Considering the 6th Generation iPad Mini was released in 2021, there are bound to be significant upgrades. Apple is a company that prides itself on releasing some of its products on an annual basis, 3 years between products is a long time for Apple.

How much does it cost to repair the screen on an iPad Mini 6th Generation?
When it comes to the screen of an iPad Mini 6h Generation, like every other tablet or smart device, the screens are one unit. So if one area is damaged, repairs can’t be localised to one area, it can only be replaced. When it comes to screen replacement of an iPad Mini 6th Generation, imFixed charges £350. If you are not going through an Apple warranty, or AppleCare+, this is a more than reasonable price to repair the latest iPad Mini. If you want to get an estimate from Apple directly, you can check here.
Please note that the initial pricing from them is only an estimate. This means that the price can increase greatly if they find further damages that require repair.
What is the replacement process of an iPad Mini 5th Generation?
Here is a basic outline of the process we undertake to replace your iPad Mini 5th Generation screen.- We assess the severity of the damage on the screen, and check to see if there are cracks on the body of the iPad Mini 5th Generation.
- We loosen and separate the screen from the back casing of the iPad Mini 5th Generation.
- The next step is that we remove the screen, making sure to safely disconnect any connective wiring between the screen and the circuit board.
- We assess the internal workings to see if there are any other issues that can contribute to your screen being faulty
- After this, we carefully attach the replacement screen and all the relevant connections on the circuit board.
- We test the screen to see if it works before fully reattaching.
- Once we know the screen is working, we securely reattach the iPad screen to its backing.
What is AppleCare+?
Apple has an additional support plan for Apple devices. This plan is called AppleCare+ For a monthly fee, you are granted access to further support services and a subsidisation of any repair costs. For somebody whose Apple device is paramount in conducting work, this may seem like a worth investment.
As you also get 24-hour priority calling. Of course, we understand that not everyone has the capacity to afford an extra monthly bill, which is totally understandable. That being said, if you opt to repair your Apple device outside its warranty period through Apple, you will be paying a high price, subject to the product and damage at hand. This is why seeing a device repair service like imFixed is the best alternative.
We have years of experience, all the necessary equipment and knowhow, in addition to affordable prices, which makes all the difference. Please note, that some manufacturers will void a warranty if the device is repaired independently. Please check your warranty stipulations if you are still under it when needing a repair.
Can I still use my iPad with a damaged screen?
This depends completely on the damage at hand. If the damage has not affected the screen functionality, which includes the visual quality, and touchscreen function, then yes, you can still use it. We do not recommend continuing to use the device unless the screen is replaced, as the cracks in the screen already compromise the integrity of the rest of the screen. This means it becomes even easier for the device to sustain damages that can stop it from working. Scratches on a screen are not a problem in terms of still using the device after.
Though, you should be extremely weary of cracks, regardless of their size. Small cracks can get bigger, and big cracks can severely damage the components beneath the screen. Our best advice is to purchase screen protectors and cases in order to have your device as protected as possible.
