-
The headphone jack and one of the many wireless antennas come out as a single unit. Bummer.
-
Well hello there! Fancy to meet you here iSight camera.
-
You have what specs? Oh, a 5 element lens, an IR filter, and auto exposure. Stop it iSight, you're making us blush...

iPad 3 Repairability Score: 2 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
-
The LCD is easy to remove once the front panel is gone.
-
The battery is not soldered to the logic board, making the replacement process a tad less difficult.
-
Just like the iPad 2, the front panel is glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it.
-
Gobs, gobs, and gobs of adhesive hold down everything in place, including the prone-to-start-a-fire-if-punctured battery.
-
The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to the front panel, increasing chances of it being shattered during disassembly
-
You can't access the front panel's connector until you remove the LCD.
