Check out these board pics—snapped with a US iPhone 16, so you can see every detail up close!
These board shots show a US iPhone 16, which doesn’t have a physical SIM tray but is packed with hardware supporting 5G mmWave bands and satellite communication. For a deeper dive, check out our iPhone 16 teardown. Let’s get into it!
Step 1
Inside the iPhone 16, you'll find a logic board that's rocking not one, but two double-sided PCBs!
- RF board—top side up, ready for action
- RF board—flip it to the bottom for a peek underneath
- Main board—top view, get familiar with those components
- Main board—bottom side, let's see what's hiding there
Step 2
- Time to work on the Qualcomm PMX65-000 power management unit! This part is key to making sure your device runs smoothly, so take it slow and steady. If things get tricky and you’re feeling unsure, don’t worry – you can always schedule a repair and we’ll take care of the tough stuff. But for now, let’s dive in and get this repair done right!
Step 3
- Qualcomm SDR735-001 RF transceiver

Step 6
- Give some love to that SK hynix H58G66BK8HX153 8 GB LPDDR5X SDRAM, coz it's going to snuggle on top of a powerful Apple APL1V08 / 339S01531 A18 hexa-core apps processor complete with GPU & Neural Engine magic.
- Next up, say hello to the Apple APL109A / 338S01119 that keeps things powered and plays the role of our trusty manager.
- Now, let's give a shoutout to the Texas Instruments CP3200B1G0 battery charger—you know, the one that keeps our devices alive and kickin'.
- Crank up the tunes with the Cirrus Logic 338S01087 audio amplifier. It always knows how to get the party started!
- Meet the Texas Instruments LM3567A1 LED flash driver, the bright spark that ensures everything shines just right.
- Finally, say hi to Samsung S2DOS24, our dependable display power supply that makes sure you can see all the magic happen.
Step 7
- Swap out the Broadcom AFEM-8234 front-end module. Handle with care and keep those connectors happy!
Step 8
- Meet the Kioxia K5A3XF7346, your phone's 128 GB NAND flash memory—think of it as the digital attic where all your stuff is stored.
- Next up, the STMicroelectronics STPMIA3A426AEQ power management chip—this little champion keeps your device powered and running smoothly.
- Then we've got what is probably the Texas Instruments SN2012027, the USB type-C controller, making sure your charging and data transfer game stays strong.
- The GigaDevice GD25Q80E 1 MB serial NOR flash memory is here to keep things snappy behind the scenes.
- Wireless charging? That's courtesy of the Broadcom BCM59367A1 controller, making cable-free juicing possible.
- For crisp sound, the Cirrus Logic 338S00967 audio codec is working undercover, handling all your music and calls.
- And powering efficient signal delivery, the Qualcomm QET7100-001 wideband envelope tracker keeps everything humming along.
Step 9
- Get ready to tackle the USI 339S01463 Bluetooth & WiFi module! It's your ticket to seamless connectivity.
- Next up, we have the USI UWB module. This little gem will enhance your device's capabilities.
- Last but not least, don't forget about the NXP Semiconductors NFC controller. This guy is key for all your near-field communication needs.
