Apple iPhone 18 Pro: video teardown and manufacturing secrets

The specialized channel Rewa Technology has just published a full teardown video of the new Apple iPhone 18 Pro. An opportunity to dive into the heart of Apple’s smartphone and discover its manufacturing secrets, from its new Dynamic Island notch to the unprecedented cooling of its A20 Pro chip.

A quick peek into the guts of Apple’s latest iPhone 18 Pro, to discover the technological details that bring one of the most advanced electronic devices of the moment to life. With a much more careful touch than that of butcher Zack Nelson, the Rewa Technology YouTube channel shares this teardown video, to uncover its secrets.

 

Reduced Dynamic Island and Face ID under the screen 

Few surprises compared with the previous model, which is very similar, even though we discover how the size of the Dynamic Island was reduced, thanks to the relocation of the infrared Face ID camera, now hidden under the screen behind a section that is almost invisible from certain angles.

 

48 MP camera and A20 Pro chip cooling 

We can also observe in detail the new larger 48 MP camera, because of the aperture system. The main processor (A20 Pro) has meanwhile been moved so as to make direct contact with the cooling system, a vapor chamber that is also larger than that of the previous model to better dissipate heat.

 

The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is already available. Indicative price: from €1,229 (depending on storage capacity).
