Screen Repair (Glass Only)

The iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen debuted the edge-to-edge design that removed the Home button, making the display more immersive — and more exposed to damage. If the glass is cracked but the Liquid Retina LCD underneath is undamaged, our $500 glass-only repair restores the pristine surface without replacing the entire assembly. The higher repair cost on this model reflects the complexity of working with the first-generation Face ID housing integrated into the display.

Same-day repair 1-year warranty

Screen Repair (Glass + LCD)

A full screen and LCD replacement on the iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen at $650 addresses both shattered glass and display panel damage — including dead pixels, color bleeding, and unresponsive touch zones. The Face ID sensor array sits directly above the display, requiring meticulous disassembly and reassembly to maintain full biometric functionality. Our skilled technicians handle this intricate repair daily, ensuring your 2018 iPad Pro comes back fully functional.

Battery Replacement

At $500, the battery replacement for the iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen reflects the labor-intensive process of safely accessing the battery in this early Face ID design. After years of service, a degraded battery can cause unexpected shutdowns, slow performance, and poor charge retention. MackTechs installs a premium replacement cell and verifies full system performance before returning your device, backed by a 90-day limited warranty.

Charging Port Repair

The iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen was Apple's first iPad with USB-C, and after years of use, port wear is a common issue. Symptoms include unreliable charging, the cable not seating firmly, or inability to connect to external displays and drives. We offer a free inspection and can replace the port to restore full USB-C functionality.

Software / Diagnostics

As the iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen ages, software issues can become more frequent — slow performance after major iPadOS updates, Face ID calibration failures, and storage-related freezes. Our technicians optimize system settings, perform clean installs when needed, and ensure your device runs the latest compatible software smoothly. Visit MackTechs for a free diagnosis and same-day software service.
