Hours after the release of an early teardown video[1], DIY repair authority iFixit[2] has brought its authenticated coverage[3] to show you what's actually available on the iPhone X[4].

The iFixit team reported[7] that Apple[8] has folded the board in half to make it significantly smaller than what was available on the iPhone 8 Plus.
