| - | [* black] iPad Pro 11" Repairability Score: ***3 out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair) |
|---|---|

| - | [* yellow] The battery easier to remove thanks to stretch-release tabs, but it also features non-removable adhesive. |
| - | [* yellow] The LCD and front panel glass are fused together. This slightly simplifies the opening procedure. |
| - | [* red] The fused front panel increases the cost of screen repair, and the risk of damaging the LCD when opening. |
| - | [* red] Gobs of adhesive hold everything in place making all repairs more difficult. |
