So far we'd only known that the new iPad Air 2à ¸�à ¸´à ¸¡à ¹�à ¸¥à ¸�à ¸¡à ¸�à ¸�à ¸¥ packs an advanced 64-bitApple A8X SoC, but a teardown https://www.facebook.com/bernoonsub has now revealed much moreabout the device. Repair and teardown specialist iFixit revealed that the iPad Air 2 comes with 2GBRAM, the most for any iOS device yet.

According to iFixit, the iPad Air 2 mostly includes minor changes on the inside, such as repositioneddisplay cables, tweaks to Wi-Fi antennas and more. But one major detail that the teardown reveals isthe 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 theiPad Air 2 is up to 55 percent faster than iPhone 6, and up to 68 percent faster than last year's iPadAir.

Other than that, the teardown confirmsan approximately 15 percent smallerbattery compared to theà ¸Â�à ¸·à ¹Â�à ¸Âà ¹Â�à ¸Â�à ¸Â--à ¸£à ¹Â�à ¸¡à ¸Â�à ¸Â�à ¸¥last year's iPad Air. The new iPad Air 2packs a 7340mAh battery (27.62 watthour) instead of 8827mAh (32.9 watthour) found on the iPad Air. The rearcamera is an 8-megapixel iSight cameraand front FaceTime HD camera is of 1.2

megapixel.

Interestingly, the teardown also reveals the presence of the NXP 65V10 NFC Controller, the onefound in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, though the iPad Air 2 does not officially support NFC.

Overall, the Apple iPad Air 2 is similarly glued like its predecessor. Apple has also kept the Lightningconnector port on the logic board, which means if the port is damaged and needs to be replaced, theentire 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 tabletdoesn't include any surprises. The rear camera is a 5-megapixel iSight camera and front FaceTimeHD camera is of 1.2 megapixel. Just like its predecessor, the iPadhttps://www.facebook.com/bernoonsub mini 3 packs an Apple A7 processor and 1GB LPDDR3DRAM. Apple had added the support for its fingerprint sensor Touch ID and NFC controller, eventhough the iPad mini 3 does not officially include NFC support.

TheiFixit team, which also rates the devices based on ease of repairability, gave the iPad Air 2 and iPadmini 3 an identical 2 out of 10, which means both devices are quite difficult to repair.
