iFixit has posted a teardown of the iPad 2 revealing its internal components.
A new model number graces the iPad 2: A1395. Thank you, Apple! That's much nicer of you than the twenty-six billion iterations of MacBook Pros you called model A1286.
Key Observations: ● As much as we hated trying to remove the clips in the original iPad, this much adhesive is even more of a pain. Be ready to crack your front panel if you dare open it! ● 3.8V, 25 watt-hour battery. Capacity of 6930 mAh. ● Broadcom BCM5973KFBGH Microcontroller used for touchscreen ● Broadcom BCM5974 CKFBGH capacitative touchscreen controller ● Apple 1GHz A5 Processor ● Toshiba TH58NVG7D2FLA89 16GB NAND Flash ● Apple-branded 338S0940 A0BZ1101 SGP ● Wi-Fi board; powered by another Broadcom chip, a BCM43291HKUBC ● AGD8 2103 gyroscope next door to the LIS331DLH accelerometer, both by STMicroelectronics.
iPad 2 Repairability Score - 4 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair) ● The LCD is really easy to remove once the front panel is gone. ● Only standard Phillips screws were used -- no Pentalobular or Tri-Wing funny-business. ● The front panel is now glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it. ● The battery is very securely stuck down to rear case, and you have to remove the logic board to remove it. ● You can't access the front panel's connector until you remove the LCD.
