iPad Air 2 Comes With 2GB RAM, the Most for Any iOS Device Yet
1. iPad Air 2 Comes With 2GB RAM, the Most for Any iOS
Device Yet
So far we'd only known that the new iPad Air 2
à ¸‹à ¸´à ¸¡à ¹€à ¸¥à ¸‚à ¸¡à ¸‡à ¸„à ¸¥ packs an advanced 64-bit
Apple A8X SoC, but a teardown https://www.facebook.com/bernoonsub has now revealed much more
about the device. Repair and teardown specialist iFixit revealed that the iPad Air 2 comes with 2GB
RAM, the most for any iOS device yet.
According to iFixit, the iPad Air 2 mostly includes minor changes on the inside, such as repositioned
display cables, tweaks to Wi-Fi antennas and more. But one major detail that the teardown reveals is
the presence of 2GB RAM instead of 1GB used by Apple on recent flagship smartphones and tablets.
Earlier, a benchmark test https://www.facebook.com/bernoonsub by Primate Labs showed that the
iPad Air 2 is up to 55 percent faster than iPhone 6, and up to 68 percent faster than last year's iPad
Air.
Other than that, the teardown confirms
an approximately 15 percent smaller
battery compared to the

last year's iPad Air. The new iPad Air 2
packs a 7340mAh battery (27.62 watt
hour) instead of 8827mAh (32.9 watt
hour) found on the iPad Air. The rear
camera is an 8-megapixel iSight camera
and front FaceTime HD camera is of 1.2
megapixel.
Interestingly, the teardown also reveals the presence of the NXP 65V10 NFC Controller, the one
found in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, though the iPad Air 2 does not officially support NFC.
2. Overall, the Apple iPad Air 2 is similarly glued like its predecessor. Apple has also kept the Lightning
connector port on the logic board, which means if the port is damaged and needs to be replaced, the
entire logic board will need to be replaced.
Along with iPad Air 2, iFixit team also took down the iPad mini 3. The teardown for mini tablet
doesn't include any surprises. The rear camera is a 5-megapixel iSight camera and front FaceTime
HD camera is of 1.2 megapixel. Just like its predecessor, the iPad
https://www.facebook.com/bernoonsub mini 3 packs an Apple A7 processor and 1GB LPDDR3
DRAM. Apple had added the support for its fingerprint sensor Touch ID and NFC controller, even
though the iPad mini 3 does not officially include NFC support.
3. The
iFixit team, which also rates the devices based on ease of repairability, gave the iPad Air 2 and iPad
mini 3 an identical 2 out of 10, which means both devices are quite difficult to repair.
