Although an iPad can still function with a cracked screen, its not much funor entirely safeto use. Whether its been dropped and has just a small crack or is covered in a spiderweb of glass shards, replacing an iPad screen is a worthwhile investment. The main cost factors for screen repair are the size and model of the device and whether both layers of the screenthe glass (called the digitizer in some models) and the LCD layerare broken. The larger the model, like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the more expensive it is to repair.
Apple charges set fees for replacing a broken iPad screen, which range from $199-$200 for for iPad Minis to $379-$599 for iPad Pros. Third-party vendors, such as Learn in Atlanta, Georgia, Mobile in Columbia, South Carolina, or Phone Mechanix in Winston Salem, North Carolina, may charge less and often have a faster turnaround time.
