Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the iPhone 15 Pro is 5.0/10. The battery and battery cable are easily accessible but adhesive is used to secure the battery and special tools are needed for disassembly. Additionally the screen needs to be removed first which is a delicate process and metal plates over the cable connectors need to be removed. Finally parts can only be replaced by Apple service centers since they are software locked to the phone.
