Within two weeks after its launch at the great Glowtime event earlier this month, the iPhone 16 series has been well accepted in the market, with early birds getting their hands on the new iPhone models since Apple has kicked off its dispatching.
While some desperate to expose how the nascent iPhone 16 models look and feel have been treated, others willing to see what was under the hood of the latest iPhone series remain to feast their eyes.
However, to the pleasure of the latter ones, a teardown of the new iPhone 16 Pro carried by YouTube channel REWA Technology unveiled something seekers might have not imagined.

The most prominent highlight of the teardown is that the iPhone 16 Pro features a relatively more compact motherboard densely packed with hardware components than that of the iPhone 15 Pro.
Besides tiny elements ensuring better heat dissipation, the space-restricted interior is less suitable for smooth repairing and may consume more time than the preceding counterparts.

Proceeding forward, the video further revealed that the iPhone 16 Pro was manufactured with a black-foil-wrapped battery, purportedly for the purpose of more efficient heat dissipation.
The 3,582mAh battery is 9.4% larger than the 3,274mAh power-cell of the iPhone 15 Pro.
Although the compact and extremely tight build should have paved the way for a smaller camera assembly than its predecessors, the iPhone 16 Pro has been incorporated with something otherwise. Experts attribute this to the addition of the 12MP periscope telephoto lens.
The only component from the camera department which is in line with the device's overall suppressed interior is the selfie camera module which is slightly smaller than before.
Wrapping up the disassembly of the iPhone 16 Pro, the teardown at last revealed that the new Camera Control button is non-removable for being laser welded.
