iPad Screen Replacement Cost Auckland: Every Model
iPad Screen Replacement Cost Auckland: Every Model
A cracked iPad screen is one of the most common repairs we see, and the cost varies more than people expect — largely because Apple has shipped several very different iPad display technologies over the years.
Pricing by iPad Range
- iPad Mini: typically $90–$250 depending on generation
- iPad (standard, 7th–10th gen): typically $150–$200
- iPad Air: typically $200–$320
- iPad Pro 11-inch (Liquid Retina / ProMotion): typically $250–$350
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED): typically $320–$450
- iPad Pro M4 (Tandem OLED, 2024 onward): typically the most expensive to replace, given the two-layer OLED panel
Glass-Only vs Full Screen Assembly
On most iPads, the front glass and LCD are fused together as one part, meaning a cracked glass usually requires replacing the full assembly, not just the top layer. This is different from most iPhones, and it's the main reason iPad screen repairs often cost more than people expect from phone repair pricing.
What Else Affects the Price
- Touch ID or Face ID recalibration, where applicable
- Apple Pencil compatibility checks on newer Pro models
- Whether the LCD itself is damaged, not just the glass
- Genuine Apple parts vs quality aftermarket panels
