iFixit Apple Pencil teardown, there is no surprise because there is no Apple Product which iFixit didn't teardown. 

Just like always, iFixit gave iPad Pro teardown treatment providing the detail of iPad Pro hardware. According to iFixit, most of the iPad Pro internals are similar to iPad Air 2, Some differences include brand new loud Four-speaker audio setup.


Speaker drivers are sitting on each of the corners next to a capped resonance chamber. The identical design of speakers helps in shifting the function of the speakers depending upon the orientation of the device. Top speakers are build to produce high frequencies and bottom speakers produces low frequencies. Uncapping the volume chamber, which give iPad Pro's speakers 61 percent more back volume than the iPad Air 2. Carbon fiber caps filled with foams are used to amplify the sound. iFixit observed that the speakers are taking a lot of space that could have used for accommodating battery to increase the capacity by 50 percent. Previous iPads never used Premium speakers like iPad Pro uses, so the speakers also don't take a lot of space.


iFixit find Logic Board in the center of the body which used to be in the side of the body in previous iPads. Logic board also has shielding which had to be removed before reaching the Logic board, Previous iPads had no shielding on the logic board.

iFixit found that iPad Pro uses DP695 Timing control which is almost similar to the timing controller used in the 5K Retina iMac, But the timing controller is modified to better use display refresh rate. They also found iPad Pro batteries easier to remove as they have adhesive pull tabs under the battery.

Reaching to the parts which matters most, iFixit told that iPad Pro's carries 4GB of RAM, a 2.25GHz  Dual Core A9X processor and 10307 mAh battery which gives 10 hours of battery life to iPad Pro.

iFixit has given iPad Pro 3 out of 10 in repairability score section. The iPad issue is that iPad Pro uses a lot of adhesive in order to pack device compactly and the adhesive has always noticed to be against repairability. but iFixit tells Smart connector will never fail as it is not based on any moving parts but although it's virtually impossible to replace.

On Monday Tim Took told investors to not even try guess how much Apple Supply Chain costs are, but that's doesn't stops some analyst from trying to predict the price of the components of the Apple Watch. IHS Technology disassembled the 38mm Apple Watch Sport and according to them the $350 Apple Watch Sport costs less than $83 for its components.

During the disassemblage IHS also discovered that the Apple Watch may have the lowest hardware costs when compared to the retail price any other Apple product. IHS also estimated that the MRSP ratio of the other Apple is somewhere between 24% to 98%, but Apple Watch lands on 24% ratio which is extremely low.

Even though that cost doesn't the money Apple loses on faulty components, software, Logistics and all other costs which are associated with the Apple Watch. According to IHS the most expensive hardware piece of the Apple Watch is the tiny LG OLED Display which costs around $20.50. The S1 processor is for about $10.20 and the 512MB of RAM accounts for $7.20. 
According to the experts at IHS the cheapest component is the tiny battery (for which fans are extremely worried) which is a hell of a lot of cheap at only 80 cents per piece.
