Apple launched the iPad 10th generation in October. Now, the tablet has received popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything’s (Zack Nelson) comprehensive durability test and teardown. He has uploaded the video on his YouTube channel. Apple claims that the 10th generation iPad is made of 100 percent recycled aluminium.

The YouTube video of the iPad 10th gen is 10 minutes long. It starts with a scratch test at the 4-minute mark. On the Mohs hardness scale, the display gets visible marks at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7. The tablet’s sides are then subjected to a scrape test. The Youtuber says that it is made of anodized aluminium. The power button that doubles up as a fingerprint scanner does not scratch. However, the back panel was prone to scratches and Zack is seen sketching a cartoon character. 

After the scratch test, the screen is then subjected to a fire test for 15 seconds via a lighter. It makes the pixels on the LCD panel turn Black but recovers after some time. 

The iPad 10th generation finally goes for a bend test. It snaps in to two when applying pressure from the back panel. The tablet’s weak spot is said to be its keyboard connector dots on the side. The YouTuber then tears down the iPad and adds that looks pretty repairable. 

As for the key specifications, the iPad 10th generation features a 10.9-inch LED display bearing a resolution of 2,360 x 1,640 pixels and offering 500 nits brightness along with True Tone technology. It has a 12MP front and rear-facing camera. The tablet is powered by an A14 Bionic chipset and packs up to 256GB storage.
