Apple debuted the new Apple TV 4K with a faster processor and a redesigned Siri Remote. While not much is changed when it comes to the set-top box, it remains to be seen how it holds up. It all boils down to repairability and iFixit's Apple TV 4K teardown reveals some interesting details. In a nutshell, the Apple TV 4K is easy to repair but the Siri Remote is not. Scroll down to see more details on the teardown.

The transparent plastic housing of the Apple TV 4K allows Siri Remote to be used from any angle since the IR light can pass through it. Moreover, the fan inside is connected to the motherboard using pins instead of a cable which makes it easier to disassemble. iFixit notes that the components are arranged in layers which makes it easy to use a screwdriver for disassembly. This allows for a modular design and easy to repair.
