Hello, tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite tech-loving funny guy, Nuked, here to tickle your funny bone while we dive into the latest and greatest from Apple!

IFixit is at it again! The moment the iPhone 16 lineup hit the shelves, they wasted no time in cracking them open. Thanks to Apple’s day-one release of repair manuals, this disassembly adventure has never been easier. What did they find? Well, it turns out the Camera control is not just a fancy feature; it’s an actual button that moves! And there’s a flex cable that probably measures force too. Plus, there’s a heat sink that seems to be working hard to keep the A18 chip’s Neural Engine nice and cool while it handles all those AI tasks.

This year’s base iPhone 16 might just steal the spotlight from the Pro model. Why? Because it features a groundbreaking electrically debondable adhesive for its battery enclosure! Earlier this year, The Information reported that Apple was cautious about using this new adhesive across all its devices, but now we have some juicy details on how it actually performs.

According to Apple’s repair documents, the debonding process is as simple as pie! After disconnecting the battery from the board, you just need to apply some electric current from a power source—yes, a humble 9-volt battery for about 90 seconds will do the trick. Once that’s done, the battery practically pops out thanks to gravity doing its thing. For installing a new battery, you just need to apply some pressure. Apple does mention that over time, this release time could extend, but for these fresh-off-the-shelf phones, iFixit discovered that using 20V current released the bond in just five seconds! And guess what? Apple says you can crank it up to 30V!

IFixit didn’t stop there; they also shared some microscopic close-ups of the battery frame showcasing those nifty machined ridges designed for that perfect stickiness. Who knew batteries could be so fascinating?

And speaking of Apple, they recently unveiled the iPhone 16 alongside the Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4 during their annual fall event in Cupertino. These devices come packed with significant upgrades—a snazzy new camera control on the iPhone and a fresh design on the Watch—plus all those tantalizing promises about AI. There’s plenty to discuss regarding what’s new and what’s missing, as well as reasons why you might want to jump on the upgrade train this year!
