On March 21, the guys from Cupertino renewed the iPad range, eliminating the iPad Air 2 from their catalog and launching the iPad, an iPad that had a starting price of 399 euros, and of which in Actualidad iPhone We have already carried out a complete review. The first thing that stands out is that its thickness is very similar to that of the iPad Air, and not the iPad Air 2, the model it is replacing. A few days after hitting the market, the guys at iFixit completely disassembled the device to see the repair possibilities it offered, obtaining a score of 2 out of 10.
But the guys from iFixit have been in charge of making a list comparing the different components of the iPad 2017, components that as we can see in the following image they are the same as on the first generation iPad Air. Among the components that they share with the first generation iPad Air we find:
- Digitizer.
- Headphone jack.
- Drums.
- Microphone.
- Left antenna.
- Closing stickers.
The screen, contrary to what had been rumored, is not the same as that of the first generation iPad, since that of the iPad 2017 is 440 nits while that of the iPad Air is only 200 nits. The rear camera of this new model is the same as that of the iPad Air 2. The components that the guys at iFixit have not been able to check are compatible with connecting lightning, the left and right speakers and the right antenna. Component compatibility is very good news for all those users who have an iPad Air and intend to renew it for the new iPad.
