These guys use such sophisticated machinery to get inside the Apple Pencil, meanwhile my boy JerryRig just snaps the thing in half

Apple Pencil built like a tank missile

Good to know that iFixit extends the right to repair to their own teardown experts! Who needs overpaid medical professionals?

13 FOOT iPad? No wonder they raised the price!

... the video title.

This is so therapeutic...for me....unlike some channels which destroys marvellous techs which stresses me up...aah..maybe I'm just getting older...

[spageen]

This guy pronounces every “t”. Simply impressive

[polloman]

When you slipped your hand I felt it in my knuckles, like when you’re wrenching around your car and a bolt slips
I feel you bro 💔

"The many good people at Apple working on repairability?" Ha! I'll believe it when I hear it from Rossmann!

[ryddyx]

The cursing at 6:07 made me laugh pretty loud - Hope it gets better soon

[wokeupina]

That’s what we were waiting for fellers!!

You say the software is amazing to work with? The M4 has way more potential but is hindered by the under featured iPad OS

[Aries]

I wonder what would happen if you would only connect one of the tandem OLED screens. Would be fun to see under the microscope which of them is functioning, the top one or the bottom one.

[samk]

One thing you gotta give apple credit for is that even tho they hate people opening up their devices, it always looks super clean once you get inside. Idk why they do that if nobody's gonna see it. But it's cool

[Grant]

I know it’s not repairable but the way that Apple Pencil is designed is incredible. How the heck did they fit all that tech in there and make it mass manufacturable.

[Rcky]

You can tell how much hard work this guy has done by counting the number of Band-Aids on his fingers.

[gerardrosales]

The Apple Pencil having still a Taptic Engine that has the label inside, besides the fact that practically no one is going to see it is insane. Glad Steve's philosophy still lives on.

[MikeAzul]

Apple has to get repairability and backwards compatibility in check

[crisnmaryfam]

"Unrepairable pile of E-Waste" The single best description for Every Apple product.

Remember the surface pen? It has a AAAA replaceable battery that could as well be a lithium ion battery. No need to have this in a oen
