Final Thoughts
  • The 6th-Generation iPad earns a 2 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • The LCD is easy to remove once you separate the cover glass/digitizer.

  • Air-gapped, separately replaceable cover glass and LCD makes many drop damage repairs far less expensive.

  • As in all iPads, a solid barrier of very strong adhesive bars the way to any repairs, and makes rework a sticky proposition.

  • More adhesive holds nearly everything else in place. Battery replacement is particularly challenging.

  • The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to the front panel, increasing risk of damage during disassembly.
