Introducción
Ir al paso 1El nuevo iPad Pro 11" tiene biseles más angostos, esquinas curvadas y silicio de última generación. Esto es aparentemente el iPad que Apple soñó fabricar desde el principio, pero nosotros soñamos con un dispositivo que sea fácil de reparar. ¿Cumplirá ambos sueños este iPad o será que nuestros sueños seguirán pendientes? Hay solo una forma de saberlo: ¡con un desmontaje!
Entérate sobre las novedades en Twitter, o dirígete a nuestras páginas en Facebook e Instagram para mantenerte al tanto de todas las noticias sobre desmontajes.

-
Veamos que diferencia este Pro iPad de sus pares novatos:
-
Pantalla de retina líquida de óxido TFT completamente laminada de 11 pulgadas, con retroiluminación LED, con una resolución de 2388 × 1668 (264 ppi) de tecnología ProMotion
-
Procesador personalizado de ocho núcleos Apple A12X Bionic con un coprocesador M12 de movimiento y GPU de núcleos integrados
-
Cámara trasera de 12 MP con grabación de vídeo de 4K a 60 fps y una cámara TrueDepth de 7 MP con vídeo 1080p
-
Audio de cuatro altavoces con equilibrio propio
-
Identificación de rostro, cinco micrófonos, sensor de luz ambiente, acelerómetro, barómetro, y giroscopio de 3 ejes.
-
802.11a/b/g/n/ac banda doble MIMO Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.0
-
64 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB de almacenamiento integrado.
-
-
-
Con cada año que pasa, Apple parece acercarse más a cumplir su sueño de vender una tabla de cristal en blanco con su logotipo en la parte posterior.
-
Lo bueno es que tenemos rayos X siempre disponibles de Creative Electron o esto se vería parecido a un rectángulo negro.
-
Como siempre, las áreas más oscuras en la imagen de rayos X representan los materiales densos que absorben más rayos X, usualmente magnetos como aquellos que se utilizan en altavoces y accesorios con fijación de clip.
-
Estamos viendo considerablemente más de estos que lo habitual aquí.
-
-
-
Tiempo de realizar una inspección visual. Por arriba del conector Smart reposicionado, tenemos un número de modelo nuevo: A1980
-
Si lo comparamos con su predecesor de 10.5", este iPad se ve casi igual y es difícil darse cuenta del .2 mm perdido debido a los bordes recuadrados.
-
No es que no nos importe, es que en realidad nos recuerda a algunos de los competidores más reparables del iPad.
-
Algunas notas finales antes de sumergirnos en este desmontaje: no hay toma de auriculares ☹, hay un puerto USB-C (noThunderbolt) en lugar de Lightning, y un óvalo largo y oscuro para cargar el nuevo Lápiz.
-
-
-
Nos encantó la experiencia de cortar todo el pegamento para abrir nuestro primer iPad y nunca nos dejó de molestar.
-
Nos ayuda que tenemos práctica en esto, pero estos biseles extra delgados hacen que la apertura sea más horrorosa de lo habitual. Calentar, trinchar, tener paciencia y esperar que nada se rompa.
-
En el lado positivo, los cables planos de la pantalla están a una distancia segura de los biseles, pero están dispersos de una manera que hace que remover la pantalla sea un procedimiento realmente complicado.
Actually on the left side of the display there are some sables that are quite close to the edge. DIYers beware!
-
-
-
Estos cables no están seguros aun, ya que estamos obligados a colocar la pantalla a un ángulo raro y con suerte esperamos no dañar nada al desconectarlos.
-
Ponemos nuestro destornillador Phillips a trabajar para liberar ambos conectores de cable.
-
Ahora vemos lo que esos rayos X nos estaban intentando mostrar. Una cosa que sobresale inmediatamente es el cuarteto de altavoces del iPad.
Is there a reason for empty space in the body of the iPad? Prevent interference or damage from the wireless charging unit?
The space is reserved for Display cable/PCB. You can refer to the X-Ray photos and the screen assembly
What is the name of the flex cable that was disconnected from the logic board after removing the protective plate at the top of the screen? The flex cable seems to have a microphone and a few sensors. On the repair I am working on the customer has ripped one of the sensors and it needs to be replaced but I cannot find a replacement.
I may have figured it out, but can’t find a replacement part anywhere at this time. I believe the flex contains the Ambient Light Sensor, Flood illuminator, Dot projector.
Does anyone know where they have seen this part for purchasing?
Hi Brandon,
This part is difficult to source, because it is inherently paired to the T2 security chip—you can’t restore functionality with a replacement part unless you have access to Apple’s special software.
This question may have been answered already - maybe I missed it - there is a flex sensor cable at the top of the display - each end of the cable has some kind of sensor that fits into a notched area at the top of the iPad case. It also has other components that fit between the cameras and dot detector. Does this cable have anything to do with Face ID?

