hey everyone Scott from iFixit here with
the June iFixit rundown June was an
incredibly busy month for us with a ton
of tear downs one of the most
interesting was the 21.5 inch retina
iMac expecting a run-of-the-mill
iMac tirion we got the surprise of our
life when we discovered the 21.5 inch
iMac with 4k display headphones
removable RAM and a modular CPU
according to Apple neither of these are
user replaceable and while they aren't
the easiest to access it's definitely
possible an upgradeable iMac is a
massive shift in direction for Apple and
it's the first 21.5 inch iMac with the
modular CPU since 2012 we also got to
see a brand new 10.5 inch iPad pro which
revealed itself to be a scaled-down
version of its 12.9 if credit buzzer
this iPad had all the annoyances we've
come to expect from iPad such as a
firmly Glidden battery and logic board
however we weren't happy to see Apple
using standard Phillips screws instead
of the victorious triQuint screws we saw
in similar locations in the hi Phone 7
but Apple wasn't the only company to
release devices this month we also tore
down the Microsoft Surface laptop and
the surface pro 5 the surface laptop was
a case study in designing a laptop that
is neither upgradable nor repairable in
fact you can't even open it without
destroying it the surface laptop was so
bad it earned a rare zero out of 10 on
our repairability scale and the surface
pro 5 didn't do much better earning only
a one out 10 we haven't done a full
teardown of a oneplus device in a while
so we decided to take a peek at the
insides of the 1 plus 5 if you're not
looking for a phone that's tightly glued
together the 1 plus 5 is for you with
the display held in by clips modular and
easy to remove components and no
proprietary screws to be seen the
oneplus 5 was a welcome change of pace
for us and it earned a 7 out of 10 on
our impaired ability skill we had so
many more teardown this month and if you
missed any of them make sure to check
them out on our channel for head on over
to - sitcom last arrow tear downs
weren't the only thing that happened
this month New Jersey just became the
latest state to introduce a right to
repair bill making it the 12th date to
consider similar legislation this year
it passed right to repair legislation
would require manufacturers to publish
repair information and sell parts and
diagnostic tools advocates such as
repaired org hope the
laws will encourage consumers to repair
their devices rather than replace them
we're sure July is going to be just as
busy as June so make sure you subscribe
to our channel to stay up to date we'll
see you next time
