  • iPad Pro Repairability Score: 3 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • The battery is not soldered to the logic board, and can now be removed with adhesive tabs, greatly simplifying battery removal.

  • The Smart Connector port is virtually impossible to replace—but incorporates no moving parts and is unlikely to fail.

  • The LCD and front panel glass are fused together. This slightly simplifies the opening procedure.

  • The fused front panel increases the cost of screen repair, and the risk of damaging the LCD when opening.

  • Gobs of adhesive hold everything in place making all repairs more difficult.