-
Aquí está la pantalla de retina líquida, mejorada desde la primera vez que la vimos y tiene la misma maravillosa frecuencia de refresco de 120 Hz que vimos en el último iPad Pro.
-
La nueva pantalla elegante viene también junto a algunos chips:
-
Controlador de temporización Parade Technologies DP825 (el mismo que vimos en el iPad Pro 10.5")
-
Texas Instruments TPS65158 (quizá una variación del CI TPS65168 LCD Bias
-
Intersil 24883A D826AB
Is this the reason why the left side of the ipad is warmer than all the device?
i cant find this specific screen anywhere
-
-
-
Ansiosos por ver por primera vez ese chip A12X, despegamos la tapa de la placa lógica.
-
Puaj, como siempre, la placa está sujeta con adhesivo y se hace más complicado por los altavoces que bloquean casi todo el proceso de palanqueo.
-
Pero estamos impacientes y salimos victoriosos pronto. La placa lógica emerge triunfalmente del cañon entre las celdas de batería.
-
-
-
-
Después de todo, somos recompensados con más silicio:
-
Apple APL1083 A12X Bionic SoC
-
Almacenamiento flash Toshiba TSB3247M61710TWNA1 Toshiba (64 GB total)
-
2x Micron 8MBT9 D9WHG RAM (4 GB total)
-
Controlador NFC NXP 100VB27
-
Módulo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Apple / USI 339S00551
-
Controlador de pantalla táctil 2x Broadcom BCM15900B0KWFBG
-
Controlador de potencia Texas Instruments CD3215C00
Looks like there's is a reserved space for second nand storage chip. I wonder if in future storage updates would be possible?
The space is likely to be filled if you bought the higher capacity iPad Pro option. This is the lowest capacity option, so there is a free pad.
More interesting is that the DRAM looks like it’s mounted on the same substrate as the A12X (ie not directly on the PCB like earlier iPads), so slightly closer to the PoP of iPhones. Is the substrate Si, or something else with lower capacitance than PCB?
It is not PoP package(Package-on-Package) . From the photo of A12X, it should not be PoP package(processor is next to two memory chips). Is that TSMC’s InFo or CoWos package technology?
JJ Wu -
Yes, that substrate is super-interesting. We need benchmarks comparing RAM bandwidth between this and the prior-gen iPads. What’s next for Apple … HBM?
HBM can provide higher BW. But, from power consumption, most likely, it can not be. LPDDR4x can provide lower power consumption menory solution for mobile devices, such as iPad.
JJ Wu -
So for the 6GB of RAM in the 1TB version, it is likely there is 1x4GB and 1x2GB DRAM chips, or might Apple have actually put 8GB of RAM, but only expose 6GB for user apps ?
perhaps the extra 2GB would used by the storage controller so it can manage the extra 512GB of storage ?
Any plans to tear down the 1TB version ?
I wonder what’s the minimum storage option that will start having a second NAND chip (assuming that empty space will indeed be covered with a second NAND chip in other size options).
I believe that TI’s CD3215C00 is a USB-3.1 redriver.
What are the dimensions of this board?
Does anyone know which Tristar chip this model uses?

