Introduction
Le nouvel iPad Pro 11" a des joints plus étroits, les coins de l'écran LCD sont arrondis et les bords en silicium sont nettement coupés. Il s'agirait là de l'iPad qu'Apple rêvait de fabriquer dès le tout début. Mais nous rêvons d'un appareil facile à réparer. Cet iPad comblera-t-il ces deux vœux ou décevra-t-il le nôtre ? Il n'y a qu'une seule façon de le savoir, le démonter !

Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Voyons un peu en quoi cet iPad Pro se distingue de ses pairs :
-
Écran Oxide TFT Liquid Retina, rétro-éclairé par LED, entièrement laminé, avec une résolution de 2388 sur 1668 pixels (264 ppp), compatible avec la technologie ProMotion
-
Processeur octa-core A12X Bionic sur mesure Apple, avec coprocesseur de mouvement M12 et carte graphique intégrée 7-core
-
Caméra arrière de 12 mégapixels, avec enregistrement de vidéos 4K à 60 i/s et caméra TrueDepth de 7 mégapixels avec enregistrement de vidéos 1080p
-
Son auto-équilibré avec quatre haut-parleurs
-
Face ID, cinq microphones, capteur de luminosité ambiante, accéléromètre, baromètre et gyroscope à 3 axes.
-
802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual band MIMO Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0
-
Stockage intégré de 64 Go, 256 Go, 512 Go ou 1 To
-
-
-
Les années passent et Apple semble toujours plus près de réaliser son rêve de vendre une sobre dalle en verre ornée de son logo au dos.
-
Par bonheur, nous avons un as dans notre manche, les rayons X de Creative Electron, sinon ce truc resterait un bête rectangle noir.
-
Comme toujours, les parties les plus sombres de l'image représentent les matériaux les plus denses qui absorbent plus de rayons X. Il s'agit en général des aimants, utilisés pour les haut-parleurs et les accessoires à clipper.
-
Nous en voyons bien plus que d'habitude cette fois.
-
-
-
Il est l'heure de l'inspection visuelle. Nous trouvons un nouveau numéro de modèle au-dessus du Smart Connector qui vient de changer de place. A1980.
-
Il ressemble beaucoup à son prédécesseur de 10,5", et les 2 mm perdus sont difficiles à repérer en raison des coins arrondis.
-
C'est pas que ça nous dérange, mais ça nous rappelle quelques uns des concurrents plus réparables de l'iPad.
-
Quelques dernières remarques avant de nous lancer dans le vif du sujet : pas de prise jack ☹, un port USB-C (non Thunderbolt) à la place du Lightning et un long ovale sombre pour charger le nouveau Pencil.
-
-
-
Nous avons adoré dépecer notre premier iPad enduit de colle et le plaisir est à chaque rendez-vous.
-
Notre expérience se révèle utile, mais ces joints extra fins sont plus pénibles que d'habitude. Chauffez, insérez, retenez votre souffle et espérez ne rien casser.
-
Petit aspect positif : les nappes de l'écran sont à une bonne distance des joints. Mais leur disposition complique le retrait de l'écran.
Actually on the left side of the display there are some sables that are quite close to the edge. DIYers beware!
-
-
-
Ces nappes ne sont pas encore saines et sauves, nous voilà obligés de laisser l'écran de travers pour les déconnecter en espérant ne rien abîmer.
-
Nous mettons notre tournevis cruciforme à l'œuvre pour libérer les connecteurs des deux nappes.
-
Nous apercevons à présent ce que les rayons X voulaient nous montrer ! Le quatuor de haut-parleurs de l'iPad saute immédiatement aux yeux.
Is there a reason for empty space in the body of the iPad? Prevent interference or damage from the wireless charging unit?
The space is reserved for Display cable/PCB. You can refer to the X-Ray photos and the screen assembly
What is the name of the flex cable that was disconnected from the logic board after removing the protective plate at the top of the screen? The flex cable seems to have a microphone and a few sensors. On the repair I am working on the customer has ripped one of the sensors and it needs to be replaced but I cannot find a replacement.
I may have figured it out, but can’t find a replacement part anywhere at this time. I believe the flex contains the Ambient Light Sensor, Flood illuminator, Dot projector.
Does anyone know where they have seen this part for purchasing?
Hi Brandon,
This part is difficult to source, because it is inherently paired to the T2 security chip—you can’t restore functionality with a replacement part unless you have access to Apple’s special software.
This question may have been answered already - maybe I missed it - there is a flex sensor cable at the top of the display - each end of the cable has some kind of sensor that fits into a notched area at the top of the iPad case. It also has other components that fit between the cameras and dot detector. Does this cable have anything to do with Face ID?

