iFixit has shared an Apple TV 4K teardown<\/a>, providing a closer look at the device’s internal design and components.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We already know the Apple TV 4K is equipped with Apple’s 64-bit A10X Fusion chip, and now the teardown confirms the device has a total of 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM supplied by SK Hynix. That’s up from 2GB RAM in the previous Apple TV.<\/p>\n

The new power supply is rated for 12V at 1.083A, a modest increase over the 12V at 0.917A power supply in the previous Apple TV.<\/p>\n

According to the teardown, Apple merged the new fan with the heat sink\/EMI shield assembly from the fourth-generation Apple TV to create a larger thermal assembly for cooling and ventilation.<\/p>\n

iFixit said the bottom of the unit has been redesigned with a total of eight exhaust ports and a new, replaceable fan driven by a Nidec brushless motor.<\/p>\n

Beyond the return of a Gigabit Ethernet port and the removal of the USB-C diagnostic port, which we learned about before the teardown, the Apple TV 4K’s design is largely the same as the previous Apple TV.<\/p>\n

iFixit gave the Apple TV 4K a repairability score of 8 out of a possible 10 points. The device is easy to open and has modular components, but they’re soldered to the logic board, so board-level soldering or full board replacements are required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
