The leaked schematics reveal that Apple positioned only the A19 Pro processor within the camera bump region. The remaining printed circuit board elements must coexist with the battery in the main chassis. The logic board features an irregular shape that prevents complete placement within the camera bump alone. Apple employs a dual-sided component layout to maximize space efficiency. The C1X 5G modem and N1 wireless networking chip occupy...
