iPad Pro 12.9-inch 6th Gen repairability

A screen replacement needs the original top sensor assembly for Face ID and True Tone. Some battery and port steps reuse earlier-model reference images.

What to check before buying

Replacement parts
Battery, screen and USB-C port each have replacement guides.
Repair documentation
The screen guide identifies the display and top sensor assembly as distinct pieces.
Sensor transfer
The original top assembly is required for Face ID and True Tone.

Display assembly

The screen guide identifies the display and top sensor assembly as distinct pieces. The sensor must transfer to the new display to retain Face ID and True Tone, adding work beyond bonding in a panel.

Guide variants

iFixit's battery and USB-C procedures for this generation reuse a previous Pro model as a reference. The guides flag extra or different steps for Wi-Fi-only hardware, so check the tablet's variant before assuming identical labour.
