hi guys I'm Gwendolyn gay and this is
the iFixit rundown where I give you all
the news that's happened this month at
iFixit here's what we've been up to our
tear down table has been quite busy this
month we started off with the new iPad
Mini for the mini 4 has a not so cool
fuse display 8-megapixel isight camera
and 2 gigabytes of RAM in the same 7.9
inch mini form that's some of us love
but will it's for better than last
year's model check out the complete
teardown find out unless you've been
living under a rock for the past month
you might have heard that the new
iPhones were released we sent a crew to
Australia to be the first to get their
hands on one so we can tear it down
first we gotta look at the new iphone 6s
where we got our first look at the new
tactic engine we even got some cool
x-rays of it in the works digging deeper
we found some amazing tech on the board
including the Apple a 9 system-on-a-chip
with 2 gigabytes of samsung LCD vr4 ram
we also got our hands on the iphone 6s
plus and as we didn't want it to feel
left out we tore it down too while most
of the changes in the new 6s plus were
similar to the changes in the 6s we did
notice that the Plus has a smaller
taptic engine it also has a much larger
camera due to the optical image
stabilization hardware lastly we took
apart the new Apple TV and the
redesigned Apple TV remote if you're
wondering what makes the 4th generation
Apple TV so much bigger than previous
generations look no further than these
huge pieces of course we had to take a
peek at the new remote as well we found
that it has a touch screen controller
similar to those seen in the iphone 5s
5c and ipad air and a 410 milliamp hour
rechargeable battery to see all the
details of these exciting tear downs
check out the teardown page on a fixed
com and of course you can see the video
teardown review right here on our
channel over at our blog we have a great
story of a few kids that embodied what
we try to express that I fix it first
repair is probably easier than you think
and second if it's already broken and
destined for the trash you really have
nothing to lose by trying the kids over
at fixer
AB get to work on fixing a fan and the
result is an inspiration to aspiring
fixers everywhere if you want to check
out their video we'll have a link in the
description below we also have a story
about Jeffrey Fowler a journalist for
The Wall Street Journal who had a friend
with a broken stamps on TV when he took
to the internet to find out how to fix
it he found how difficult it was to find
guides from manufacturers he also found
a new passion for the right to repair

at our YouTube channel we also took a
closer look at what makes the new iphone
so water resistant after seeing many
successful water tests online we had to
see how this was possible and why Apple
didn't promote it as such there were a
few subtle changes that made a huge
difference likes a modified case and
some redesign cable connectors among
other things to see the whole story