-
Et voilà le nouvel écran Liquid Retina. Il a pris du galon depuis la première fois que nous l'avons vu et a le même taux fantastique de rafraîchissement que celui de l'iPad Pro précédent.
-
Ce nouveau et très chic écran abrite quelques puces :
-
Contrôleur de synchronisation Parade Technologies DP825 (le même que celui que nous avons trouvé dans l'iPad Pro 10,5")
-
Texas Instruments TPS65158 (peut-être une variation du CI LCD Bias TPS65168)
-
Intersil 24883A D826AB
Is this the reason why the left side of the ipad is warmer than all the device?
i cant find this specific screen anywhere
-
-
-
Trépignant d'impatience de jeter un premier coup d'œil à la fameuse puce A12X, nous décollons le cache de la carte mère.
-
Mince ! Comme d'habitude, la carte est collée et c'est encore plus casse-pied avec les haut-parleurs qui bloquent le passage et empêchent de faire levier.
-
Mais notre fougue finit par en venir à bout. La carte mère émerge triomphalement du ressac des cellules de la batterie.
-
-
-
-
Nos efforts sont récompensés par du silicium :
-
Système sur une puce (SoC) A12X Bionic APL1083 Apple
-
Stockage flash TSB3247M61710TWNA1 Toshiba (64 Go au total)
-
2 modules de RAM 8MBT9 D9WHG Micron (4 Go au total)

Contrôleur d'alimentation CD3215C00 Texas Instruments
Looks like there's is a reserved space for second nand storage chip. I wonder if in future storage updates would be possible?
The space is likely to be filled if you bought the higher capacity iPad Pro option. This is the lowest capacity option, so there is a free pad.
More interesting is that the DRAM looks like it’s mounted on the same substrate as the A12X (ie not directly on the PCB like earlier iPads), so slightly closer to the PoP of iPhones. Is the substrate Si, or something else with lower capacitance than PCB?
It is not PoP package(Package-on-Package) . From the photo of A12X, it should not be PoP package(processor is next to two memory chips). Is that TSMC’s InFo or CoWos package technology?
JJ Wu -
Yes, that substrate is super-interesting. We need benchmarks comparing RAM bandwidth between this and the prior-gen iPads. What’s next for Apple … HBM?
HBM can provide higher BW. But, from power consumption, most likely, it can not be. LPDDR4x can provide lower power consumption menory solution for mobile devices, such as iPad.
JJ Wu -
So for the 6GB of RAM in the 1TB version, it is likely there is 1x4GB and 1x2GB DRAM chips, or might Apple have actually put 8GB of RAM, but only expose 6GB for user apps ?
perhaps the extra 2GB would used by the storage controller so it can manage the extra 512GB of storage ?
Any plans to tear down the 1TB version ?
I wonder what’s the minimum storage option that will start having a second NAND chip (assuming that empty space will indeed be covered with a second NAND chip in other size options).
I believe that TI’s CD3215C00 is a USB-3.1 redriver.
What are the dimensions of this board?
Does anyone know which Tristar chip this model uses?

L'heure de la batterie a sonné ! Nous ne sommes pas fan des iPad de l'année dernière qui avaient laissé tomber les languettes adhésives étirables d'extraction.
-
Cette année, les bandes d'extraction reviennent en force, il y en a 6 en forme de U cette fois ! Chaque bande a deux languettes, donc les réparateurs ont une seconde chance si une d'elles se déchire. Sympa !
-
Mais fini de rigoler. Un énorme amas de supercolle englue tout le côté gauche. Soupir. Il est temps de sortir nos outils de levier.
-
Ça nous coupe le souffle. Pourquoi Apple a fait une chose pareille ? Nous ne pouvons que supposer que cet adhésif sert à "améliorer la rigidité".
-
L'iPad est alimenté par une batterie de 7812 mAh, 3,77 V et 29,45 Wh. Un léger pas en arrière depuis les 30,8 Wh de l'iPad Pro 10,5" et une énorme infériorité face à la batterie de 45 Wh de la plus récente Microsoft Surface Pro.
“We were left speechless. Why would Apple do this?”
Those speakers pack a load of low bass.
component vibrations are out.
That is definitely a possibility. However, we were confused as to why Apple would choose to use stretch adhesives in conjunction with it, and why it’s only one one side of the battery…the left side. We found a similar band of super-adhesive in the same location on the new 2018 iPad Pro 12.9”.
Very weird. Is it possible that Apple repair techs use an adhesive dissolving solution? Would make the repair “easy” for them while keeping the batteries solidly in place.

