Still, the experts of repair over at iFixit picked up an iPad 2 and decided to take it apart, as usual. We got contacted by Miroslav Djukic, Director of Technical Communication and linked us with a preview article which is live now.

In the article, you can see iPad 2 being stripped naked to the tiniest component. We saw that some of the components are directly taken from the original iPad, with no changes whatsoever. Then again, if it ain't broken - why change it?

For the last image, we leave you with the look of the iPad 2 as it was prior to being put together and shipped from Shenzen port towards rest of the world...