-
¡Hora de ver la batería! No somos fanáticos de las baterías del iPad del año pasado que omitieron las lengüetas de liberación elástica.
-
Este año, las lengüetas están de vuelta de moda: ¡esta vez tenemos seis tiras en forma de U! Cada tira tiene dos lengüetas, lo que le da a los reparadores una segunda oportunidad en caso de que una de ellas se rompa. ¡Genial!
-
Pero aquí se acaba lo fácil. Un parche gigante de pegamento extra fuerte recorre todo el lado izquierdo. Suspiro. Es hora de sacar las herramientas de apertura.
-
Nos hemos quedado sin palabras. ¿Por Apple haría esto? Solo podemos suponer que él adhesivo está allí para un "refuerzo de rigidez".
-
El iPad tiene una batería de 7812 mAh con 3.77 V para 29.45 Wh: ligeramente menos que la batería de 30.8 WH en el iPad Pro de 10.5", y mucho más pequeña que la batería más reciente de Microsoft Surface Pro con 45 Wh.
“We were left speechless. Why would Apple do this?”
Those speakers pack a load of low bass.
component vibrations are out.
That is definitely a possibility. However, we were confused as to why Apple would choose to use stretch adhesives in conjunction with it, and why it’s only one one side of the battery…the left side. We found a similar band of super-adhesive in the same location on the new 2018 iPad Pro 12.9”.
Very weird. Is it possible that Apple repair techs use an adhesive dissolving solution? Would make the repair “easy” for them while keeping the batteries solidly in place.
En la traduccion al castellano, en el parrafo que dice “Nos hemos quedado sin palabras. ¿Por Apple aria esto?…” daña la vista el “aria” sin h :-) Por favor corregirlo cuando podáis ;-)

-
Próximamente, haciendo su debut en el iPad: Face ID.
-
Más específicamente, este es el mismo hardware que hemos visto desde el iPhone X, proyector de puntos infrarrojos, cámara selfie y cámara infrarroja, pero viene en una forma ligeramente modificada.
-
Ya que estamos allí, sacamos la cámara trasera, que según Apple trae el mismo rendimiento que la cámara de iPads previos pero rediseñada para que sea más delgada.
-
Con la pérdida de OIS y aun una protuberancia de cámara gigante, este diseño parece estar impregnado de compromiso.
The IR dot projector IS the flood illuminator.
No it isn’t. Those are two separate components, just like on iPhone.
The IR flood illuminator sits right between the FaceTime- and IR-camera and is probably part of the front assembly, while the IR dot projector is way off to the right of the FaceTime camera as seen above.

