This is the iPad Pro, the screen size is the largest of the series 12.9 inches.


If you overlap with Surface Pro 4, you can see that iPad Pro is thinner and bigger.


Since the screen of the iPad is glued, first warm it and melt the adhesive, then insert the pick in the formed gap and open it.

Disconnect the connector as the display cable is connected.


The body part and the display part are completely separated vertically with this. This is the main body (bottom) side.


In fact, the battery occupies 50% of the area.


It is in the part of the body angle ... ...


It is a camera. However, although the size of the main body is upsizing, "It looks like it is the same as that of iPad Air 2".


Then put a hand on the logic board in the center of the main unit.


It is the heart of iPad Pro.


Surrounded by red frame is A9X 64 bit processor. The orange part is LPDDR 4 RAM (2 GB × 2), the yellow is Toshiba's 32 GB NAND flash.


Such things on the side of the battery ... ....


This is a sticky tab used to fix the battery. I find that people who are in charge of disassembly are happy because the work becomes very easy.


Battery is on both sides of logic board, capacity is 10307 mAh.


According to iFixit, the smaller the number is, the more difficult it is to disassemble. The disintegration difficulty of the 10-step evaluation is "3". Since the battery and the logic board are not bonded by solder, it is relatively easy to remove it. However, because the front panel and the LCD are perfectly attached, there is a possibility that the LCD may be damaged when opening the main unit, and the repair cost when the screen is broken is likely to be high.

However, since the Lightning cable included with iPad Pro is a USB 2.0 compatible product, in order to realize the speed of USB 3.0, it is necessary to buy a cable compatible with USB 3.0 that Apple will release in the future.
