The Apple TV 4k passes through the hands of the iFixit guys

As the new devices that Apple introduced to the market on September 12 are coming to the market, the guys at iFixit are subjecting them to the usual tests to see how muchSimple or complicated is to repair the device in case of breakdown or accident. First it was the iPhone 8, followed by the Apple Watch Series 3, now it has been the turn of the Apple TV 4k, a device with which we can enjoy content in 4k quality from both iTunes and Netflix, HBO and others, but not YouTube , due to the fact that Apple does not offer support for the codec used by Google in the videos of the platform available in 4k.

The processor found in the Apple TV 4k, the A10X It is the same that we can find in the second generation iPad Pro, a chip capable of playing content in 4k HDR quality, but in order to do so it needs the help of a silent fan that occupies the entire width of the device. Using the processor with 4k content requires the maximum power of the processor for a long time and Apple has not wanted to have problems with heating in this regard.

If you have already done with this device, surely you have seen the grids available at the bottom of it, grids for which air is expelled from cooling the A10X processor, processor that is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM. Like the latest Apple TV models, the power supply is located inside the device.

As for the note that the Apple TV 4k has obtained, the guys at iFixit have given it an 8 Based on the fact that the plastic housing is disassembled in a very simple way, the interior components are modular which allows them to be replaced in a simple way, the power supply is also modular and allows us to change only the jack and that the screws are standard . The negative point is that most of the components are soldered to the motherboard.
