  • Apple TV (4th Generation) Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • Modular construction and only a few major components simplifies repair.

  • The power supply is a separate, replaceable component, and even its AC-in jack is modular.

  • Standard Torx screws used throughout, nothing proprietary.

  • The remote is held together with adhesive, but a wide gap makes it easy to pry apart.

  • The remote's battery and Lightning cable are soldered together—but not to anything else, so they should be an inexpensive component to replace.

  • Everything important is soldered to the logic board, meaning replacement or board-level soldering is required to solve port problems.

  • And that's a wrap. See you for an iPhone teardown down under! G'day, mate!
