   After covering demean of Verizon iPhone 4 as well as the teardown of new Macbook Pro, it’s time to turn towards the mewly released Apple iPad 2. The magical Apple tablet is out now, and we’ve already seen video reassessment of iPad 2, but let’s get under the hood, so to speak. Folks over at iFixit, the pioneers in tearing down hardware, took mere hours to teardown iPad 2.
   Fundamentally, it seems like the iPad 2 uses similar Broadcom touch controllers and Wi-Fi chip that is found in the first-generation iPad and recent iOS tools.
   After the front panel of the iPad 2 is removed and the LCD is lifted up, it is observed that the inside of iPad 2 is mainly all battery, a monolithic but amazingly thin battery. The inside is also pretty tidy.
   One of the defining features of the iPad 2 has to be the dual-core A5 processor. Indeed, it’s an Apple 1GHz A5 dual-core Processor with a 200MHz bus and 512 MB of Samsung fabricated RAM.
   The original iPad had a 24.8 watt-hour battery whereas the iPad 2 has a three-cell 25 watt-hour battery which offers a little better battery life than that of its predecessor. The best part is that the battery is thinner, automatically calling for a much thinner, and 33% to be exact, iPad.
   Shortly, iFixit gives the iPad 2 an overall furbish up score of 4 out of 10, with 10 being the easiest to repair. The fact is that Apple has ditched screws, albeit not entirely, for holding the iPad 2 together. Alternatively, Apple has used glue on the front panel of the device to keep it glued to the actual body of the tablet itself. The significantly less amount of screws used are standard Phillips screws, and nothing unparalleled.
