The iPad Pro 12.9" 4th Gen "earns a 3 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
The USB-C port is modular and can be independently replaced.
-
The lack of a physical home button eliminates a common failure point and may simplify repairs.
-
The battery is secured with both easier-to-remove stretch-release tabs and conventional, non-removable adhesive.
-
The LCD and front panel glass are fused together—simplifying the opening procedure, but increasing the cost of repair.
-
Gobs of adhesive hold most everything in place, making all repairs more difficult.

Who manufactures the LiDAR hardware?
Looks like a ToF not real LiDAR. Apple marketing spin again
i.thanh -
https://tof-insights.com/time-of-flight-... Goes into details on pros and cons of a ToF versus LiDAR - and it appears there are many reasons why it makes sense to do a TOF LiDAR versus a full system when we are talking about a mobile device. Marketing spin, I hardly think so. It’s achieving the same functionality with many benefits on the device end.
When are you going to get a look at the IC’s in this?
it actually is a lidar and not a time of flight camera
