Largest in history - iPad Pro disassembly
Largest in history - iPad Pro disassembly

As the largest iPad in history, the iPad Pro started pre-sales on Singles Day yesterday, but the iFixit, a foreign disassembly team that has always been quick, has been successfully obtained and broken up. Let's take a look at what the inside of the iPad Pro looks like.


As a rule, you should check the specific configuration of the iPad Pro before disassembly.

  • 12.9 "2732x2048 display, 264 ppi;

  • The third generation 64 bit A9X processor and M9 coprocessor;

  • 8 million 1080P iSight rear camera, 1.2 million 720P front camera;

  • 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac MIMO Wi Fi and Bluetooth 4.2;

  • 32GB or 128GB internal storage space;


Compared with the iPad Air 2, the screen has increased by 78%, and the performance has doubled thanks to the A9X processor


IPad Pro has designed a new interface - Smart Connector


The iPad Pro model is A1584

 

Compared with Microsoft's Surface Pro 4, the iPad Pro is larger and the Surface Pro is thicker

 

 

 

Similar to other Apple products, slightly heat it to melt the glue, and use suction cups and paddles to separate the screen

 

 

However, the iPad Pro screen cable is placed in the middle of the whole machine, and it takes a lot of effort to completely remove the screen


 

Look at the main chips on the screen panel:

  • Red: Broadcom BCM15900B0 x 2;

  • Orange: NXP 8416A1 Touch ID sensor;

  • Yellow: Purui Technology DP695 timer;

  • Green: Texas Instruments TPS65144;


Unscrew the fixed screw, pull out the cable, and the front and rear cameras can be removed


The first thing on the iPad: EMI electromagnetic shielding cover, which can be disassembled only after removal  


The headphone module of the iPad Pro is similar to that of the iPad Air 2, which also has two light sensors  


The four loudspeakers are long, and there is padding nearby. It is estimated that they are used to amplify the volume of loudspeakers


Before removing the mainboard, you need to deal with these two antennas using MIMO technology  


After the various connections are removed, the motherboard can finally be removed


The main chips on the motherboard are:

Red: Apple APL1021 A9X 64 bit processor;

Orange: Hynix H9HCNNNBTUMLNR-NLH 16 Gb LPDDR4 memory 2GB x 2;

Yellow: Toshiba THGBX5G8D4KLDXG 32 GB NAND flash memory;

Green: Ying Meisheng MP67B 6-axis gyroscope and acceleration module;

Sky Blue: NXP 65V10 NFC controller;

Blue: NXP LPC11U37 ARMCortex-M0 microprocessor;

Purple: Cirrus Logic 338S1213 audio codec;


Red: Ruisi FL1100 4-port USB 3.0 controller;

Orange: Huanxu Electronics 339S00045 Wi Fi module;

Yellow: NXP 1610A3;

Green: 343S00025-A1;

Sky blue: 343S00052-A1;

Blue: Maxion MAX98721CEWV;

violet: Fairchild Semiconductor FDMC 6683;


Next is the battery part. This time, for the sake of endurance, the iPad Pro has an amazing 10307 mAh battery capacity  


The last thing that needs to be removed is the new Smart Connector, which has more glue than usual  


After disassembly, I present a family photo. The iFixit gives a score of 3 points this time (the full score of 10 points is the easiest to repair). In any case, it is always difficult to maintain the products of the Fruit Factory. You should be prepared or buy a warranty. After all, most of the products have to be returned to the factory when they break down.
