My wife has an early model iPad. You turn it on and off with this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nessachan/2277235080/

nospam
no you don't.

Eric Stevens
You can tell it's an iPad from the way the parts are glued in.

nospam
not everything is glued and what does that have to do with anything anyway?

Eric Stevens
Power supplies are glued into iPads: didn't you know?

nospam
no they aren't. where did you get that insane idea? plus, what's in that picture is not an ipad power supply anyway nor is there any evidence of it being glued to an ipad.

an ipad power supply is *external* and connects via the lightning port (or dock connector on older ipads).

Sandman
Ah, but that means - to Eric - that it is indeed internal. If anything related to charging the battery can be found inside the iPad in an iFixit image, then the entire power supply chain is internal inside the iPad. :-D
