iFixit's Teardown of New iPad Pro With M5 Chip Reveals 'Repair Paradox'Electronics repair website
iFixit today shared a
teardown video for the
iPad Pro with the M5 chip, revealing a "repair paradox."
Specifically, iFixit said the iPad Pro remains one of Apple's least-repairable devices, yet the company did
start offering self-service repair parts and manuals for iPads earlier this year. As a result of the self-service expansion, iFixit gave the latest iPad Pro a provisional repairability score of 5/10, which is higher than previous models.
Given the iPad Pro only received a spec-bump with the M5 chip, the teardown video does not reveal any notable internal changes.

The new iPad Pro launched last week, and Apple should release self-service parts for this particular model in the coming months.
