iPhone 6 Plus teardown analysis reveals 1GB of RAM, high-capacity battery

iPhone Plus

As the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus go on sale in Australia and other countries, repair ships like iFixit and iExperts have already torn apart the handsets to see what Apple has hidden inside its new phones.

As noted by both analyses, the inside of the 6 and the 6 Plus is dominated by the battery with a layout that is reminiscent of the iPhone 5s. The battery is a big one in the 6 Plus -- 2915 mAh, which is almost double the capacity of the 1560 mAh battery in the iPhone 5s and larger than the 1810 mAh battery in the 4.7-inch iPhone 6.

While iExperts has completed its teardown of the iPhone 6, iFixit is still taking its iPhone 6 Plus unit apart and identifying the internal components. One notable confirmation is the inclusion of 1GB of Elpida 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM on the A8 SoC. You can view photos of an exploded iPhone 6 at iExperts website and follow iFixit on the company's iPhone 6 Plus teardown page.
