Display and authentication

The iFixit screen guide says the attached sensor assembly is paired with Face ID and must transfer to a new screen to preserve authentication. A used tablet with prior screen work should have Face ID tested.

Battery and charging

Separate guides cover the battery and USB-C port. The battery guide discusses Wi-Fi and cellular layouts, while the port guide says the screen need not be completely removed for that procedure.