Saquemos esos altavoces, ¿vale?
-
Es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo. Las carcasas están entalladas directamente en la caja de aluminio y claramente no fueron hechas con la intención de ser removidas. Sacarlas lleva una tonelada de calor y fuerza de voluntad.
-
Los altavoces de agudos salen sin darnos pelea pero los altavoces de graves están prácticamente acabados. ¡Esperemos que estén hechos de material nuncafallium!
-
Encontramos más magnetos escondidos dentro de la cámara de altavoz. Si tuviéramos una moneda de cinco centavos de dólar por cada magneto, podríamos derretirlos todos y hacer una moneda gigante de adornito.
Any idea why so many magnets? That looks like 12 in the housing on the right side, but only one voice coil with the one large one in the middle. What are the 3x3 array on the left, and the 2x1 array on the right for?
Accesories. I suppose that’s because such a matrix allows a nearly perfect allignement with pencil/keyboard, thinking to a “flatter” magnetic field instead of a round big one
-
-
-
Lo próximo en salir es la placa de carga de Lápiz con sus bobinas de carga de bronce.
-
Si bien está técnicamente fuera, no se va sin dejar víctimas...
-
Capacitadores pequeñísimos y otros trozos de placa salen volando en protesta cuando removemos los escudos. ¿Lo lamentamos? Por supuesto que no.
-
¿Qué es esto que estamos viendo escondido en la esquina? Es un STMicroelectronics STM32L476JGY6 ARM Cortex MCU.
Those flying board bits are the Chinese spy chips trying to evade identification. Conspiracy theorists discuss…
Do you think it would be possible to "extend” the charging coil from outside so that pencil could be charged without removing from a case? I’m very unfamiliar with how coil charging works so this may be a totally stupid question. In the simplest terms I’m thinking of just a piece that fits on the outside of the ipad case where the pencil would go, and extends it about 5mm into the hole on most of the cases that are currently available.
Technically, that is possible, and one could even build it into a case. You could place something made of iron in a specific shape that would couple and extend the magnetic field out. Efficiency would drop based on how well it’s implemented though. But, this wouldn’t be necessary if the case material is thin.
Most likely! Please check this link for more details.
Can this piece be used sand alone without the rest of the iPad? I want to sit my pencil on a desk charging and not always drawing power from my already fragile battery ? life on my iPad. I was thinking maybe just ‘Aquire this part’ & make an external case for it.
my iPad Pro 2018 has a damaged pencil charging magnetic coil. So my iPad is not recognising any pencil. Apple is also not offering any service. What can I do about it?
We're you ever able to get it fixed?
where can we purchased this item. i have water damage board for this. pencil no work and not detected
Did you ever find a replacement part?
What is magnetic sensor for smart cover?
-
-
-
Lo último en salir es el puerto USB-C que, a diferencia de iPads previos, es completamente modular.
-
Esto es un componente de alto desgaste, por lo que la habilidad de reemplazarlo independientemente de la placa madre es una victoria de reparación.
-
Puede que no sea una victoria para aquellos que han apostado por el Lightning, pero nuestro mensaje para ellos es que al menos el USB-C ofrece rendimiento más rápido en un factor de forma estandarizado no patentado.
-
Las únicas cosas que quedan en el chasis son una tonelada completa de imanes de níquel.
“At least USB-C offers faster throughput in a standardized, non-proprietary form factor.”
At least Lightening could configure itself to carry analogue audio at an adequate power level for headphones.
The Lightning spec has never allowed analog passthrough, to the best of my knowledge—it’s all digital. If it could carry an analog signal, you wouldn’t need a DAC embedded in the headphone dongle. USB-C headphones in general are definitely kind of a mess right now though.
“At least Lightening could configure itself to carry analogue audio at an adequate power level for headphones.”
Do you mean that this cannot? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MU7E2...
Lightning plugs have all of their contacts exposed, and users inevitably touch them, depositing skin salts and oils that together with the electrical current over time causes corrosion of the plugs and the device’s internal contacts. USB-C ought to be much more reliable in the long term because users can’t casually touch any of the contacts. Lightning cables also have an extremely high failure rate at the point where the cable attaches to the connector, with broken conductors and/or insulators.
And USB-C allows for hard drives, Ethernet, monitors, DSLRs, CD/BluRay drives - if anyone uses them - CD seems basically dead - is BluRay on its way out too?
Just about. It’ll be replaced by SD’s or small SSD’s, which will likely be followed by holochrons.
I’m glad they decided to make the type c port modular, as an iPhone user who’s used to Lightning port robustness I’m never comfortable plugging in type C devices.
Type C’s snap feels quite similar to USB micro-B, which in my experience they don’t last long ( at year 2 they started getting loose, and at year 5 most of them has lost most the resistance if not all. In contrast I have never found an iPhone with loose lightning port.
Hi, I’m a newbie to self-repairs but basically my charging port or the “chip” that the local repairmen said may be damaged, can someone tell me what is that second part above the USB-C charging port? Oof, much gratitude and thanks.
where is the micrphone

Ronda de premio: también tenemos un nuevo Lápiz de Apple.
-
Podemos decir ya que, según el número de puntos de entrada visibles (léase: cero), esto no va a ser nada bonito. (Nuevamente)
-
Comencemos con unos rayos X antes de que las cosas se pongan desagradables.

