4 Why are the iPad Pro 12.9” 2nd Gen screens so expensive?
I am trying to source a replacement screen for an iPad Pro 12.9” 2nd gen (1670). The prices are beyond outrageous often costing as much or more than buying another device refurbished or used. The lowest I’ve seen is around $350 or so. A came across a couple of ads from small repair shops claiming to do glass only repairs, but even they charge over $300.
In comparison, the same size 1st Gen screens are practically given away, selling for around $150 to $200. What makes the 2nd gen prices go from outrageous to absurd, is the cost of the 3rd Gen screens. These are the latest models and you can find them for around $300 and sometimes less!
What’s going on here? I’m hoping the prices come down to earth, but I’m not holding my breath, given the equally absurd prices for older Retina MacBook Pro displays.

I will tell you the legitimate reason why it’s $400 has to do with a factory defect that the 12.9” 2nd Gen iPad pros had where the displays would become unresponsive to any touch for no reason just a few seconds usually but anyway at the time they were offering to replace the iPad I had with a “replacement of equal value” as their replacement policy says so it’s a refurbished iPad that someone else already broke that they send to you for your own that you took car of and has been yours since it was brand new, but anyway it has something to do with the displays becoming unresponsive at random times it wasn’t software relate it was a factory defect of some sort I can’t remember exactly I’m sorry
