iPad Pro 10.5 Repair

About this repair

The iPad Pro 10.5 was Apple's first tablet with a 120Hz ProMotion Liquid Retina display, and that panel is fully laminated, so a cracked front needs a complete display assembly to keep the smooth 120Hz scrolling and True Tone color. It unlocks with a Touch ID home button that is cryptographically paired to this iPad, so we transfer your original button flex onto the new screen rather than fitting a generic one, otherwise fingerprint unlock is lost. The glued-in battery on this 2017 A10X model is a common swelling point that can bow the laminated screen, so we lift the old cell with controlled heat and reseal the panel flat.

Will my iPad Pro 10.5 keep Touch ID after a screen replacement?

Yes, as long as your original home button survives. Touch ID is paired to this specific iPad, so we transfer your existing button flex onto the new display; a brand-new button unlocks the screen but loses fingerprint sign-in.

Will the new screen still scroll at 120Hz like the original?

Yes. The 10.5 was the first iPad with ProMotion's 120Hz adaptive refresh, and we fit a full laminated display assembly so the smooth scrolling, Apple Pencil latency and True Tone behave as Apple intended.

The back of my iPad Pro 10.5 is bulging, is that dangerous?

It's a swelling battery, common on this 2017 model because the glued-in cell ages and expands; it can push the laminated screen up and should be replaced promptly, which we do with controlled heat before reseating the display flat.
