The single largest use of metal in the iPhone is in the outer frame, so that’s where Apple turned to advanced metallurgy to save some grams and gain some marketing points. Creativity is important because the world has many problems and challenges, and we need a lot more people with creative solutions to solve them.

iPhone 15 Teardown Reveals Software Lockdown | iFixit News

On the base iPhone 15 models, Apple is now performing microphone repairs in their service centers. This is enabled by increased modularity, where the microphone is now a separate component. Finally: USB-C For example, a lens with a focal length of 200mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8 has to have a front lens element that’s more than 70mm (or 3 inches) wide. And that's not including any manufacturing considerations. This notable achievement is worth celebrating. For the first time, Apple’s keynote discussed repairability: iPhone 15 camera screw, top. Equivalent iPhone 14 screw, bottom. A Great Design Undermined by Parts PairingThe 15 is an incremental upgrade, and that’s just fine. The rollout of the 14’s innovative open-from-both-sides mechanical architecture is welcome. Investments in camera hardware are always well spent, and the periscope is particularly innovative. Given the expense, reduced drop test tolerance, recycling challenges, and fragile finish, titanium doesn’t seem like the best long-term material for a smartphone—but we’re impressed Apple pulled it off. We tip our hats at the materials engineers, but aluminum works just fine from our perspective. I also experiment with materials to try to find surprises that can't be found simply by thinking with a pen or a computer’’ he added. The glasses can add one foot (or 30.5cm) on to the wearer's normal eye-level. They look, erm, great! IMAGE: Dominic Wilcox

That dystopian future that science fiction authors warned us was coming, where DRM infected every part of our lives? We’re living in it. The result of these extensive limitations is a major infringement of ownership rights and amplification of the e-waste crisis. Repairability Our insights aren’t confined to iPhones; we’ve witnessed analogous situations with MacBooks and iPads where the stranglehold on repairability is tightening, restricting the remit of repairs to Apple or forcing compromises on independent repairs. The slew of software hindrances significantly overshadow any mechanical advancements in design. A periscope is a device for viewing things past obstacles. In this case, the obstacle is the camera itself. The mirrors bounce the light to the side, allowing for a greater focal length between the front lens and the focusing point on the sensor. In July 2020, it was rumored that Apple might add a periscope telephoto lens to a future iPhone. Periscope lenses have been around for a while, and they neatly sidestep the size problems traditional telephoto lenses have. This part is manufactured with TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process, and is unlikely to be beaten by anything else anytime soon as Apple simply bought out the entirety of TSMC’s capacity for the year. Rumors are that yield on this new process are still quite low, making this a particularly expensive part.The second rumor was that Apple would limit the throughput of the USB-C port for some reason.That rumor turned out to be unfounded. The A17 System-on-Chip (SoC) adds a USB 3 controller, enabling USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gb throughput. Because the non-Pro iPhone 15 models inherited the older A16 Bionic, they only support USB 2 and are limited to the same transfer speeds as previous devices with Lightning. The glasses are created using a sheet of mirrored acrylic with a 45-degree bend, to ensure the smaller mirror can reflect the larger mirror, which faces outwards, giving whoever wears them a better view. Instead of opting for a series of lens elements controlled by electromagnets, they designed a single element “periscope” which reflects light multiple times to simulate a 120mm focal length. The laser light coming from the left is shifted onto a higher plane by the periscope lens system. So while titanium made sense for the outer shell, it didn’t make a difference for the midframe, a hidden yet mechanically complex aluminum part that all the inside phone components mount to. But how do you keep the aluminum midframe and use titanium for the perimeter? Interestingly, Wilcox’s invention surfaced just in time when after Microsoft Surface challenged inventors to come up with 'extraordinary solutions' for 'everyday problems' for an exhibition in London.
