Electronics repair firm iFixit released a teardown of the device and revealed a “repair paradox.” Despite Apple’s official self-service repair parts and manuals, the tablet remains among its least repairable devices.
The teardown, posted on October 30, revealed that the M5 iPad Pro is mostly a specification bump with no significant internal design changes. However, iFixit assigned it a provisional repairability score of 5 out of 10.
