iFixit Tearing Down iPhone 12 Live on YouTube

iFixit has an iPhone 12 in hand and is tearing it down live, providing a close-up look at the components inside. We've already seen several teardowns so there may not be much to learn, but iFixit's teardowns are always fun to watch.


After today's teardown, iFixit plans to provide a more in-depth teardown that will go through all of the components in the new devices.

It's like watching a movie that you already know the ending to. Next year, iFixit should connect with vendors in Asia so they can get the new iPhone earlier.

These folks at iFixit make good content. It sounds like their audience is pretty toxic to them. I'm six minutes in, tons of apologies about timing, their voices, their teardown methods, even their attempt at having fun with the "oops" machine! Not that they'll see this, but I'm glad they stick with it and appreciate that *someone* does what they do.
