iPad Air STRIPPED BARE, revealing she's a high maintenance lady

According to the teardown fanatics at iFixit, Apple's new iPad Air is twice as easy to repair as Microsoft's equally new Surface 2 – which received an as-low-as-you-can-go repairability rating of 1 out of a possible 10.
The amount of glue holding down the battery caused the iPad Air's Australian disassembler, iFixit reports, to send them "one, last, coherent message before strings of expletives" when attempting to remove the battery: "It's the worst battery ever," he said.
Technology these days tries to make a repair as hard as possible so that customers either throw it away and buy it new, or bring it in for a replacement. In both cases the pollution increases, but unfortunately customers don't care much about that but instead complain that nobody protects the environment.
