iPhone 14 Pro Max: iFixit’s critical verdict on the design decision

Apple sometimes surprises with strange decisions: The repair professionals at iFixit praised the company for how much better the new iPhone 14 is to repair – but unfortunately, that is not the case with the iPhone 14 Pro Max at all. The iPhone 14 Pro is not as easy to repair as the other new models.

And that is exactly what is now puzzling: why did Apple change the structure of the iPhone 14 in such a way that the cheaper line-up can actually be repaired much better than the previous models, but little has been done with the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

DIY iPhone Fix Is Getting More Difficult

iFixit has that iPhone 14 Pro Max disassembled and fixed so that the more easily repairable “innards” of the iPhone 14 were not carried over. If the glass on the back breaks, it becomes more difficult to fix it yourself.
