We’re in the 11th hour of teardowns, literally. We’re very sleepy, so we’ll skip the song and dance and just tell you what’s inside the iPhone 6s Plus. Drumroll please…
• The display assembly on the 6s Plus weighs in at 80 g—while on last year’s 6 Plus, it weighed a measly 60 g. This astonishing 33% increase in weight is all because of Apple’s new 3D Touch technology. That’s some heavy stuff.
• The battery capacity sits at 2750 mAh; a modest 165 mAh downgrade compared to last year’s 6 Plus. Despite the downgrade, Apple claims battery life will be comparable to that of the 6 Plus.
• The iPhone 6s Plus—like its iPhone 6s brethren—inherits a 7 out of 10 on the Repairability scale.
