iPad Pro 10.5-Inch and 12.9-Inch 2017 Models Come With 4GB of RAM

Separately, iFixit also confirmed in its teardown of the 10.5-inch Apple iPad Pro that the tablet indeed comes with 4GB of RAM. In its teardown, iFixit found that Apple has used the same internal design as the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro on the new 10.5-inch variant of the tablet. Regarding the placement of the display cables in the middle of the device, iFixit said, “We’ve seen this arrangement in an iPad only once before [in the original 12.9-inch model], and it appears Apple finally managed to unify the Pro line around this somewhat more symmetrical design.”

Further, the teardown revealed that in order to achieve the unprecedented refresh rate of 120Hz, Apple had to incorporate four connecting cables to the display, compared with two cables on the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro. In its teardown, iFixit also found that fused front panel increases the cost of screen repair and that there is a risk of damaging the LCD when opening. Considering these factors, unsurprisingly for a device by Apple, iFixit gave the 10.5-inch variant of the Apple iPad Pro a reparability rating of just 2 out of 10.
