This week marked 10 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone (http://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/09/steve-jobs-introduced-the-iphone-10-years-ago-today/) at Macworld in San Francisco. In commemoration, iFixit (http://ifixit.org/blog/8708/10-years-of-iphone/) has published a roundup of 15 iPhone teardowns the site has completed over the past decade, offering a look at how the design's construction has evolved over time.
In contrast to Apple's iMac (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/imac/)s and MacBooks which have become progressively more difficult (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/16/new-4k-imac-teardown/) to repair (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/18/touch-bar-macbook-pro-**n-removable-ssd/) in recent years, the iPhone's repairability score has fared a lot better after quickly improving upon its first incarnation, as **ted by iFixit.

iPhones have become taller, wider, and skinnier. But they?ve also become more repairable. The very first iPhone earned a dismal 2/10 on our repairability scale. It had a soldered battery and was almost impossible to open without breaking the case. Repairability improved radically from there ? jumping to a 7/10 for the iPhone 3G. Since then, the company's flagship smartphone has remained relatively repair-friendly, earning at least 6/10 on iFixit's repairability rating with every iteration. The most recent iPhone offering, the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/), was awarded 7/10 on the scale in 2016.
