The iFixit teardown of the PS5 Pro is right here, and whereas there isn’t all that a lot completely different occurring from what we’ve seen with the PS5 and PS5 Slim by way of repairability, Sony has made one notable change: within the Pro, it’s fairly straightforward to get to the CMOS battery. Whereas accessing this battery to interchange it within the two earlier PS5 fashions required a good quantity of labor on account of its placement beneath the primary board, iFixit discovered that it’s proper underneath the faceplates within the PS5 Pro and nestled behind a hatch that has only one screw.
That’s a pleasant enchancment over the opposite PS5s, the place “you’ve got to take apart almost the whole thing to change [the CMOS battery] out,” iFixit notes. Apart from that, issues look fairly acquainted. That’s to not say the PS5 Pro itself doesn’t have pleasure to supply — as our reviewers discovered, the PS5 Pro is an absolute beast of a console in the case of efficiency. Much less thrilling although is its $700 price ticket.
