I know it’s not repairable but the way that Apple Pencil is designed is incredible. How the heck did they fit all that tech in there and make it mass manufacturable.
The Apple Pencil having still a Taptic Engine that has the label inside, besides the fact that practically no one is going to see it is insane. Glad Steve's philosophy still lives on.
Should be but it won't since Apple had to basically force, Samsung and LG which make most OLED TV's to make this, tandem OLED. Told them current OLED they using in TV not good enuf i.e. burn in, saturation and peak brightness being biggest issues. Definitely has to be most expensive part this iPad since basically sandwhich 2 OLED panels together. No way they could scale that up to 65" TV sizes.
making a fully repairable pen would make the product objectively worse but they definitely should’ve added a way to change the battery when it starts to wear out or use a capacitor which don’t really degrade overtime and almost charge instantly, but they have much lower energy density
And basically necessary. Pretty much no digital Pencil like this is repairable AT ALL. Being it the S Pen (and its thousand variants) or pens from Wacom and such. There is just no wanton built those in a way to repair them. There isn't space for that
Its crazy. Last night I put a new battery in a 10 year old Kindle Paperwhite and had it running again, then I did a flashmod upgrade and case and battery replacement on an iPod. Within 10 years we went from being able to replace parts for kit that would last decades to spending $1000 to rent/lease e-waste.
I love this channel. as a big fan of repairing things myself I find these videos priceless. I also like how you guys are on camera. love the editing and pretty much everything else. keep up the great vids!
I beg to differ, that asmr was the bestest I've ever come across, and I usually avoid that like the plague, felt it right behind my eyes, think my headphones also sang an ode to joy, so great job! thumbs up
While I understand the difficulties in making small electronics like earbuds repairable, the pencil still seems like something you could pretty easily have a battery at the top that could just slide out. I'm sure there are balance considerations or power distribution issues, but it feels like something that needs to happen.
It does not a replaceable battery - are going back to the AA and AAA battery days are we? This would also make the device larger and the cost of the battery would be at least 50% of the device, so where’s the economical advantage?
I had an Apple Pencil gen 1 that sat in the box for a while (over a year) between purchase and finally using it. When I tried to use it, the battery was completely dead and wouldn't charge at all. It was very frustrating having to buy a new one.
Disagree with all improvement you mentioned Why i would care about the pull tabs if changing the battery with a genuine one will trigger a warning message What does it mean " repairable " if modules are paired What improvement in the pencil over last gen if you cannot put it back together
What's the point of repairability score or repair time, everything is serialized it gets zero , i think ease of disassembly is termed as repairability in this video.
I’d be interested in seeing the reverse side of the logic board to see how it connects up with the copper apple logo, doesn’t make sense given the chip is on the top side
That’s where the display controller goes, it is connected to the screen and so leaves a space when the screen is removed. You can just about see it when the screen is being taken off at 0:57.
Great job as always, guys! Happy to see some progress from Apple, the battery should be even easier to repair that what they have but this is miles ahead of previous gens. I understand that specially tablets are not computers and (most) ppl don't expect them to last for like 10 years, but batteries specially die far quicker than that, specially on a 1 day device. I hope the next gen is even better, having to heat glue just to replace a battery seems excessive for ordinary people and counter productive for technicians. But again, great job from iFixit!
The best way Apple allows consumers to 'reduce their carbon footprint' is by making devices & software that are as good to use 5-6 years down the road as they were when you bought them.
Bro, I feel so bad for anyone who was wearing headphones at the time he was cutting the Apple pencil in half. I was watching it on my TV and the volume barely even up and it hurts so much.
The fancy shadow thing they did with the pen almost overshadowed my concerns for practicality, but this brought me back to my senses. The new ipads and pens have their place, but apparently, that's not with me yet. I'm not in a position to treat my electronics as disposable.
@@Seacle14 this. And if something actually breaks on the Pencil, it's generally destroyed entirely to begin with. Pretty much nothing in that thing would break on its own that would even make sense to be replaced
It would have been worse for the environment if the pencil was repairable. Because repairability would have come at the cost of reliability and complexity. For an otherwise currently indestructible device

iFixit has a much more careful teardown with a greater purpose. I wonder if Apple could make a two part Pencil with a screw in battery side, not sure how pretty it would look as they want a seamless design and I guess it would make it a three part design if we include the nib.
