iPad Pro 11 & 12.9 Screen Replacement Guide
Need this part? We stock tested replacement parts with same-day UK dispatch and a 12-month warranty.
An iPad Pro screen order must be based on the model number and generation, not on “11-inch” or “12.9-inch” alone. Across the range, Apple has used different display assemblies and technologies, and visually similar tablets do not share one universal part or repair procedure.

Before ordering
- Record the A-number and identify the exact iPad Pro generation.
- Diagnose glass, touch, image and frame damage separately.
- Confirm screen-only versus framed assembly and every included component.
- Use the repair manual or procedure for that exact model.
- Compare commercial options only after the device identity is confirmed.
Identify the exact iPad Pro
Find the model number in Settings or on the rear enclosure, then use Apple’s iPad identification guide. The name “iPad Pro 11-inch” spans multiple generations. The 12.9-inch family also changed across generations, and newer Pro models moved to 11-inch and 13-inch naming.
| Decision | Required evidence |
|---|---|
| Device identity | A-number, generation, screen size and connectivity variant |
| Display assembly | Explicit supported model numbers |
| Part format | Screen only, with frame, or service assembly |
| Transferred parts | Written list from the exact procedure and product listing |
| Adhesive | Model-specific kit and installation instructions |
Diagnose the screen and frame
Cracked glass with a stable image and touch is a different job from coloured lines, black areas, failed touch or uneven illumination. A blank display can also involve a connector, board or liquid-damage fault. A raised panel without a clear impact point requires a battery-swelling inspection before heat or pressure is applied.
The iPad screen guide by model is the upper-level family map. This page handles the iPad Pro branch and should not repeat every other iPad family.
Choose the part after model confirmation
Inspect the original frame for bends and impact damage, then compare the replacement’s model list and included parts. A cheaper screen can become the more expensive repair if it needs additional transfers, adhesive or repeat labour. Avoid listings that use size alone as the compatibility statement.
Once the A-number and required assembly are known, compare current iPad Pro repair parts by model. This is a collection-level entry because readers still need to select their generation and part type; verify the listing again before purchase and do not infer stock from this article.
Use an exact-model procedure
- Back up accessible data, power down and document pre-existing faults.
- Protect broken glass and prepare a clean surface large enough to support the panel.
- Follow the exact procedure for heat placement, pick depth, cable side and screw locations.
- Inspect the frame and compare the replacement before removing final liners.
- Complete the documented configuration and functional tests before handover.
A family-level article cannot safely prescribe a fixed heating time or universal cable route. Stop if the physical layout differs from the reference.
Post-repair acceptance
- Full touch grid and multi-touch gestures
- Uniform colours and brightness at several levels
- Front camera, microphones, speakers and charging
- Face ID or Touch ID where applicable
- Perimeter seating, frame gaps and adhesive cure
- Parts and Service History or Repair Assistant status on supported models
Apple explains that supported iPads can show parts and service history and may require calibration to finish a repair. Review Apple’s current parts and service history guidance for applicable models.
Frequently asked questions
Can all 11-inch iPad Pro models use the same screen?
No. Match the part to the exact A-number and generation.
Should I buy a screen before opening the iPad?
Only after identifying the model and checking the frame and fault pattern. Keep protective liners intact until compatibility is confirmed.
