iPhone SE 2020 VS iPhone 8 – Which parts Could be Swapped?
The iPhone SE 2nd has been released and it looks similar to iPhone 8. Despite the iPhone SE 2020 special functions, such as 3D touch and true tone, it is still possible that some of the iPhone 8 parts could be swapped on iPhone SE 2nd. Here we make a test on some of the swappable parts between these two models. Let’s see what they are.
1. Swappable parts:
Display Screen
Cameras
Ear speakers
Taptic engine
Charging port
SIM card tray
Notice: The iPhone SE display screen and iPhone 8 screen are swappable, but the iPhone SE 3D touch function and true tone cannot display on iPhone 8. We need to copy the iPhone SE display data via an IP Eeprom programmer and rewrite the data to the iPhone 8 display screen so that we can have true tone if we replace the iPhone SE display screen with iPhone 8 display. Details refer to our blog: How to Get True Tone Function Back on Aftermarket iPhone X OLED Screen?
The iPhone SE cameras can be replaced with iPhone 8’s, conversely, iPhone 8 cannot replace with iPhone SE’s cameras.
2. Not swappable parts:
Battery
Back battery panel
Home button
Reasons: The iPhone SE battery and iPhone 8 battery cannot be interchanged because the connector size is different. The iPhone SE battery flex cable is larger than the iPhone 8’s. The back battery door cannot be replaced because logo color and position are different, which makes the protective cover be different in these two iPhone models. The iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 8 home button cannot be interchanged because the iPhone SE Touch ID security requirement tends to be higher than iPhone 8’s.
The description above is mainly about the interchangeable parts between iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 8. It would be helpful if we learned these swappable parts. Also, the iPhone 8 parts replaced on iPhone SE is cost-saving in some way. In the end, Etrade Supply has the best quality iPhone SE 2020 replacement parts and iPhone 8 parts here.
