  • Despite their similar hardware, iPads continue to lag way, way behind iPhones in their construction—this home button being a perfect example. On iPhones this is an easy, elegant swap, but here it's still a mess of glue, even after all this time.

  • Elsewhere on this display, we blast the shields off and smoke out the chips underneath:

  • Parade Technologies DP815 Display Port timing controller (likely)

  • Texas Instruments TPS65195 clock level shifter

  • Texas Instruments TPS65144 LCD Bias w/ integrated gamma reference

  • Intersil ISL24879 precision programmable LCD reference voltage generator

  • STMicroelectronics M24C64-F 64 Kb Serial EEPROM memory
