The iPhone 18 Pro Max improves on its predecessor's EU battery endurance rating, but its repairability grade hasn't changed. We compare the official European ratings and reveal what we found during our teardowns.

Our iPhone 18 Pro Max teardown compares its 5,567 mAh metal-encased battery with the 17 Pro Max’s 5,088 mAh cell, and examines the removal process.

We were about to dismantle the iPhone 18 Pro Max's new camera when we had another idea. What if we could make its six-blade aperture move without plugging it in? One magnet later, we captured an incredible close-up of the mechanism in action.

I tried the 18 Pro Max’s black back glass on my orange 17 Pro Max. It fitted, but the phone kept restarting. Here’s what happened.

Apple made the Dynamic Island smaller on the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but the real surprise is hiding beneath the display. Our teardown reveals how Apple relocated a Face ID infrared sensor to make room for a smaller cutout without sacrificing facial recognition.

Can a Google Pixel really self-destruct? See how GrapheneOS’s duress PIN works, what happens to the phone’s data, and what remains after a wipe.

An early clip claimed to show an iPhone 18 Pro Max teardown. Our own teardown is now out: explore the battery, camera aperture, Face ID and repairability findings, alongside the original report.

Noise cancellation now starts at $129. But Apple’s second AirPods 5 model adds a few everyday conveniences that could make the cheaper pair a tougher sell.

The foldable iPhone is finally real. Apple’s iPhone Duo looks ambitious, but the details beneath its folding screen are what make us want to open it up.

Apple gave the iPhone 18 Pro more power, longer battery life, and a camera with moving aperture blades. One change beneath the chip helps tie it all together.

Apple’s Siri demo began with a simple family question. What followed showed how much of the searching, remembering, and app switching it wants to handle for you.

The iPhone on my screen isn’t connected to a phone. How it got there is interesting, but what you can do with it is the real surprise.

The Pixel 11 Pro, Galaxy S26 Ultra, and iPhone 17 Pro Max faced the same light-meter test. The difference between them was much larger than expected.

Every part came from AliExpress, including the motherboard, display, battery, and Touch ID sensor. Getting it to turn on was only half the battle.

Fairphone lets you replace the battery, cameras, display, and even the USB-C port. But its strongest argument for true phone ownership has nothing to do with hardware.

The Pixel 11 Pro costs more despite a few questionable downgrades. Its most interesting addition is a new light hidden inside the camera flash, and Google may not be using it to its full potential.

AirPods Pro can suddenly whistle when you insert, touch, or adjust them. It may be temporary feedback, but persistent squealing could mean one AirPod needs to be replaced.
