iPad Pro (11-inch) (1st Generation) repair questions
Why is glass repair not available for iPad Pro (11-inch) (1st Generation)?
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.

The third generation of iPad Pro is a line of tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. Two models, with a 12.9-inch or 11-inch screen, were both announced on October 30, 2018, and were available to purchase on November 7. This generation of iPad Pro was the first iPad compatible with the new (second generation) Apple Pencil stylus. Like the second generation, a larger size and stylus compatibility were a point of difference from the rest of Apple's available iPads, but the third generation iPad Pro was also the first iPad to use facial recognition (Face ID) to unlock the device.
Upgrades from the second generation iPad Pro include the more powerful A12X Bionic processor, storage capacity up to 1 terabyte and the larger display of the 11-inch model (upgraded from a 10.5-inch model). The third generation iPad Pro also premiered a new design, with a screen that covers more of the front face, and has rounded corners.
