Yesterday began selling the iPad Air 2, which means that it is time for a comprehensive study of the internal structure of tablet efforts iFixit. On the operating table turned iPad Air 2 gold color module without LTE, model number A1566.
IFixit experts say the first thing a reduced thickness of tablet. iPad Air 2 noticeably thinner than its predecessor and even thinner iPhone 6. In addition, it is a little easier, but in practice to feel this improvement is unlikely. Getting to the fun.
In iFixit vain to hope that the iPad Air 2 will have a couple of external screws, unscrewing that could be easy to disassemble the device. Apple still uses glue, which means extremely high complexity of the primary disassembly gadget, you can damage the display.
That is why the minor problems inside sometimes it's easier to ignore than to try to fix them - way inside too dangerous.
After heating the glue and the successful separation of the display housing is the first change in design: flex front panel is now attached only at the top of the screen, although in the original iPad Air trails extended from both sides. this is reflected in the dismantling of a purely positive way.
Module Touch ID does not differ from similar components in iPhone 6. For his production really fits NXP.
Next extracted speakers located on both sides of the port Lightning.
They have no markings, but the design is definitely changed compared to last year's model iPad.
Then turn of the 8-megapixel camera - one of the major innovations iPad Air 2. module is quite different from those used in the new iPhone. However, this fact and the lack of flash did not prevent the new camera is a serious step forward.
Antennas Wi-Fi moved to the top of the housing. Experts speculated on where they would be located in the presence of a module LTE.
At the turn on / off button tablet, volume keys, and a light sensor and a microphone. Complex design is now available as a unit.
The mainboard also firmly glued to the body, so it will require a re-extraction of special skills. The board showed processor A8X, 2 GB of RAM production Elpida, drive Hynix, NFC module from NXP - it is still present in the body tablet! Also located on the system board and the other sections of the board.
The battery is glued, and its capacity is decreased compared with the iPad Air: 7340 mAh vs. 8827 mAh. Apple claims about a constant 10-hour battery life. This will be true only if the engineers managed to optimize the energy efficiency of the device. In actual use iPad Air 2 still runs a little less than the previous model.
Only after all the manipulations and remove absolutely all the components, you can access magnets for Smart Cover. If they, for whatever reason, peeling off, as happened in iPad Air, it is best not to mess with their repair and select another cover.
Verdict iFixit is pretty sad. Maintainability iPad Air 2 overall just 2 points out of a possible 10. Disadvantages are obvious: adhesive for attaching the front panel, laminating display raise the cost of the matrix, as well as increased chances to break it. However, there are pluses. Now the matrix and the protective glass is easier to separate from the body of a single block. The bottom line, we can say that it is better not to get involved with the repair iPad Air 2.
