iPad Air 5 (2022) repair questions
Why is glass repair not available for iPad Air 5 (2022)?
On this iPad, the display is fully laminated. That means the front glass, touch-sensitive digitiser and LCD or OLED panel are fused together into one sealed display assembly, so a separate glass-only repair is not a reliable repair route. We replace the complete screen assembly instead.
Will Touch ID still work after an iPad repair?
Touch ID depends on the original paired home button. We take care to retain it where possible, but a physically damaged home button may limit what can be restored.
Do I need to erase my iPad before repair?
No. Standard hardware repairs do not normally require your data to be erased, though we always recommend keeping a backup before any repair.
Can I post my iPad from anywhere in the UK?
Yes. Book online, pack the iPad securely and send it to SimplyFixIt. We repair and test it, then return it using insured delivery.
What happens if the frame is bent?
A bent frame can stop a new screen or digitiser sitting correctly. We will assess this before repair and contact you if it changes the repair route.

Hardware
The fifth-generation iPad Air uses the M1 SoC; the same chip used in the iPad Pro (5th generation). The chip has an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine which can process more than 11 trillion operations per second. Apple claims the CPU is up to 60 percent faster and the GPU has 2x faster graphics compared to its predecessor. It has 64 GB or 256 GB of internal storage, and 8 GB of RAM.
It has a 10.9-inch 2360 by 1640 Liquid Retina Display display with 3.8 million pixels. The display is laminated and has an anti-reflective coating, as well as wide color, True Tone and 500 nits of brightness.
The fifth-generation iPad Air features a 12 MegaPixel rear camera and an ultra-wide 12 MegaPixel front camera with Center Stage, which automatically tracks users to keep them in frame. Both cameras have Smart HDR 3.
It has Touch ID integrated into the Sleep/Wake button on the top right edge of the device, and stereo speakers with dual-channel sound in landscape mode.
Connectivity
The fifth-generation iPad Air includes a USB-C port that is used for charging as well as connecting external devices and accessories. The port is capable of transferring up to 10 Gbit/s (ten billion bits per second, 1.25 GB/s or 1.25 billion bytes per second), allowing for fast connections to cameras and external storage, as well as support for monitors with up to 4K resolution. For wireless connection, the device comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support. Cellular models support sub-6 GHz 5G with peak speeds of up to 3.5 Gbit/s in ideal conditions.
