iPhone 5s Teardown: step 0, image 1 of 1

  • Turning our attention to the backside of the logic board:

  • Apple A7 APL0698 SoC (based on this MacRumors post, the markings F8164A1PD indicate the RAM is likely 1GB)

  • Qualcomm MDM9615M LTE Modem

  • Qualcomm WTR1605L LTE/HSPA+/CDMA2K/TDSCDMA/EDGE/GPS transceiver.

  • As we search for a much-anticipated M7 coprocessor, we begin to wonder if it actually is a separate IC, or if it is additional functionality built into the A7.

  • Maybe the "M" stands for "magical," the M7 is invisible, and Apple does use pixie dust to hold the device together. Or perhaps the "M" stands for "marketing"…

  • Update: the M7 has been found!.

  • Our A7 was fabbed in July.
