iPhone 16e Teardown Reveals Larger Battery and Cutting-Edge C1 Modem

The iPhone 16e has undergone its first teardown by Rewa Technology, revealing several key components and design changes. The most notable updates include a larger battery capacity of 4,005 mAh compared to the iPhone 16's 3,561 mAh, thanks in part to a smaller camera module. The device features Apple's custom C1 modem, marking a significant step towards self-sufficiency in cellular technology. Additionally, the A18 chip is highlighted as being more securely attached, making depot-level repairs more challenging. The teardown also confirms the absence of MagSafe, which has been a point of contention among users.
