iFixit disassembled the new base model iPad (2022) and found that the layout of the parts in the new product was almost exactly the same as the two-year-old iPad Air (2020). About informs Version of GSM Arena.
Inside, the iPad (2022) and iPad Air (2020) differ only in the location of the front camera – in the new model it is located in the upper horizontal frame. By contrast, the iPad Air (2020) has a magnetic charger for the second-generation Apple Pencil in this place. iFixit believes the new iPad doesn’t get support for the new stylus just because the camera replaces magnetic charging.
In the case of the iPad (2022), Apple used a motherboard with the same design and dimensions as the iPad Air (2020), but for some reason decided to solder a USB Type-C connector to it. iFixit sees this decision as a major miscalculation because it complicates and increases the cost of repairing a USB slot at times. For comparison, the iPad Air (2020) used a Lightning connector and was modular, meaning it was disconnected from the board.
At the same time, experts praised Apple for using special stretch bands that help remove the battery without fear of damage. Similar accessories are also used in the iPad Air and iPad Mini.
iFixit has not released a final repairability rating for the iPad (2022). At the same time, the iPad Air (2020) only scores 2 out of 10. Most likely, due to the similarities between the devices, the new product has a chance to get the same score.