Au suivant ! Voilà un débutant sur l'iPad : Face ID.
-
Enfin, c'est le même matériel de base que sur l'iPhone X – projecteur à faisceaux infrarouge, caméra selfie et caméra infrarouge – mais la forme a été légèrement modifiée.
-
Tant que nous y sommes, nous pêchons la caméra arrière. D'après Apple, elle est aussi performante que celle des iPad précédents, mais elle a été reconçue pour être plus fine.
-
La perte de l'OIS et la bosse de la caméra toujours aussi proéminente laissent croire que le compromis était au rendez-vous.
The IR dot projector IS the flood illuminator.
No it isn’t. Those are two separate components, just like on iPhone.
The IR flood illuminator sits right between the FaceTime- and IR-camera and is probably part of the front assembly, while the IR dot projector is way off to the right of the FaceTime camera as seen above.

Retirons maintenant ces haut-parleurs, vous nous suivez ?
-
C'est plus facile à dire qu'à faire. Les logements sont carrément moulés dans la coque en aluminium et n'ont clairement jamais été destinés à être retirés de là. Les ôter demande une tonne de chaleur et de persévérance.
-
Les tweeters sortent sans piper mot, mais les woofers font les grincheux … Espérons qu'ils sont faits de "jamais-en-panne-ium" !
-
Cachés dans le logement des hauts-parleurs : encore plus d'aimants ! Si l'on nous donnait une sou pour chaque aimant ici, nous serions millionnaires !
Any idea why so many magnets? That looks like 12 in the housing on the right side, but only one voice coil with the one large one in the middle. What are the 3x3 array on the left, and the 2x1 array on the right for?
Accesories. I suppose that’s because such a matrix allows a nearly perfect allignement with pencil/keyboard, thinking to a “flatter” magnetic field instead of a round big one

Au tour de la carte de chargement Pencil avec ses bobines de chargement en cuivre.
-
Bien qu'elle soit techniquement retirable, il y a des victimes à déplorer …
-
De minuscules condensateurs et d'autres éléments de la carte s'envolent en signe de protestation lorsque nous retirons les plaques de protection. Sommes-nous désolés ? Non, nous ne le sommes pas.
-
Qui est-ce qui se cache dans ce coin ? On dirait bien un microprocesseur ARM Cortex STM32L476JGY6 STMicroelectronics.
Those flying board bits are the Chinese spy chips trying to evade identification. Conspiracy theorists discuss…
Do you think it would be possible to "extend” the charging coil from outside so that pencil could be charged without removing from a case? I’m very unfamiliar with how coil charging works so this may be a totally stupid question. In the simplest terms I’m thinking of just a piece that fits on the outside of the ipad case where the pencil would go, and extends it about 5mm into the hole on most of the cases that are currently available.
Technically, that is possible, and one could even build it into a case. You could place something made of iron in a specific shape that would couple and extend the magnetic field out. Efficiency would drop based on how well it’s implemented though. But, this wouldn’t be necessary if the case material is thin.
Most likely! Please check this link for more details.
Can this piece be used sand alone without the rest of the iPad? I want to sit my pencil on a desk charging and not always drawing power from my already fragile battery ? life on my iPad. I was thinking maybe just ‘Aquire this part’ & make an external case for it.
my iPad Pro 2018 has a damaged pencil charging magnetic coil. So my iPad is not recognising any pencil. Apple is also not offering any service. What can I do about it?
We're you ever able to get it fixed?
where can we purchased this item. i have water damage board for this. pencil no work and not detected
Did you ever find a replacement part?
What is magnetic sensor for smart cover?

