iFixit’s latest finished project is its iPad 7 teardown. This is Apple’s latest low-cost tablet that succeeds the 9.7-inch iPad 6 from last year. While it features the same starting price at the 2018 model, there are certain improvements Apple has done from the inside, providing more utility for the user. However, there are still a few things iFixit has pointed out that will make repairs a little difficult but we’re already used to what Apple does with its devices. Here’s an in-depth look at the teardown.

According to the iPad 7 teardown, iFixit has discovered that in addition to increasing the screen real estate for this model, Apple has also gone ahead and increased the total RAM. The new model now features 3GB of LPDDR4x RAM, which is a whole gigabyte more than 2GB RAM present in last year’s iPad 6. Keep in mind that when the iPhone X launched back in 2017, it also featured the same RAM as the iPad 7, so a lot of customers will feel proud knowing they’ll only be spending $329 to have the same memory as a device from 2017 touting a $999 price tag.
