[* black] Up next, things get messy. Real messy. Surrounding the copper coils iscoils, a very brittle ring of magnets. Underneath the coils: more brittle magnetmagnets! Everything here is permanently glued down. Heat helps, but doesn’t prevent lots of shattering.
[* icon_note] To be clear, we weren't exactly ''expecting'' anything higher than [guide|127551|AirPods-level repairability]iPhone levels of tinker-ability in this MagSafe puck. We're mostly here to see the sights. But(But we're always ''hoping'' to be surprised. Wink wink, Apple. Maybe next year.surprised.)
[* black] But lo! Prying up the coils reveals athe circuit board! Alas, It's covered by a metal shield.
[* black] With new iPhones on the horizon, there's no time for microsoldering today. We skip straight to the flush cutters to get through. The result isn't beautiful, but we getit's what we came for!
