Apple’s new iPad Air only went on sale today, and the guys over at iFixit have already taken the new iPad Air apart. Have a look at the photos below to see what they found in Apple’s latest iPad.
The iPad Air comes with a range of different storage options from 16GB to 128GB, and the iFixit guys got their hands on the 128GB model.
Display and Processor
The iPad Air comes with a 9.7-inch Retina display that has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, providing users with a crisp and clear viewing experience. This high-resolution display is perfect for everything from watching movies to editing photos. The device is powered by Apple’s new 64-bit A7 processor, which offers significant performance improvements over its predecessors. This processor not only enhances the speed and efficiency of the iPad Air but also supports more complex applications and multitasking capabilities.
Additional Features and Camera
In addition to the A7 processor, the iPad Air also features an Apple M7 motion coprocessor. The M7 coprocessor is designed to handle motion-related tasks, freeing up the A7 processor to focus on other functions. This results in improved battery life and more efficient processing. The tablet also comes with a 5-megapixel iSight camera on the back, which is capable of capturing high-quality photos and 1080p HD video. On the front, there is a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera, perfect for video calls and selfies.
The iPhone 5S only scored 6 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability test. The new iPad Air scored slightly worse with a 2 out of 10, so it looks like it may not be very easy to repair Apple’s latest tablet. This low score is primarily due to the extensive use of adhesive and the difficulty in accessing internal components without causing damage.
Battery and Connectivity
The iPad Air is equipped with a 32.4-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, which provides up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music. This long battery life ensures that users can enjoy their iPad Air throughout the day without needing to recharge frequently. In terms of connectivity, the iPad Air supports dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and MIMO technology, which offers faster and more reliable internet connections. It also includes Bluetooth 4.0 technology for connecting to other devices and accessories.
