@@SpeedfrkOne"I, myself (a sample of one), am the centre of the universe and all of my experiences are universal" It has nothing to do with taking care of your tech. Defects and issues still occur (there is always a failure rate, with any product, even products with good QC) and by their nature batteries are finite lifespan products. Using any battery powered product daily will inevitably and rather quickly wear down its battery, even if you practice good charging habits. Not all of us want tech to be disposable and needlessly polluting. Companies improving repairability doesn't negatively affect you at all so I can't say I understand this comment as anything other than trolling. Why else are you wasting your time on iFixIt content if repairability is such an affront to your worldview? PS. I'm not sure that you understand what backwards compatibility is.

Definitely has to be most expensive part this iPad since basically sandwhich 2 OLED panels together. No way they could scale that up to 65" TV sizes.

@SpeedfrkOne 28 күн бұрын

It does not a replaceable battery - are going back to the AA and AAA battery days are we? This would also make the device larger and the cost of the battery would be at least 50% of the device, so where’s the economical advantage?

@maxmouse3 28 күн бұрын

Great job as always, guys! Happy to see some progress from Apple, the battery should be even easier to repair that what they have but this is miles ahead of previous gens. I understand that specially tablets are not computers and (most) ppl don't expect them to last for like 10 years, but batteries specially die far quicker than that, specially on a 1 day device. I hope the next gen is even better, having to heat glue just to replace a battery seems excessive for ordinary people and counter productive for technicians. But again, great job from iFixit!
