Screen and touch glass

The iFixit procedure covers a damaged screen and touch glass for iPad 9 Wi-Fi and cellular models. The repair concerns the bonded front of the tablet; the guide cautions that it requires care and appropriate tools.

Variant match

Apple sold this generation in Wi-Fi and cellular versions, identified by A2602, A2603, A2604 and A2605. Match that hardware identifier when comparing replacement front panels rather than relying only on the retail name.
