What happened to the detailed written teardowns with pictures of every step? This is incredibly disappointing.

My understanding is iFixit, like many other businesses, has experienced some staffing issues and simply doesn't have the manpower to put that style of tear-down together right now. I don't remember where I heard this next bit, but I thought I saw someone say they may have had some new hires lined up, so hopefully we see the other style of tear-down make a return soon, but I guess only time will tell.

Thanks for the insight, that makes sense.

That's great, but what am I looking at here? Where is the Exynos? What version of S22 is this? Come on, be scientific. Give us the details. Model number is a simple but important detail that you have left out, yet you're down at the chip level and talking about numbers. You know as well as I do that there are many versions and models within the same series.
