  • Operation: Battery Extraction is underway! Since we've seen retinas before, we've got a bit of an eye-dea how to proceed, but you aren't going to hear it since the speakers are out next.

  • Where once there were four screws holding the battery frame in place (perhaps superfluously, with all of the adhesive used), there are now four rubber stoppers.

  • The previous gen's adhesive seemed plenty strong—so, is Apple poofing away these screws because they weren't ever needed, or because they aren't needed now? Perhaps a stronger adhesive made these screws unnecessary? We shudder at the thought.