Bueno así que técnicamente hay un punto de entrada pero todos sabemos que nada puede entrar en esa punta.
-
Con la punta removida, vamos directamente hacia lo importante. ¡Traigan la cuchilla ultrasónica!

Después de que se asiente el polvo, una varilla de metal emerge del caparazón de plástico blanco de Apple.

Al observar alrededor, divisamos el puerto nuevo de carga inalámbrica, algunos imanes, una funda negra y un ingeniero de desmontaje herido.☹
We tried pairing the old Pencil to the new iPad by using a Lightning to USB-C connector, but the iPad refuses to acknowledge the old Pencil.
We honor the engineer’s sacrifice
how did he get cut? I thought iFixit was safe!
“She” actually =) I was wearing safety goggles, but unfortunately my hands weren’t wearing armor.
Is there a technical reason why the new pencil couldn’t be backward compatible to the first-gen iPad Pro? Or to allow for wireless charging on the old iPads, could Apple have made a thin smart-connector accessory that would get power from the smart connector and then have the necessary Qi-like charging coil to transmit to the ApplePen2. That would be a problem for the first gen non-Pro iPad, which doesn’t have a smart connector - but it could also have a lightning plug in the center.)
It seems that “buy the pencil now, upgrade to a new iPad pro later when you have the 2K to do so” marketing strategy might work. Though if you’re going to drop 2K on a new iPad, 0.12K for a new pencil really isn’t that much I guess.

What is the gold piece at the end of the pen? My dog chewed mine off. Its still working ;)
If it's the same as in the 1st gen teardown, then:
the antenna, decked in the familiar Apple black and gold
I’m surprised the Apple IC (blue) doesn’t have “P2” on it (P for “pencil”).. How does the “tap” work - is it a tap of the pen tip on a surface, or a finger tap/squeeze on the barrel of the pencil itself? The capacitance grid looks like it’s separated into “square-like-areas” (9x6 it looks like). Could this be to allow for multi-touch on different places? Something like different brushes in a graphics app depending on where you held the pen? (Say holding it with index and thumb - close to the tip end for a writing tool, middle for something like a paintbrush , or the “erase” end for something like a “spray-paint” or dodge/burn brush).
Or (either as an Apple joke, or a third-party joke) use said hypothetical multi-touch capacity to turn the Apple Pencil into a kazoo/flute? (Or a Ressikan flute penny whistle for the Star Trek fans?). But that would need a separate tip or some device to pick up the signals and transmit them over a longer distance - or does the Apple Pencil use “normal range” Bluetooth?
Been wondering at the battery capacity of this thing. It seems to discharge much faster than the previous generation, but also charges much faster. I had a hopeful guess that maybe it was a capacitor and not lithium, increasing longevity and justifying the odd capacity quirks.
DNB Markets, DNB Bank ASA deeper and more brutal teardwon actually. There is a nRF52832 Bluetooth Low Energy chip from Nordic Semiconductor in there. Here is a ref from IHS. https://twitter.com/LeeRatliff/status/10...

