Cyber Monday is technically over, but we have a whole week of deals We're seeing significant savings across the whole Apple family of devices, particularly at Amazon and Walmart. If you've been drooling over a new Apple Watch, pair of AirPods, or an upgraded MacBook, but were hesitant because of the price, now is your chance. Apple Cyber Monday deals are still here to help you upgrade your devices. Just because Cyber Monday and Black Friday are technically over doesn't mean all the deals have stopped. The good news here is that the AirPort appears to be fairly DIY friendly (if you have access to Torx drivers, spudgers, and a 54-bit driver kit). The group was pleasantly surprised with how simple it was to get into the device and noted it didn’t have to fool with any proprietary fasteners or parts to almost completely disassemble the tower-like creation. The final verdict from iFixit was a teardown score of 8 out of 10 (10 being the easiest to get into and repair). iFixit cautioned not to touch the little black box here, specifically with wet fingers, due to the potential shocking experience of 400 V jolt. Located further behind the brushless DC fan is a standard 12 V, 5 A power supply. The board contains a Broadcom BCM4360KLMG, which is the same IC that iFixit discovered when it performed its teardown of the 13-inch 2013 Edition MacBook Air. Many screws later, the group finally discovered the mainboard for the newest AirPort.

We’ve got bad news for Apple fans iFixit designated three different sides for the device once the shell was off, pointing out the “port side,” the “slot side,” (which is the empty space), and the “fan side.” The fact that you must remove a number of screws just to clean the fan is a potential issue. Unfortunately, there isn’t any place to connect the HDD itself, and, even after opening the device fully, iFixit didn’t discover any hidden connection ports. The void is about 3.5-inches in size and perfectly accommodates an HDD of that size. Once the casing was free, iFixit revealed an empty space within the center of the tower-like structure. iFixit also warns that the opening procedure requires a little bit of prying, and you could easily damage the casing itself if you’re not careful. This is a relatively simple affair, but it does require a Torx driver. To start, iFixit disassembled the outer casing.
In one of its classic “teardown” sessions, iFixit deconstructs the AirPort Extreme, concluding that it’s very easy to take apart and repair. IFixit got its hands on Apple’s brand new AirPort Extreme A1521 that was unveiled at WWDC on Monday.
