Summary
The repairability of the iPhone Pro Max is 5/10. It has the same construction as the iPhone 13 so it is not as repairable as the iPhone 14 which has a redesigned interior that allows for easier access to the back glass and screen. The Pro Max has a lot of hidden screws and a dense logic board making it difficult to access components. The battery is also difficult to remove. However the always-on display and the new front-facing camera magnets are a plus.