Ya no queda más iPad. Hemos desarmado todos sus componentes.
-
Es difícil decir si este Apple es bueno o malo. No hay un puerto USB-C modular y adhesivo de liberación elástica en la batería, pero todavía está pegado y una tira de adhesivo convencional resistente también sujeta la batería.
-
Parece que Apple está intentando cambiar, pero la vocecita en su otro oído fue un poco más fuerte que la del ángel de reparabilidad esta vez. Dicho esto, todos los productos de Apple de finales de 2018 muestran algo de mejora. Tenemos la esperanza que el ángel de reparabilidad siga ganando más influencia.
Can you highlight the magnet locations? Maybe tear down the keyboard or folio case? Interested to know where the focus of the magnetic contact are. Might help with future case designs.
For magnets, you can’t do much better than the X-ray image in Step 2.
-
- El puerto USB-C es modular y puede reemplazarse independientemente.
- La falta de botón de inicio físico elimina un punto de falla común y podría simplificar las reparaciones.
- La batería está sujeta con lengüetas de adhesivo de liberación elástico, más fácil de remover, y con adhesivo convencional que no se puede remover.
- El LCD y el cristal de panel frontal están fusionados, lo que simplifica el procedimiento de apertura pero aumenta el costo de reparación.
- Un montón de adhesivo sujeta todo en su lugar, lo que hace que las reparaciones sean más difíciles.

Just a question on how these 2-cell batteries work…
If I’m on 50% battery charge, will both “sides” be half-full or will one be completely depleted?
The 2 cells are connected in parallel so they both drain at the same rate.
With the 1TB model having 6GB, is that achieved with a higher capacity part or is there space for a third RAM chip?
As I noticed the ram is installed on chip, it is unlikely there will be enough space for a third one
So either the 1TB version uses two 3GB RAM chips (not sure this size exists), or the A12X on the 1TB version offers up the additional 2GB internally, or the flash controller contains 2GB RAM that somehow gets mapped into the OS (doubt this). I have the 1TB version and am just curious how this is implemented.
tskwara -
There were 3GB LPDDR4 RAM chip offered by Samsung and were used in the iPhone 8 Plus. Not sure if it will be the case of the iPad Pro, but 3GB RAM did exist.
24 Gb (3 GB) LPDDR4X packages are definitely a thing, so most likely just two of those.
It said that there is 4GB in total
Concerning this picture from step 5: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig...
Is there really so much unused/empty space on the left side of the enclosure or am I missing something here?
And could you provide the battery ratings for Apple Pencil 2?
If you look at the XRay photo and the screen assembly, you will find that these space are reserved for display cables.
Indeed, the display panel’s logic board occupies this space. In the last iPad Pro teardown, however, no extra space was needed.
Simon -
Well, in the iPad Pro 10.5 inch model this empty space is located on the bottom side of the enclosure.
Simon -
My guess is that it’s a loudspeaker enclosure, among other things it helps make the sound more punchy and less tinny from the 4 woofers
How did they get all those parts into the pencil?
Magic, Elves and Fairies at the FoxConn factory. All of the above have small hands! ;-)
Custom engineered enveloping and machining.
An apple shop representative in Miami, told me that, the 1tb model iPad Pro is on par with this you opened up and all the others, about the ram, so it is just 4gb.
she said the 6gb ram on the 1tb iPad Pro is only a rumor.
Has anyone evidence of this 6gb ram? If I can be sure about it I would buy that size of memory..
This firstly comes from Xcode which implies that there is a new iDevice with 6GB RAM, and it is very likely to be the new iPad Pro, as none of those iPhones get 6GB RAM.
GeekBench indicates that there are 4 models of iPad Pros has 6GB Memory: iPad8,2,iPad8,4,iPad8,6 and iPad8,8.
All of those models have “x“ in the Mother Board model name, and those names somehow connect from each other, for example: “J317xAP“ for iPad8,2; “J318xAP“ for iPad8,4; etc, and iPad8,8 got “J321xAP”.
In contrast, the ones with 4GB RAM do not have “x” in their Motherboard name. For example, iPad8,7 got “J321AP“, indicates that model is similar to iPad8,8, but the latter is an “enhanced x“ version.
The iPad pro 1TB model has 6GB of ram, but this is to help with the extra storage, no performance gains sadly.
Space -
