We’ve already seen several teardowns for the iPhone Air as well as the iPhone 17 Pro, but we now have one for the vanilla iPhone 17 thanks to Zack from JerryRigEverything. The video also details all the official repair part prices for the iPhone 17, which Apple released.
Getting into the iPhone 17 is as simple as removing the two pentalobe screws on the bottom of the phone, which Apple sells for just $0.18 each.

If you’re going for a battery swap, the next step is to heat up the back glass, which allows the phone to open up like a book and removing a few more screws completely frees up the back panel from the phone.
By the way, Apple is charging a cool $159 for replacement back glass panels. A replacement battery will set you back $99, but if you send your old one back to Apple, it goes down to $51. If you’re after a screen replacement, be prepared to shell out $329. Other component costs include $199 for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensor, $169 for the dual rear cameras, $67 for the earpiece and 5G mmWave antenna and $67.08 for the Taptic Engine.
