Overview
What this part is
On the iPad mini 1 and mini 2 the front glass and the LCD are separate parts. If only the glass is cracked and the picture underneath still looks fine, you can replace just this digitiser and keep your existing LCD.
This version comes with the IC assembly already in place, which saves a fiddly step. You will still need to remove the cracked glass, clean the frame and move the home button across. The mini 3 uses a different digitiser because of its Touch ID home button.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my iPad mini?
Yes, if Settings › General › About shows iPad mini or iPad mini 2. It is listed for A1432, A1454, A1489 and A1490.
Does it fit the iPad mini 3?
No. The iPad mini 3 needs a different digitiser because of its Touch ID home button. We sell a separate mini 3 digitiser.
Is the LCD included?
No. This is the touch glass with IC assembly only. Keep your existing LCD unless the picture itself is damaged.
Is it made by Apple?
No. It is a brand new, OEM-quality digitiser made to fit the iPad mini 1 and mini 2, and it is tested before dispatch.
Should I fit it myself?
We recommend professional installation. Removing broken glass and fitting the new panel without dust or bubbles takes practice.
