iPhone 17 Pro rozebrany na części. iFixit potwierdza „scratchgate” i odkrywa dużą zmianę w baterii

Serwis iFixit, znany z demonstrowania demontażu na części najnowszej elektroniki, opublikował swoją szczegółową analizę budowy iPhone’a 17 Pro. Wyniki są niejednoznaczne.

Dlaczego niejednoznaczne? Przede wszystkim z jednej strony Apple wprowadziło kluczowe ułatwienie w kwestii naprawy, ale z drugiej potwierdzono problemy z wytrzymałością obudowy i utrudniono dostęp do niektórych komponentów.

„Scratchgate” to nie mit

Jedną z najgorętszych kwestii tuż po premierze były doniesienia o podatności nowej, anodyzowanej obudowy iPhone’a 17 Pro na zarysowania. Analiza iFixit pod mikroskopem niestety potwierdza te obawy.

Eksperci wykazali, że warstwa anodyzowana, szczególnie na ostrych krawędziach wokół wyspy aparatów, jest stosunkowo nietrwała i łatwo ulega odpryskom, odsłaniając błyszczące aluminium pod spodem. Oznacza to, że afera nazwana w sieci „scratchgate” ma realne podstawy i użytkownicy powinni szczególnie dbać o ten element obudowy.

Rozbiórka iPhone Air ujawnia świetną naprawialność

Duży plus przy wymianie baterii

Największą i najbardziej pozytywną niespodzianką jest zmiana podejścia do montażu baterii. Po raz pierwszy Apple umieściło akumulator w specjalnej, metalowej tacce, która jest przykręcana do korpusu za pomocą śrub Torx.

Choć bateria wciąż jest zabezpieczona specjalnym klejem, nowa konstrukcja sprawia, że jej demontaż jest znacznie bezpieczniejszy i łatwiejszy niż w poprzednich generacjach. To ukłon w stronę serwisów i użytkowników, którzy w przyszłości będą chcieli wymienić zużyty akumulator.

Krok w tył w kwestii dostępu i rewolucja w chłodzeniu

Niestety, jest też zła wiadomość. W przeciwieństwie do poprzednich modeli, iPhone 17 Pro nie posiada już tzw. podwójnego dostępu do wnętrza. Oznacza to, że do komponentów, w tym do wspomnianej baterii, nie można już dostać się poprzez demontaż tylnego panelu szklanego. Wszelkie naprawy muszą odbywać się od strony ekranu.

Analiza iFixit ujawniła także nowy system chłodzenia oparty na komorze parowej (vapor chamber), który ma za zadanie efektywniej odprowadzać ciepło generowane przez nowy procesor.

Ostateczna ocena naprawialności: 7/10

Mimo mieszanych odczuć, iPhone 17 Pro otrzymał od iFixit taką samą ocenę naprawialności jak model iPhone Air – 7 na 10 punktów, czyli wynik, który można uznać za dobry. Eksperci uznali, że ogromne ułatwienie w postaci nowej, wyjmowanej tacki na baterię, w dużej mierze rekompensuje powrót do konstrukcji z dostępem do wnętrza wyłącznie od frontu urządzenia.

It will take a little longer for a slightly freer housing market to provide some possibly cheaper new homes in Arlington now that a judge has thrown a stop sign in front of my county’s attempt to allow multiple-family housing on lots formerly reserved for single-family housing.

Retired Fairfax County judge David Schell (picked by Virginia’s Supreme Court after all of Arlington’s active judges recused themselves) ruled Friday that Arlington’s “Expanded Housing Options” liberalization of by-right zoning failed four procedural tests.

Per a recap in a newsletter published by EHO opponents, Schell held that the Arlington County Board did not start the zoning-amendment process correctly, did not analyze possible EHO effects on such local infrastructure as parking spaces and sewer capacity, should have required a County Board approval of each EHO permit, and did not comply with tree-coverage standards in Virginia law.

I would point to Schell’s ruling here, but coverage from ArlNow and the Washington Post indicate that he only read it from the bench and has yet to post a copy of it anywhere. Which, this far into the 21st century, should be an impeachable offense by itself.

The County Board posted a statement Friday that said it was “reviewing the decision and “determining the appropriate next steps to properly adhere to the ruling” and was “exploring potential options moving forward, including appeal.”

(Ritual disclosure: My wife works for Arlington’s government but did not have a say in EHO.)

Absent a PDF from the judge to peruse, I may be missing some nuances of this rebuke of the partial deregulation of what affordable-housing advocates often call “missing middle” housing–because this category of residence falls between standalone houses and apartments. But here’s what I think I know:

• The ticky-tack fouls called here seem curable with further rounds of rulemaking by the County Board. But that work will not be free, which bothers me more than usual given that we pay the second half of our property taxes next month.

• Schell’s ruling does nothing to stop the plague of teardowns that is steadily destroying older, smaller houses and replacing them with gargantuan, $2 million-plus McMansions that only dual-lawyer couples can afford.

• I’ve yet to see EHO/missing-middle opponents offer a serious argument about how they would slow the teardown-to-McMansion epidemic under the older rules that required lawyers-needed site plan permits for duplexes and anything more dense than a single-family home.

• If it’s a problem for speculative developers to build missing-middle housing that they can then rent out–a risk I often see raised on my neighborhood’s mailing list–how is that not an issue for single-family housing?

• Many missing-middle opponents around here keep describing their opposition as total–their yard signs often denounce even legalizing duplexes. That does not strike me, living next door to an older house now rented out as multiple apartments, as reasonable or constructive opposition.

• Here’s why: Arlington, like many other localities, effectively banned duplexes, row houses, and other kinds of missing-middle housing in the 1930s and 1940s for objectively racist reasons.

• It’s a basic free-market principle that if you want to make something cheaper, you make more of it. Why is that so hard for people to understand in the housing market?
