iPad Pro 10.5' Teardown

It’s time to say goodbye to the 9.7 inch iPad Pro. According to Apple, 10.5 inches is the goldilocks size for their newest Pro. It’s not too big, not too small, and is essentially a refined version of its 12.9 inch predecessor.

This Pro packs an on screen keyboard with full sized keys, improved latency when using the apple pencil, a fancy new display that offers true tone color plus pro motion, all powered by Apple’s new A10X Processor. With so many upgrades, we’re left with only one option: get out our tools and tear it down!

I love my iPad Pro 9.7", but it seems like springboard keeps crashing because apparently its a about a gig short on RAM.
Anyway, with all that adhesive, you would think the iPad would have a bit more water resistance.
My iPad, when facedown, is sometimes hard to pick up, and sometimes get added stress on the Lightning port. Lightning port replaceability, and added water resistance should be added in future revisions. Not to the extent of an iPhone, but enough to resist 100% humidity or a quick splash for short periods, as people using tablets also use them as portable TVs.
Would the water/humidity resistance of this recent iPad be better, than say, previous generations? I'm hoping that if they are going to be using ore adhesive, it better come with water and environmental resistance, than to reduce serviceability, ala Samsung. Otherwise, I'm very disappointed at the move towards planned obsolescence for a black box system.

Is it a way where the ipad pro 10.5 glass digitizer can be replaced. instead of the whole LCD

[racsito]

Just for the purpose of having a thin and sturdy device, I prefer this than one easy to dissemble.

[adriananzano]

fused front panel = laminated display = better everything

Can you use the the selfie camera when you take it outside and use it as a spy cam or something cause I took my one out and want to use it as a spy cam

[roymariogaming]

I have this iPad and the apple button although it works still it doesn’t push in anymore, is this button easy to repair even though it’s fingerprint?

[SethiestSeth]

Is the Surface Pro next on the teardown list?

[Jack-hxyz]

Stop complaining about the display and glass being fused together. The improvements of laminating a display to the glass makes up for it.

[nacholibre]

Wheres a good place to buy this display?

[charger]

Apple doesn't want anyone inside their devices. But, , we will ALWAYS find a way.

Please use Wh, it's written right on it, 30.8

[fredrikdahlin]

Is the A10X made with 10nm process? That would be huge as A9X used 16nm.
