After live streaming the teardown process on Friday, the folks at iFixit have now shared additional details from their in-depth teardown of the iPhone 13 Pro.

In total, iFixit gives the iPhone 13 Pro a repairability score of 5/10, which is down from the 6/10 it awarded the iPhone 12 Pro last year.

This, along with moving the earpiece speaker to the top bezel, is what allowed Apple to reduce the size of the notch in the iPhone 13.

iFixit also confirms that any display replacement will break Face ID from working, which we first reported over the weekend.

Face ID works even when we disconnected the front sensor assembly. However, any display replacement knocks out Face ID.We tried transferring the sensors from the old display and porting over the Face ID hardware, but no dice.

The teardown also speculates that Apple is using a new touch-integrated OLED panel this year in the iPhone 13 Pro:!

In total, iFixit gives the iPhone 13 a repairability score of 5 out of 10