-
Il ne nous reste plus qu'à faire un sort au port USB-C qui est entièrement modulaire, contrairement aux derniers iPad.
-
Comme il s'agit d'un composant à forte usure, sa dissociation de la carte mère est un bon point pour la réparation.
-
Pour ceux qui ont beaucoup investi dans Lightning, ce n'est pas forcément une bonne nouvelle, mais consolez-vous : le marché de l'USB-C, une forme non-propriétaire, est plus standardisé.

Le châssis ne comprend plus qu'une tonne

“At least USB-C offers faster throughput in a standardized, non-proprietary form factor.”
At least Lightening could configure itself to carry analogue audio at an adequate power level for headphones.
The Lightning spec has never allowed analog passthrough, to the best of my knowledge—it’s all digital. If it could carry an analog signal, you wouldn’t need a DAC embedded in the headphone dongle. USB-C headphones in general are definitely kind of a mess right now though.
“At least Lightening could configure itself to carry analogue audio at an adequate power level for headphones.”
Do you mean that this cannot? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2...
Lightning plugs have all of their contacts exposed, and users inevitably touch them, depositing skin salts and oils that together with the electrical current over time causes corrosion of the plugs and the device’s internal contacts. USB-C ought to be much more reliable in the long term because users can’t casually touch any of the contacts. Lightning cables also have an extremely high failure rate at the point where the cable attaches to the connector, with broken conductors and/or insulators.
USB-C also can handle much higher current and much faster data rate than Lightning.
And USB-C allows for hard drives, Ethernet, monitors, DSLRs, CD/BluRay drives - if anyone uses them - CD seems basically dead - is BluRay on its way out too?
Just about. It’ll be replaced by SD’s or small SSD’s, which will likely be followed by holochrons.
I’m glad they decided to make the type c port modular, as an iPhone user who’s used to Lightning port robustness I’m never comfortable plugging in type C devices.
Type C’s snap feels quite similar to USB micro-B, which in my experience they don’t last long ( at year 2 they started getting loose, and at year 5 most of them has lost most the resistance if not all. In contrast I have never found an iPhone with loose lightning port.
Hi, I’m a newbie to self-repairs but basically my charging port or the “chip” that the local repairmen said may be damaged, can someone tell me what is that second part above the USB-C charging port? Oof, much gratitude and thanks.
where is the micrphone

We tried pairing the old Pencil to the new iPad by using a Lightning to USB-C connector, but the iPad refuses to acknowledge the old Pencil.
We honor the engineer’s sacrifice
how did he get cut? I thought iFixit was safe!
“She” actually =) I was wearing safety goggles, but unfortunately my hands weren’t wearing armor.
Is there a technical reason why the new pencil couldn’t be backward compatible to the first-gen iPad Pro? Or to allow for wireless charging on the old iPads, could Apple have made a thin smart-connector accessory that would get power from the smart connector and then have the necessary Qi-like charging coil to transmit to the ApplePen2. That would be a problem for the first gen non-Pro iPad, which doesn’t have a smart connector - but it could also have a lightning plug in the center.)
It seems that “buy the pencil now, upgrade to a new iPad pro later when you have the 2K to do so” marketing strategy might work. Though if you’re going to drop 2K on a new iPad, 0.12K for a new pencil really isn’t that much I guess.

What is the gold piece at the end of the pen? My dog chewed mine off. Its still working ;)
If it's the same as in the 1st gen teardown, then:
the antenna, decked in the familiar Apple black and gold
I’m surprised the Apple IC (blue) doesn’t have “P2” on it (P for “pencil”).. How does the “tap” work - is it a tap of the pen tip on a surface, or a finger tap/squeeze on the barrel of the pencil itself? The capacitance grid looks like it’s separated into “square-like-areas” (9x6 it looks like). Could this be to allow for multi-touch on different places? Something like different brushes in a graphics app depending on where you held the pen? (Say holding it with index and thumb - close to the tip end for a writing tool, middle for something like a paintbrush , or the “erase” end for something like a “spray-paint” or dodge/burn brush).
Or (either as an Apple joke, or a third-party joke) use said hypothetical multi-touch capacity to turn the Apple Pencil into a kazoo/flute? (Or a Ressikan flute penny whistle for the Star Trek fans?). But that would need a separate tip or some device to pick up the signals and transmit them over a longer distance - or does the Apple Pencil use “normal range” Bluetooth?
Been wondering at the battery capacity of this thing. It seems to discharge much faster than the previous generation, but also charges much faster. I had a hopeful guess that maybe it was a capacitor and not lithium, increasing longevity and justifying the odd capacity quirks.

