iFixit shows that repairing the 2024 iPad is much easier

Thanks to detailed analysis and durability tests, especially bending the iPad 2024, we are learning a lot about the ultra-thin design of the new iPad Pro. Recently, iFixit performed an in-depth "dissection", revealing a major internal change that can help "save hours of iPad repair". The video also gives us our first look inside the new Apple Pencil Pro.

iFixit's teardown gives us the best overview of the internal components of the new iPad Pro M4. Close-up video of the new dual OLED (tandem OLED) screen, rearranged front camera and perhaps most importantly, the battery.

The battery inside the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 has a capacity of 38.99 Wh, slightly smaller than the previous generation's 40.33 Wh. Of course, Apple says you can still expect more than 10 hours of battery life thanks to improvements in the M4 chip's efficiency and better heat dissipation.

The main highlight, however, is that you can now remove the iPad Pro's battery without having to disassemble "all major components" first, like with previous generations.

iFixit's Shahram Mokhtari explains, "While removing these battery adhesive parts is a bit difficult, the fact that you can remove the battery without having to disassemble every major component inside this device is still an advantage for repair. This is a great improvement compared to previous generations.

Watch iFixit's full "dissection" video of the new iPad Pro M4 and Apple Pencil Pro below. It's interesting to see the changes to the internal structure for an ultra-thin yet durable design.

Note: Although repairing the iPad battery yourself may pose a potential risk of damaging the device and endangering yourself. Therefore, TipsMake still recommends that you use iPad battery repair services at authorized Apple warranty centers or reputable repair shops.
