Last week was presented to the tablet Apple iPad Air . Â The device has become noticeably thinner and lighter than its predecessor. Â Today, the first day of sales, iFixit specialists get their hands on one of the tablet .
The first step was the separation of the display case. Â Here it should be noted that the display panel itself, and cover glass elements are separate so it is first separated from the faceplate glass. Â The display itself is made by LG.
Below the display is a battery capacity of 32.9 V • h (3.73 V).
Printed circuit board occupies very little space that has become customary for the top-end devices market leaders. Â Thus in this case, the components are on only one side. Â Here are located the processor Apple A7, chip RAM Elpida F8164A1MD 1 GB, 16 GB of flash memory Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01, chip NXP LPC18A1, better known as the co-processor Apple M7, modem LTE Qualcomm M9616M and other electronic components.
The remaining elements are the antenna Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, FaceTime camera and speakers.
In general, because of the large amount of glue, a high probability of damaging the front glass and the need to remove the display for any repair procedures, specialists iFixit gives the device two points out of ten.