Nous avons eu la peau de cet iPad Pro, en voilà les parties constituantes !
-
Difficile de dire si c'est une bonne ou une mauvaise pomme. Il y a un port USB-C modulaire et des bandes adhésives étirables d'extraction pour la batterie, mais le tout est encore pratiquement englué et une bande d'adhésif conventionnel tenace fixe également la batterie.
-
On dirait qu'Apple essaye de changer, mais qu'une voix intérieure a été plus forte que celle du bon ange de la réparabilité cette fois-ci. Cela dit, les produits fin 2018 d'Apple accusent tous un peu d'amélioration et nous espérons que le bon ange gagnera en influence.
Can you highlight the magnet locations? Maybe tear down the keyboard or folio case? Interested to know where the focus of the magnetic contact are. Might help with future case designs.
For magnets, you can’t do much better than the X-ray image in Step 2.
-
- Le port USB-C est modulaire et peut être remplacé individuellement.
- La disparition du bouton home physique élimine un point de défaillance courant et peut simplifier les réparations.
- La batterie est fixée à l'aide de languettes d'extraction étirables faciles à enlever et d'adhésif conventionnel plus dur à enlever.
- L'écran LCD et la vitre avant sont fusionnés, ce qui facilite l'ouverture mais augmente les coûts de la réparation.
- On trouve des tonnes de colle tenace presque partout, au grand dam de toute réparation.

Just a question on how these 2-cell batteries work…
If I’m on 50% battery charge, will both “sides” be half-full or will one be completely depleted?
The 2 cells are connected in parallel so they both drain at the same rate.
With the 1TB model having 6GB, is that achieved with a higher capacity part or is there space for a third RAM chip?
As I noticed the ram is installed on chip, it is unlikely there will be enough space for a third one
So either the 1TB version uses two 3GB RAM chips (not sure this size exists), or the A12X on the 1TB version offers up the additional 2GB internally, or the flash controller contains 2GB RAM that somehow gets mapped into the OS (doubt this). I have the 1TB version and am just curious how this is implemented.
tskwara -
There were 3GB LPDDR4 RAM chip offered by Samsung and were used in the iPhone 8 Plus. Not sure if it will be the case of the iPad Pro, but 3GB RAM did exist.
24 Gb (3 GB) LPDDR4X packages are definitely a thing, so most likely just two of those.
It said that there is 4GB in total
Concerning this picture from step 5: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig...
Is there really so much unused/empty space on the left side of the enclosure or am I missing something here?
And could you provide the battery ratings for Apple Pencil 2?
If you look at the XRay photo and the screen assembly, you will find that these space are reserved for display cables.
Indeed, the display panel’s logic board occupies this space. In the last iPad Pro teardown, however, no extra space was needed.
Simon -
Well, in the iPad Pro 10.5 inch model this empty space is located on the bottom side of the enclosure.
Simon -
My guess is that it’s a loudspeaker enclosure, among other things it helps make the sound more punchy and less tinny from the 4 woofers
How did they get all those parts into the pencil?
Magic, Elves and Fairies at the FoxConn factory. All of the above have small hands! ;-)
Custom engineered enveloping and machining.
An apple shop representative in Miami, told me that, the 1tb model iPad Pro is on par with this you opened up and all the others, about the ram, so it is just 4gb.
she said the 6gb ram on the 1tb iPad Pro is only a rumor.
Has anyone evidence of this 6gb ram? If I can be sure about it I would buy that size of memory..
This firstly comes from Xcode which implies that there is a new iDevice with 6GB RAM, and it is very likely to be the new iPad Pro, as none of those iPhones get 6GB RAM.
GeekBench indicates that there are 4 models of iPad Pros has 6GB Memory: iPad8,2,iPad8,4,iPad8,6 and iPad8,8.
All of those models have “x“ in the Mother Board model name, and those names somehow connect from each other, for example: “J317xAP“ for iPad8,2; “J318xAP“ for iPad8,4; etc, and iPad8,8 got “J321xAP”.
In contrast, the ones with 4GB RAM do not have “x” in their Motherboard name. For example, iPad8,7 got “J321AP“, indicates that model is similar to iPad8,8, but the latter is an “enhanced x“ version.
The iPad pro 1TB model has 6GB of ram, but this is to help with the extra storage, no performance gains sadly.

