This was sent to me by one of you guys and it's a microwaved iPhone 14 pro. I've never seen nor fixed a phone that has been microwaved so I'm not sure how repairable this is.

I'm guessing the metal all around acted as a shield, and the energy only managed to pass through the gaps (that are specifically made to let RF energy pass through, like wifi), so it only damaged the things close to the antenna gaps. Super interesting! RF energy "likes" corners so that would explain the burnt/melted things close to the corners too, it got hot!

[@DiverseGreen-Anon]

I just saw the colors (purple to blue) of the steel frame at 8:12 which indicates that it heated up to just about 300°C/570°F! So..... I guess many of the internal components must have taken damage from overheating if not from short circuits directly from the magnetron... Also because of the possible local hotspots it might be that the pcbs partially delaminated and that bga components (memory/cpu/ics and controllers and such) could get broken off the pcb partially (cold solder joints) also because of the tension that is generated when the heat is not even.

[@DiverseGreen-Anon]

I would also assume that the storage and battery had been overheated in the microwave (from the frame heating up that much). Therefore I (personally) would not trust that battery at all and the lifetime of the storage might also have been reduced because of this...

[@AvyakthS]

Yeah diffraction. Makes sense

[@DiverseGreen-Anon]

@@ivibivivgig6425 a cheap microwave is a metal sheet box, has a transformer (that often also spins the table) and a magnetron. You might find them for as little as 10€. No "smarts" 😬 That kind of feature would be more on the expensive models and also as a "sales argument" big in the ads... Especially since the market of such devices is super competitive and many people really need nothing on their microwave besides 2 knobs to turn for time and "power" (which is not even really a power control most of the times but still works well enough)

This repair makes me wish I had coughed up extra for a fully rebuilt chassis for my 11. I had cracked the back glass and did a housing swap. I tried going cheap and only had some of the components like the buttons and charging coil installed, but I didn't have the rest of the cables pre-installed and I had the same bootlooping issue once I put the phone back together. What would've costed me an additional $20 instead cost me the phone lol

To answer this question by yourself, think about this : Can you put iPhone 8 components into an iPhone 13 ? Because, the parts are almost the same, you can interchange the parts between them and it will work fine.
