Teardown shows the new Apple TV 4K is easy to repair, but Siri Remote is a pain

Given that the revamped Apple TV 4K looks identical to the last model, we figured that it would be similarly easy to repair. The site was able to tear right through the set-top box's case, thanks to a bit of prying and standard screws. In a unique twist, Apple also used metal contact pins to connect the ATV's large fan to its logic board. That makes it easy to remove without worrying about breaking any cables. Beyond that, the Apple TV 4K is basically a sandwich of easy to remove components.
