Final Thoughts
-
The iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen earns a 3 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
The USB-C port is modular and can be independently replaced.
-
The lack of a physical home button eliminates a common failure point and may simplify repairs.
-
The battery is secured with both easier-to-remove stretch-release tabs and conventional, non-removable adhesive.
-
The LCD and front panel glass are fused together—simplifying the opening procedure, but increasing the cost of repair.
-
Gobs of adhesive hold most everything in place, making all repairs more difficult.
