10.2-Inch iPad Teardown Confirms 3GB of RAM and Same-Size Battery

iFixit has completed its teardown of the new 10.2-inch iPad (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad+7+Teardown/126291) and uncovered the same 8,227 mAh/32.9 Wh battery as the sixth-generation 9.7-inch iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/04/03/sixth-generation-ipad-teardown/), while RAM has been increased from 2GB to 3GB.

The 10.2-inch iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) is similar to the sixth-generation 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!---->, with the same A10 Fusion chip and Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pencil/) support, but it has a larger display and a Smart Connector (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/smart-connector/) that enables support for Apple's full-sized Smart Keyboard (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/smart-keyboard/). Pricing continues to start at $329 in the United States.





Given the minor refresh, the 10.2-inch <!---->iPad<!----> has few hardware changes over the 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> beyond the larger display, addition of a <!---->Smart Connector<!---->, and an extra GB of RAM. Repairability remains low due to strong adhesives and a soldered Lightning connector, although display repairs remain feasible.
