Description: Let’s peek inside Apple’s 6th-generation iPad...

Steps:

  1. The iPad mini 6 earns a 3 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
  2. A single Phillips screwdriver takes care of all the screws.
  3. Some components are modular, but all repairs will require painstakingly ungluing the glass display.
  4. The iPad mini's battery is fastened with repair friendly stretch-release adhesive, but the removal process is marred by additional adhesive on other parts of the battery.
  5. Gobs of adhesive hold many parts and cables in place, complicating all repairs.
