISO14443 spec. I suspect the antenna is likely the T308S flex shown in step 17 or perhaps integrated into the case using the screw contacts. It would be simple to verify by Ohm'ing out the antenna pins from the AS3922 and the headers from the T308S flex.
Take a look, here is the pressure sensor

On step 8 you show the home button to have a cable that seems like it connects to the main board .... is this something to take note of when opening it from that bottom edge? Home button in the past contacted to main board with copper springs and not an actual connector
please confirm
Anybody know where the Liquid Contact Indicators (LCI's) are located? I didn't see one inside the SIM card reader as it was on the iPhone 5, 5S.
Wu,
I have checked at the MURATA specs it seems they have Broadcom. May be Apple used them as third party for cost effective customer support. This is WLAN and Bluetooth chipset.

Thanks

I disassembled my iphone, and can not understand where this item came from? Any ideas?
Nice, but would be nice to have the antennas torn down also.
A low cost Iphone case is available in Amazon. I have been using it for 2years. It is perfectly fit for Iphone 6 plus cover and easy access of all the phone device. This ultra thin flip case specially designed for Apple Iphone 6plus.
Can you make a list of all materials and show if you can put it back together
What cools the processor if anything does it have a cooling system
The sim is inside but the phone keeps saying no service. I was told it was the antenna. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Can you put the guts of and an iPhone 6 into a 6 plus? Or vice versa?
I have been successful, so yes. vica n versa.

nice teardown... but it would had been nice to know where each screw goes... i had teardown an iphone 6 to change the frame and now all my swcrew are everywhere... was hoping to found where they goes here and boom, nope, a joking teardown... nice
We have a complete set of guides for you right here, including screw locations. Teardowns are just meant to be a fun peek at the hardware and overall repairability, and should not be used as guides. For keeping track of your screws I highly recommend a magnetic project mat—it's one of the best tools I own, and I would prefer never to open an iPhone without one.
hey guys,
which component contains the LED light for the flash on the rear camera?
The power button flex has the flas on it
plz can u refer how to replace ther rear mic near the camera coz i recording videos without sound! tnx
а можно ли в заблокироаный айфон 6+ поставить микросхему от айфон 6 рабочий разблокированный ? ну или хотябы основную начинку. конечно есть вопрос как это будет выглядеть на экране разрешение ведь разное . или может по от 6 не сможет использовать тачскрин прошивку и тд. и тп. кто пробовал? подскажите.
поставить можно но работать не будет)
What an awesome post! Funny and informative. Well done!
Hi iffbas! This is a teardown not a repair guide, for a full set of step-by-step guides, consult our iPhone 6 manual!
where is the 00095-A piece?
buena+ gracias
Where is the magnetometer located?
Seriously… less jokes and more details. What sizes were the Phillips screws? It seems like some were 000 and some were 00. Some were longer than others. It would be nice if we knew where they went.
As stated in the banner at the top, this isn’t a guide—but if it’s instructions you need, we have those over here. Phillips driver sizes are not standardized, and vary from one tool manufacturer to the next, so you’ll just have to test carefully and use whichever one fits best. Using iFixit drivers, I usually prefer a PH00 for iPhone screws, but a PH000 works for virtually all of them as well.
what is this thing? whatever it is, it was ripped whenever it came with my phone
I have a question I didn’t use a magnetic board because I didn’t have one at the time and my screws got disorganized. How can I figure out which one is supposed to go where
