Armed with a dedicated set of tools, the iFixit team opened up the tablet and found out some interesting details. First, the repair of the screen is much cheaper than the Pro models, since the display is not laminated. However, to dismantle the display module, you need a knack and an anti-adhesive fluid for softening a copious layer of glue \u2013 the display is almost permanently glued to the body. We are not surprised, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9264\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_05_screen.jpg\" alt=\"iPad 2018 (6th gen) screen\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_05_screen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_05_screen-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_05_screen-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the support of the Apple Pencil now, the iPad still has independent glass and display itself. They are detachable, so the cracked protective glass can be replaced, leaving the old display. The A10 Fusion chip is similar to that in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The tablet also has 2 GB of RAM. The controllers developed by Broadcom are responsible for processing the signals coming from the Apple Pencil stylus. Exactly the same are installed in the iPad Pro. Another thing that we were pleased to see was that Apple still continues to use the battery from the previous iPad 5 \u2013 model number A1484 with a 32.9 Wh capacity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9260\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_03_battery.jpg\" alt=\"iPad 2018 (6th gen) battery\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_03_battery.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_03_battery-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_03_battery-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are also some changes in the logic board due to the Apple Pencil support:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u2022<\/span> Apple A10 Fusion APL1W24 SoC (also found in the iPhone 7) with 2 GB Micron D9VBD LPDDR4 SDRAM layered beneath<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">\u2022<\/span> Apple 343500203-A0, likely a PMIC, possibly a revision of the iPad 5&#8217;s 343S001441-A0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">\u2022<\/span> 2x Broadcom BCM15900B0 touch screen controller found in the 10.5&#8243; and 12.9&#8243; iPad Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9258\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_01_logicboard.jpg\" alt=\"iPad 2018 (6th gen) logic board\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_01_logicboard.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_01_logicboard-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_01_logicboard-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u2022<\/span> Toshiba TSB3236LX3536TWNB1 32 GB flash memory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">\u2022<\/span> USI 339S00448 Wi-Fi\/Bluetooth module<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">\u2022<\/span> NXP&nbsp;80V18&nbsp;PN80V NFC controller<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #54e8a8;\">\u2022<\/span> Cirrus Logic CS42L83A low power audio codec<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9259\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_02_logicboard.jpg\" alt=\"iPad 2018 (6th gen) logic board\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_02_logicboard.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_02_logicboard-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ipad2018_02_logicboard-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, the new iPad is almost a complete copy of the previous generation model.
