iPad FCC Teardown




iPad FCC Teardown

Update 4/3

We have taken apart a production iPad, with much higher resolution photos.

FCC Photo Analysis

The FCC was kind enough to show the internals of the WiFi iPad before it was released! The photos
that they put up had the interesting bits hidden behind grey squares, but we were able to extract the
raw files! The WiFi iPad is officially Apple model A1219, while the 3G iPad is A1337.
Apple requested this information stay concealed until August 17th. Clearly, the FCC ignored them.
Note: This is not a traditional iFixit teardown. These photos are not up to our normal quality standards,
and it's quite difficult to perform analysis on the low-resolution files. We will be doing a real teardown
of the iPad on April 3, the moment we get our pre-ordered units.

Update: 3G iPad

We have uncovered internal photos of the 3G iPad, which won't be released for at least a month!
Starting at step 14.
Just want the highlights? Stay tuned to @ifixit for news as we unveil it.
