    I also found out a few other things that have changed:

    • They now use Torx T5 screws
    • The backcover and battery are now fixed with these screws
    • The battery uses a dedicated connector
    • Parts of the backcover now require a pick
    • SIM/SD now sit at the bottom in a dedicated slot and don’t require the removal of the backcover.
    • The volume buttons got replaced by the “moments” button and are now on the left

    IMHO this is kind of a downgrade in repairability as you now need custom tools (not everyone has a T5 screwdriver at home). Moving the volume buttons to the other side is also kind of weird and unexpected as most (non Apple) phones have them on the right…
