Demolition: The iPad Mini - evertiq.pl

Does the new iPad Mini is a worthy brother to the iPad Air, or a successor Mini? Specification is sure to please many a man, but the demolition is now worse as evidenced by the low score for another Apple product.

Apple released a new iPad Mini. The current model includes a display diagonal of 7.9 inches with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 px (326 ppi), dual-core A7 (the architecture 64-bit), co-M7 processor, 5 megapixel camera, WiFi dual MMO. It is available with capacities from 16 to 128 GB. Model designated as A1489.

We take the opening set, because, as you’d expect, the front panel display is really a lot of sticky glue. This is nothing new in Apple products, it does not mean that it is “okay”. Group iFixit, which begins to follow coped with this task without too much trouble.

Further loosening the screws can pull it out, and then the display itself “Retina”. It operates under control of Parade DP675, DP655 used is similar to the Air. Element of power seem to be paving the TI TPS65143A and TPS65195. Touch screen controller is the Broadcom BCM5976 (such as in the recent Apple products).

Time to look at the batteries. But before we will probably terrible removing them, let’s look at the specifications. Can work at a voltage of 3.75 V, offering a capacity of 24.3 Wh (6471 mAh), which is a significant jump from the previous model, the Mini. However, despite this, the manufacturer is still the operation time for approximately 10 hours. Their removal as predicted, the simple do not. You need a little effort in their removal. It can be heated? But be careful! Remember that this batteries.

Another component that we show the way the cameras, front (1.2 megapixel) and rear (5 megapixel) and the headphone jack socket. There are also speakers and antenna. He stayed yet another significant section of the iFixit group has unpleasant memories of last year following the demolition of the model, as they are written. The reference is to the base plate, which, however, this time it sticks to the adhesive, but that does not mean that pops up to us alone. On the surface you will find:

• 339S0213 USI WiFi module
• main processor Apple A7 APL0698 with integrated F8164A1PD Elpida Memory (1GB LPDDR3 DRAM)
• co-processor to handle the traffic NXP LPC18A1, marked also by Apple as the M7
• NAND Flash 16GB Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01
• accelerometer / gyroscope MEMS STMicro B334 (I like the Air)
• audio codec from Cirrus marked as Apple 338S1213
• Apple 338S1199 audio amplifiers
• Apple 343S0656-A1 (as mentioned by Chipworks, this is the energy management system of Dialog Semiconductor)
• and MOSFET Fairchild Semiconductor FDMC6676BZ and FDCM6683.
