Everyone is talking about the speakers, but the IPad Pro is actually extremely powerful for a tablet yet all the components are so minuscule.

Oh wow, the whole thing works through that small strip of circuit board and yet it is so powerful. The level of tech today just amazes me!

[ryowannabe]

Oh look there’s an iPad on your speakers

[RuviaPawz]

Those speakers though they are so massive for a tablet

I must say after significant use and as an audiophile who has used many speakers and headphones, the ipad pro speakers are really great...no buzzing or any such distorted noise to the music.... perfect treble and base! I am in love

[saiiiii]

Damn!!anyone noticed those giant speakers?

[mdmudasshir]

Was eagerly waiting for this tear down

Is the 11“ Edition (2018) build and opened the same way? Its easy putting everything back together?

[crispyjokingtuna]

anyone else notice the a12x isn't the normal square shape?

[irfanj]

I remember that how scared I am to full blast the volume on this thing at the retail store. The speaker are amazing

[turret]

Surface Go scored 1, iPad 6 was 2 and iPad 10.5 was also 2 and suddenly 12.9 got 3.
There's any standard for tablet?

[mark]

Waiting for the 12.9, longest wait of my life, who knew that wait would be a full month :(

[kenlorow]

Please open the new Ring alarm base unit.

Hi guys, thank you so much for the teardown video. My Apple Pencil has stopped charging on the iPad, but weirdly enough it also doesn't want to charge on other iPads. Weirder still, new apple pencils don't want to charge/connect on my iPad. Chicken or the egg? What is the pencil charger part called? I cannot find it anywhere online.

Why is there a giant channel of empty space in the iPad chassis? Does the display have some sort of protrusion that fills the space? Or am I missing something?
