Thanks to disassembly and durability (bending) tests, we learned a lot about the ultra-thin design of the new iPad Pro. Now the folks at iFixit have done just that He conducted a massive demolition project, reveals a major internal change that could save “repair time.” The video also offers our first look at the inside of the new Apple Pencil Pro.
iFixit’s analysis offers one of our best looks at the inner workings of the new M4 iPad Pro We got a closer look at the new tandem OLED display, the repositioned front camera, and perhaps most importantly, the battery.
The new 13-inch M4 iPad Pro has a battery capacity of 38.99 watt-hours, which is actually slightly lower than the previous generation’s 40.33 watt-hours. Of course, Apple says you can still expect the same 10-hour battery life as the M4 thanks to efficiency improvements and better heat dissipation.
The catch, however, is that you can now remove the iPad Pro’s battery without first removing “all major components” as was the case with previous generations.
Shahram Mokhtari von Ifixit explains:
Although these peel marks can be difficult to access, the fact that you can remove the battery without removing all the main components of the device is still a big win for repairability. This is a huge improvement over the previous generation.
