Generally the first out of the teardown gate, iFixit has done it again. They have torn down and given us an inside look at the 5th generation iPod Touch. They have given the device a reaparibility factor of 3 out of 10. See below for specifics on the score.
iPod Touch 5th Generation Repairability: 3 out of 10(10 is easiest to repair)
While very difficult, opening the case and replacing components is not impossible.
The battery is flanked by notches that make prying it out of the rear case fairly easy.
Many components are soldered together, requiring either a very difficult or very expensive repair if any one part breaks.
The Touch has no external screws. Instead, a combo of clips and adhesive makes it difficult to open the case.
Cables connected to the logic board run over the top and connect on the bottom, making it difficult to remove the board or disconnect the cables.
