The first iPhone Duo teardown videos have been shared by YouTube channels Phone Repair Guru and REWA Technology, giving us a look inside the device.
iPhone Duo comes with two battery cells that can be removed with electrically activated adhesive. There is a larger battery with a capacity of 2,962 mAh (11.56 Wh) and a smaller one that is rated at 1,921 mAh (7.5 Wh). The total battery capacity is 4,883 mAh.
Phone Repair Guru revealed that the iPhone Duo’s Touch ID button can technically be removed for repairs, but said it’s a difficult process.
REWA Technology’s video includes a labeled breakdown of the logic board, which contains Apple’s A20 Pro chip, C2 cellular modem, and more.
iPhone Duo is an eSIM-only device worldwide.
