iPad 4 Retina Repair

About this repair

The iPad 4 carries a 2048×1536 Retina display, yet like earlier models its digitizer glass stays separate from the LCD, so a shattered touchscreen is a glass-only job when the image is clean. It was the first iPad to drop the 30-pin port for Lightning, and that soldered dock connector plus an aging glued battery are its frequent failure points. We heat-release the bonded front glass, transfer the FaceTime camera bracket, and verify A6X-driven touch response from edge to edge.

My iPad 4 touchscreen is cracked but the picture is fine — what's needed?

The iPad 4 digitizer glass is separate from its Retina LCD, so when the image is intact we replace only the outer glass and re-bond it to the frame.

Does the iPad 4 use Lightning or the old 30-pin connector?

The iPad 4 was the first iPad to ship with the Lightning port; if yours won't charge we can replace the worn Lightning dock flex instead of the whole logic board.

Will a new battery revive my iPad 4?

The iPad 4's glued battery is over a decade old and a fresh cell often restores standby time, though its A6X chip caps software updates, so we'll set expectations before the job.
