How is the new iPad on the inside?


When Apple introduced the new low-cost 9.7-inch iPad , both its look and technical specifications suggested that the tablet was essentially an iPad Air with minor updates .


IFixit has "gutted" the new iPad of 2017 in its traditional devices teardown and has discovered that this is it. The new iPad is basically an iPad Air.

"REMEMBER WHEN WE SAID IT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FIRST AIR? TAKE A LOOK AT AIR 1 AND THE NEW IPAD RESPECTIVELY. IT HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH. "

The company has found a couple of changes . But he has thrown some doubts about the supposedly bright screen of Apple's low-cost iPad.

This is the new 9.7-inch iPad inside

Externally, iFixit has noticed three clear differences: the lack of a mechanical lock switch, much smaller microphone holes and a single line of holes for the speaker.

Inside, the big difference is the integration of the Touch ID button and the hardware associated with it. Since iFixit are not very pleased with the launch of this new iPad ...


"Thumbs up the fingerprint reader. Thumb down for a more thorough repair, since the sensor is only paired with its motherboard in the factory. At least this lovely button is still a button (not like the iPhone 7). "

As for the iPad screen of 2017 that Apple claims to be brighter, in iFixit believe that it is not true that iPad Air 1 screen.

On the other hand, we have already advanced several times that the new low-cost iPad is slightly thicker and heavier than its predecessor, iPad Air 2.

As we are told via 9to5mac the most significant difference in the company's new tablet of the bite apple is the implementation of the processor equipped with the A9 chip , but it is still not a particularly powerful update. What do you think about the new Apple iPad?
