Looks great, much better than last year's. Pity about the glue for the screen. Would love to see screws. Know it's hard, because these are miracles of engineering, but there are lots of very smart men and women working on this, I'm sure they could find a way, especially since these are billed as enterprise devices, and having worked in an IT department, devices get broken a lot. No pen teardown? I'd imagine it's super similar to last year.
I want one of these even more now. Can't wait to see the Surface Book, if they managed to get one.
Thanks everyone at iFixit, keep up the good work. You're an inspiration to us all.
Is the set of huge connectors on the back of the motherboard in step 14 where the battery connects? They look too large for anything else.
Why does HTC like glue so much! It actually seems like it would make manufacturing harder (especially all that tape). At least this got a higher score than my M8. But I would have thought Google would have had a larger influence in some way. Google is the one giving them the ability to build this, after all.
You can just rip it off, it's plastic. They sell replacements on the internet for like $6, they come with adhesive on them. If you're worried about scratches, it's actually a coating that HTC put on the lens, and just scratches easily.

That's a crappy coating HTC put on the lens. There's a thread on Android central forums that talks about how to resolve the issue: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one...
