After we saw whats inside the HP's All-In-One yesterday. Its time now to look inside the Apple iPad. All of us would have seen a Apple iPad. But... have you seen what's inside the iPad.

Here it is....

A Look at the inside of APPLE iPad 3 4G​

STEP 1: The iPad

STEP 2: Tools Required

STEP 3: The Rear

STEP 4: The 5MP Camera

STEP 5: Some heat from the heat gun to melt the gum that holds the screen and guitar picks to hold it apart

STEP 6: Heavy duty suction cups helps to lift the top glass panel

STEP 7: A screw here and a screw there - here it comes the Super-Amazing 3,145,728 Pixels Retina Display

STEP 8: Its time to spudge the display connectors

STEP 9: The Display Panel seperated -- Interestingly the model numbers reveal its a SAMSUNG display

STEP 10: The Display Panel out what next -- The Logic Board

STEP 11: The Logic Board removed out of iPad

STEP 12: So, what we got in the Logic Board

Dark Orange: Texas Instruments CD3240 driver device
Light Orange: Broadcom BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio with integrated Bluetooth 4.0+HS and FM transceiver

Sky Blue: Fairchild FDMC 6683
Dark Blue: Broadcom BCM5973 I/O controller
Pink: Broadcom BCM5974 microprocessor

STEP 13: Look at the other end of the Logic Board

Dark Orange: Qualcomm PM8028 Power Management IC
Light Orange: Qualcomm RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver for 3G and 4GLTE bands

STEP 14: So where's the Processor - well its on the completely other side of the Logic Board

Dark Orange: Apple A5X processor
Light Orange: Apple 343S0561 - This IC looks like an updated version of the 343S052 that we found in the iPad 2, and is used for power management.

STEP 15: The Processor cover removed

STEP 16: Removing the Giant sized Battery

While the iPad 2 housed a formidable 25 watt-hour Li-ion battery, the iPad 3 has upped the ante to the tune of 42.5 watt-hours. Each separate cell lists its rating of 3.78 volts and 14.60 watt-hour.

STEP 17: Lets remove the Dock Connectors

STEP 18: A look at the micro-SIM card slot

The iPad 3 4G has a user-accessible micro-SIM card slot that can be ejected with the help of a handy SIM card eject tool.

STEP 19: The wireless Antennas - One of them has the Headphone jack built to it

STEP 20: Say CHEESE - The 5MP rear Camera followed by the front faciing camera

STEP 21: Speaker Assembly

STEP 22: Buttons and Switches we use on the outer panel

STEP 23: Say Bye to the iPad