What type of aluminium is the iPad Pro made from?
What about the extra Holes in this new iPad? There is one on the display front, right next to the FaceID Camera. And there is one on the left side in the middle. First i thought it is the SIM tray removal hole… but: i am using the WiFi model…
Microphones. The iPad has multiple mics to help with noice cancellation and for Hey Siri functionality.
djfriar -
The ability of the Face ID to work in both orientations is hw- or sw-based? Thanks.
please uninstall all Magnets! Over 100.. new wight ? Nothing is netter than a lightweight Tablet
If you compare the 11-inch to the 10.5 inch last year, the wifi model is actually lighter.
This also applies to the 12.9 vs 12.9
So those magnets did not make the tablet heavier. If you are comparing the 12.9 inch this year with 10.5 inch last year, of cause it is heavier
Can anyone give a definitive answer as to if the 1tb version has 6gb ram please.
I'm a total non tech so forgive my lack of tech
But I've read many reviews and learnt a little
Even one of the messages above refers to Xcode 'implies'
Still nothing definitive
Others say the geekbench tests don't prove 6gb but suggest
Got thru to Apple managers of both CPU and IOS department
- unbelievably they don't have a clue!
…and even they agreed Apple should publicise their specs
We all get why they don't but still…
Still no certainty after over 3 weeks of rumours.
Plus much debate over whether it'll make any difference for any but the uber power users
So probably only solution is a tear down of a 1tb
Have I missed this?
Even a hi tech apple store guy I know well said ifixit had a tear down to prove the 6gb
..but all I can't find this.
Seems like the only definitive answer is a tear down
Is this going to happen guys?
Thanks
Why do they have so many magnets in the speakers, I always thought a speaker needed one magnet to drive it’s respec driver?
what is the frame part made of, looks not strong enough to support the whole structure and will cause bending over time.
BE WARNED! the replacement screen does NOT come with the ambient light sensor attached. You will need to use your old one and unless you attach it perfectly (the sensors are held in place by hot glue), face ID will no longer work. If I were to do the repair again, I would spend the extra $100 and have Apple replace it.
Que son los flex que están incluidos en la pantalla? Dos inferiores y uno superior. Tengo un ipad a1980 con todos los flex cortados al separar la pantalla y no encuentro información para identificarlos.
The screen on my iPad is toast (tends to happen when you leave it on the roof of your car and drive down the interstate). I’m looking at purchasing a new screen from here, but have one question on it. The screen as shown in the teardown has connectors both top and bottom of the display, but the screen available for purchase only shows the bottom set of connectors. Is there a different assembly at the top of the display for something else, perhaps mic or ambient light sensor that I need to acquire?
Hi David,
You are right—those look like the ambient light sensors and mics. Try to detach them from your original display to transfer to your replacement screen. You may need to use some heat. Pry carefully with a non-metal tool.
If you replace the display with the one on Ifixit, does 120hz ProMotion go away when you replace the screen?

Hi,
nachdem mein Dipsplay defekt war und bei der demontage auch noch da flexkabel der FaceID gerissen war, musste ich mir ein neues einetzen.
Dennoch meldet das ipad nach dem Ersetzen der zwei Teile das die FaceID nicht funktioniert und der Stromverbauch ist enorm auffällig nach Oben gegangen. Kann es sein, das diese Flex mit Sensoren und cam, nicht ersetzt werden können (sollen)? Daher der hohe Stromverbauch
Gruß Matthias
I've replaced the screen on one of these and tried 3 other Digi/lcds and only the bottom portion where the swipe to unlock bar is will receive touch input, the bottom 1 cm of the screen if that. Is this an issue anyone's run into? If so did you find a solution and what might I try?
Purchased the usb dock from ifixit, they didn’t include any screws. How cheap they are.
