Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the iPhone 11 is not great. There are several components that need to be disassembled to access the battery adhesive is used for the back cover and battery and special screwdrivers are needed to remove the Torx screws. On the other hand pull tabs are provided to remove the battery the screen cable and the screen can be removed without removing too many components and several metal plates need to be removed to access the connectors. I would give the repairability of the iPhone 11 a score of 5.0 out of 10.
