I don't see any obvious modem here: https://valkyrie.cdn.ifixit.com/media/2022/10/07111353/iPhon...

Is this it? https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/22/09/iphone-14-satell...

(From https://m.gsmarena.com/ifixit_iphones_sos_via_satellite_feat...)

Is so, then yes that's a shockingly large piece of the phone.

Edit: @rdsubhas: Your link confirms that the modem really does take up a sizeable portion of the entire volume of the phone. Now Apple's desire to get more control of it makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

This was the teardown video I was referencing, showing size of the modem at 3:45 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=225&v=DDV0_fDJZ40&feature=yo...
