如果你还没有听说的话，边框的圆角又一次变了。再一次

抱歉打断一下，这一次的尺寸是迄今为止最大一次，至少摄像头传感器是这样的。为了达到他们所宣称的“低光照条件下提升87%的性能”，12 Pro Max 使用了有史以来最大的感光元件。在我们继续拆解它之前，让我们和其他的iPhone 对比一下

在我的周围是一台绿色的iPhone 11 Pro Max，一台金色的iPhone 12 Pro，和一台深海蓝色的iPhone 12 Pro Max

如果你很在意大这件事，那么iPhone 12 Pro Max 带给你的是一切都变大了，包括摄像头的凸起。

嗨！朋友，千万不要让一个没有X光机的朋友拆解你的设备。幸运的是，我们的好朋友Creative Electron给我们提供了一台

这款iPhone看上去跟其他几款iPhone 12 系列都差不多，除了Pro 系列的边框在X光下显示是黑色意外。MageSafe充电环跟12 mini上那个“刚好合适”的比起来，Max上明显看上去更精致

使用标准的加热以及iSclack 才让Pro Max 这个“大家伙” 卸下防备，好让我们探索内部的奥秘。

就像其他iPhone 12 一样，Pro Max同样也是像书本一样从左往右打开。“敞开心扉，在书本里遨游”

当然啦，并不可能完全像书一样。你懂就好。或许你可以从我们的指南中获得一些帮助——任何人都可以修复他自己的iPhone

但是，iFixit，如果我并不想把我的iPhone“大卸八块”，我只是想跟大家分享它内部精妙绝伦的构造怎么办？这里提供了一些Pro Max的壁纸。

没有时间可以闲聊了，然我们想来看一下本次拆解的重头戏Pro Max 全新的摄像头。

标准的广角镜头（左下角）是本次的主角。它的面积大了47%，可以通过更多的光线来改善画质。

通过X光我们可以发现，这枚镜头真的是非常的大。我们可以清晰的看见4块磁铁紧贴在周围，这是Apple 最新的传感器位移防抖系统的标志。

Unmasked, the iPhone 12 Pro Max's primary (wide-angle) sensor is... large. Not unlike the phone it lives in.

Sometimes we're skeptical when a "Pro" feature only makes it into a larger, more expensive model. But there's a decent chance this sensor wouldn't fit in the cramped corner of the smaller iPhone 12 Pro without compromises.

This sensor dwarfs the iPhone 12's. It's 47% larger but with the same 12 MP resolution, so each pixel is larger and captures more light.

That's a technology many modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras use. When your hands shake, there are two main ways to stabilize the image: you can move the lens, or you can move the sensor.

Most smartphones that tout image stabilization use lens-based optical image stabilization (OIS) to smooth out jitters. Many internet battles have been fought over which stabilization technique works best in professional cameras.

Since Apple went out of their way to bring sensor-shift to the iPhone, either they think that's the way to go, or perhaps they just couldn't adequately stabilize the larger version of their new f/1.6 lens.

The loudspeaker and Taptic Engine are a snap to remove with the help of our hyper-pocketable Minnow Driver Kit.

The Max Taptic Engine sports a little black plastic sidecar. What for, you ask? It could help support the display, or maybe it's an extra battery bumper. Either way, it's unusual to find anything in an iPhone that seemingly just fills "unused" space—but not unprecedented.

Apple’s engineers seem satisfied enough with the battery capacity to give the Taptic Engine and speaker more room to boom. Compared to the mini, these bits are maxssive.

With those lower components conquered, we have the perfect angle of attack for those stretch-release battery adhesive tabs.

Don’t let that “L” deceive you—the Max has the winning battery out of all the iPhones 12, not just in power, but in technology. X-ray vision shows that the Max’s battery pack isn’t quite full to the brim, but it's darn close—and the high-tech shape allows it to turn the corner on capacity.

The Max power source weighs in at 14.13 Wh, tipping the scales against the 8.57 Wh mini battery and the 10.78 Wh 12 and 12 Pro.

With the Pro Max's logic board extracted, we're tempted to say it might be even more compact than the one in the iPhone 12 mini (bottom)—but, the mini's integrated SIM reader also leaves it at an unfair disadvantage.

Here's a quick X-ray view of the board before we slice it open. We'll have to take it one layer at a time, but it's neat to see them all at once. It's an amazingly intricate city of silicon driving these iPhones.

Fair warning, there were some minor casualties in today's board delamination. A little slip of the knife at 300° C is all it took to smear some of these chips right off the board. We blame our robot intern. Here are some of the bits he managed to salvage:

128 GB of Kioxia NAND flash memory

STMicroelectronics STB601A power management IC

Qualcomm's SDR865 5G and LTE transceiver, SDX55M 5G modem-RF system, and SMR526 intermediate frequency IC

USI 339S00761 WLAN / Bluetooth module

Avago 8200 high/mid-band power amplifier with integrated duplexer

Murata 1XR-482 mmWave front-end module

Let's get to that A14 straight away—and some of the chips around it.

Apple A14 SoC layered over 6 GB of Samsung K3UHCHC0MM-VGCL RAM

Apple 343S00437 power management IC

Possibly an STMicroelectronics wireless power receiver

Possibly an Apple/Cirrus Logic audio codec

Apple 338S00564-B0 power management IC

Apple/Cirrus Logic 338S00537 mono audio amplifier

Apple 338S00616, likely a display power management IC

And a few more chips on the same side:

Possibly a Bosch Sensortec accelerometer

NXP Semiconductor CBTL1614A1 display port multiplexer

Possibly a Maxim Integrated MAX8559 300 mA LDO regulator

Apple/USI U1 ultra-wideband chip

Texas Instruments LM3562A1, probably an LED driver

And finally, let's take another look at the storage side of the board:

Texas Instruments SN2611A0 battery charger

Broadcom BCM15960A0, touch controller

Texas Instruments TPS68836 display power management

Apple/Cirrus Logic 338S00537 audio amplifier

Texas Instruments SN61280 battery DC-DC converter

Thanks to viewers like you, we did it! This season's fourth and final iPhone has been laid to rest in pieces. The only thing left to do? Load up some sweet teardown wallpapers.

The Pro Max is arguably Apple's finest iPhone-related achievement this year, adding some pretty demanding 5G tech with no obvious compromises to other components.

We're pleased to see this iPhone retain its high-tech L-shaped battery. Here's hoping those make a stronger comeback in the whole iPhone lineup next year—bigger batteries generally need fewer replacements over their lifetimes. (They're also just really cool.)
