SMRTR summary
Phone Repair Guru built a functional seventh-generation iPad using components primarily from AliExpress to compare costs against a $200 Canadian refurbished tablet. Despite challenges including a broken housing and sourcing the screen from eBay due to poor AliExpress options, the repair expert assembled dozens of components including speakers, cameras, battery, and motherboard. The project succeeded, with the completed iPad booting to iPadOS 16 and all functions working properly including Wi-Fi, cameras, charging, and touch input.
