Apple has been trying pretty hard to keep people out of their phones.

Reflexive pronouns

Steve Jobs himself said he didn't want people fiddling around inside the iPhone, which is

why they've all been sealed shut and hard to repair from day one.

It's time to open up the brand new iPhone Xs Max and see what new obstacles Apple has

Grab some popcorn – this video might be a long one.

Turning the phone off is done with a volume button and power button combo press.

Then we encounter the proprietary pentalobe screw Apple implemented back with the iPhone

The inexpensive toolkit I'll link in the description includes all the bits you'll need for this

Apple uses 4 different styles of screws this time around, and they are all different sizes.

I'm keeping everything super organized so hopefully it'll all go back together in one

Apple has upgraded their water resistance to ip68 this year – finally matching the

rating Samsung's had for the past 2 years.

You can see the stringy black waterproofing adhesive holding the screen to the metal phone

Remember, there are a lot of things that can be damaged inside an iPhone, so I'm taking

special care to insert only the tip of my tool inside.

The screen is latched up at the top and needs to be pulled down ever so slightly before

The ribbon cables along the right side are the main thing to avoid while opening.

Any stress or nicks on those cables would ruin the display, and we just don't want that.

To remove the screen, Apple added an obsticale with 7 uncommon, flimsy, tripoint Y000 screws.

Luckily, my toolkit comes with all these hard to find bits already included.

I'll set the different sized screws right next to the bracket they came from – that

Before I unplug that crazy dual cell L-shaped battery though, Dustin, one of my buddies,

tweeted that 'if you feel like the dumbest person in the room, then you're in the correct

This was one of the reasons I chose to read “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” by

Huge thanks to Audible for sponsoring this video.

If you want an incredibly detailed intellectual description of the universe, and how all the

elements exploded into existence, like the lithium inside this iPhone battery, “Astrophysics

for People in a Hurry” is a worthwhile listen.

You can get your free copy with a 30 day trial of Audible using the code: “jerryrig”.

I'll link it in the description, or just go to audible.com/jerryrig.

Texting the word “jerryrig” to 500-500 works too.

Even if you cancel your audible subscription, you still get to keep all your books.

Astrophysics might sound complicated, but it is an incredibly interesting summary about

And like I said earlier, if you feel like the dumbest person in the room, you're in

Let's unplug that battery and get the screen off.

One Lego-style connector for the battery, and each of the 3 ribbons attached to the

screen has their own Lego-style connectors as well.

Then the whole screen can pull away from the phone body.

Apple screens are much easier to replace than they used to be.

With only 3 more screws holding onto the front earpiece, there are no home buttons or fragile

fingerprint scanner cables that we have to worry about now.

Everything just kind of folds out at the top of the screen like some funky origami.

I'll link replacement parts in the video description as they become available.

I'll get everything pressed back into place, and even though I did need special screwdriver

bits, a screen replacement is a pretty simple process.

Things only start getting super complicated in the iPhone Xs Max when I dig deeper into

Apple was nice enough to include the magic pull tabs holding in each half of the battery.

[Stretching sounds] And 3other magic pull tabs under the bottom segment.

[Stretching sounds] Once all of the pull tabs are removed, there's nothing else holding

the battery in place, so make sure it doesn't get away from you.

[More stretching sounds] Batteries can be super dangerous if punctured.

The combined power of both cells in this battery is 3100 milliamp hours – about 22% smaller

than the Samsung Note 9, but who's keeping track.

There's nothing else super easy to replace inside of this phone, which is mostly fine

since the screen and battery are usually the first things that go out or break on a smartphone.

We'll talk about the back glass replacement in a second.

First, let's pull out the rear camera units.

With 2 Phillips head screws holding down the large rectangle metal plate, I'll set that

off to the side and unclip both camera units.

Each of these 12 megapixel cameras are placed in the same metal housing for that fluid transition

from a normal perspective, to the 2x optical zoom lens.

Both camera units have optical image stabilization – that physical OIS.

The iPhone cameras are actually pretty phenomenal.

I'm always impressed by their image quality.

Before I say too many nice things though, let me plug the cameras back into the phone

and show you how hard a simple charging port replacement is.

The charging port nowadays in an iPhone is taking double duty as a headphone jack and

This means that it might eventually stop working.

In order to replace the charging port, everything else needs to come out of the phone – which

A design which could very easily be remedied by moving the charging port connector from

the middle of the motherboard to the bottom...like Samsung and every other manufacturer does.