What type of aluminium is the iPad Pro made from?
What about the extra Holes in this new iPad? There is one on the display front, right next to the FaceID Camera. And there is one on the left side in the middle. First i thought it is the SIM tray removal hole… but: i am using the WiFi model…
Microphones. The iPad has multiple mics to help with noice cancellation and for Hey Siri functionality.
djfriar -
The ability of the Face ID to work in both orientations is hw- or sw-based? Thanks.
please uninstall all Magnets! Over 100.. new wight ? Nothing is netter than a lightweight Tablet
If you compare the 11-inch to the 10.5 inch last year, the wifi model is actually lighter.
This also applies to the 12.9 vs 12.9
So those magnets did not make the tablet heavier. If you are comparing the 12.9 inch this year with 10.5 inch last year, of cause it is heavier
Can anyone give a definitive answer as to if the 1tb version has 6gb ram please.
I'm a total non tech so forgive my lack of tech
But I've read many reviews and learnt a little
Even one of the messages above refers to Xcode 'implies'
Still nothing definitive
Others say the geekbench tests don't prove 6gb but suggest
Got thru to Apple managers of both CPU and IOS department
- unbelievably they don't have a clue!
…and even they agreed Apple should publicise their specs
We all get why they don't but still…
Still no certainty after over 3 weeks of rumours.
Plus much debate over whether it'll make any difference for any but the uber power users
So probably only solution is a tear down of a 1tb
Have I missed this?
Even a hi tech apple store guy I know well said ifixit had a tear down to prove the 6gb
..but all I can't find this.
Seems like the only definitive answer is a tear down
Is this going to happen guys?
Thanks
Why do they have so many magnets in the speakers, I always thought a speaker needed one magnet to drive it’s respec driver?
what is the frame part made of, looks not strong enough to support the whole structure and will cause bending over time.
BE WARNED! the replacement screen does NOT come with the ambient light sensor attached. You will need to use your old one and unless you attach it perfectly (the sensors are held in place by hot glue), face ID will no longer work. If I were to do the repair again, I would spend the extra $100 and have Apple replace it.
Que son los flex que están incluidos en la pantalla? Dos inferiores y uno superior. Tengo un ipad a1980 con todos los flex cortados al separar la pantalla y no encuentro información para identificarlos.
The screen on my iPad is toast (tends to happen when you leave it on the roof of your car and drive down the interstate). I’m looking at purchasing a new screen from here, but have one question on it. The screen as shown in the teardown has connectors both top and bottom of the display, but the screen available for purchase only shows the bottom set of connectors. Is there a different assembly at the top of the display for something else, perhaps mic or ambient light sensor that I need to acquire?
Hi David,
You are right—those look like the ambient light sensors and mics. Try to detach them from your original display to transfer to your replacement screen. You may need to use some heat. Pry carefully with a non-metal tool.
If you replace the display with the one on Ifixit, does 120hz ProMotion go away when you replace the screen?
Gracias, un saludo desde Colombia, Que hay que hacer para montar una franquicia en mi país ?

Hi,
nachdem mein Dipsplay defekt war und bei der demontage auch noch da flexkabel der FaceID gerissen war, musste ich mir ein neues einetzen.
Dennoch meldet das ipad nach dem Ersetzen der zwei Teile das die FaceID nicht funktioniert und der Stromverbauch ist enorm auffällig nach Oben gegangen. Kann es sein, das diese Flex mit Sensoren und cam, nicht ersetzt werden können (sollen)? Daher der hohe Stromverbauch
Gruß Matthias
I've replaced the screen on one of these and tried 3 other Digi/lcds and only the bottom portion where the swipe to unlock bar is will receive touch input, the bottom 1 cm of the screen if that. Is this an issue anyone's run into? If so did you find a solution and what might I try?
Purchased the usb dock from ifixit, they didn’t include any screws. How cheap they are.
Could a 1/16” hole be safely drilled in the back 1/4” of the pencil? I can’t tell if the metal behind the battery contains any electronics or if it’s just ballast. I need to find a way to tether the pencil without interfering with it’s ability to charge and cling flush to the side of the ipad.
