|---|---|
| [* black] iPad Mini 5 earns a ***2 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): | |
| [* green] A single Phillips driver takes care of all the screws. | |
| [* yellow] Many components are modular and can be replaced independently, but the Lightning port is soldered to the logic board. | |
| [* red] Battery replacement is possible, but still unnecessarily difficult. | |
| [* red] Gobs of adhesive hold many parts and cables in place, complicating all repairs. | |
| [* red] Removing the home button is tough, and will be required for display replacement if you want to keep Touch ID functionality. |
