Yesterday the new 13-inch iPad Pro got put through a grueling durability test involving scratches, burns, and bends, and today we have the next logical step – a teardown video.
This tablet is barely thicker than its USB-C port, which is a feat of engineering in itself – though let’s not forget the port may be to blame for the iPad’s ‘performance’ in the aforementioned bend test. Then again, it is very easily replaceable, so it has that going for it.
Over on the inside, the entire logic board sits in the middle surrounded by two battery packs, with two speakers at both ends. It’s a way simpler internal design than you may have anticipated, Apple just ensured there’s nothing else in between the batteries and the screen and back plate.
