Apple released its latest iPad Air 5 last month which comes with the same design but features the M1 chip. The M1 chip houses the same performance capabilities as the iPad Pro at a lower price. However, the device features another major aspect that aids in easier repairability. The iPad Air 5 features stretch-release pull tabs for easier battery replacement. Scroll down for more details on the subject.

The news was shared by the repair website iFixit, suggesting that the new iPad Air 5's battery comes with stretch-release battery pull tabs for easier removal and replacement. In contrast, the previous models feature a completely glued-in battery which was quite difficult to remove. Moreover, it required a solvent like an isopropyl that technicians commonly use to loosen the grip of the adhesive under the battery.
