Atomic isotope? Would be even worse for tech waste, but imagine the 'battery' life. 25 years...
Ideally you'd have a removable power module which you can take from device to device... a "zap drive". Brought to you by the US Nucleics Corporation.
and the point of this is?
I'd love to know the weight of the battery and the glass display.

I work for the company, so color me a little bias, but the point of these teardowns has always been threefold. First, learn about hardware design. See how a company was able to make the latest cool new device. Second, some people are interested in only buying devices that they can repair. This teardown showed that it would be damn hard to repair most parts in this. Third, people want to know about how green the devic…
Fourfold: advertising impressions. Presumably that's why the article went up tonight rather than spending time doing more research into availability of parts and so on which would be required if people were truly interested in a device they can repair. :)
iFixit is known for providing teardowns soon after product releases--I don't see anything wrong with that.

Availability of parts will probably be in line with the previous iPad, and will most likely come from iFixit themselves. iFixit is known for providing teardowns soon after product releases--I don't see anything wrong with that.

Thanks for the breakdowns. I also appreciate knowing the chips used. In this case, there was no reference to how you found the A5 had 512 MB RAM. I remember your/Chipworks previous A4 x-raying, showing the stacked CPU and RAM chips inside the module.

Except for the fact that they force us college students at Cal Poly to do their tech write-ups for our Technical Writing class. iFixit is filled with a bunch of losers. Sorry for being blunt, but half their "how to"s are written by college students forced to make them for our grade.
How can they force you? Why does the university allow that?
