📱 2020 · A12Z Bionic · USB-C · Face ID (TrueDepth front camera)Specialist repair for the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) across Gauteng. Added LiDAR scanner for AR. A12Z chip (A12X with GPU upgrade). Magic Keyboard compatible. Identical design to 2018 model. Free diagnostic. Written quote before any work begins. 6-month warranty on all repairs.
The 2020 11-inch Pro added a LiDAR scanner alongside the wide and ultra-wide cameras, used for AR depth mapping and faster autofocus in low light. The sensor sits in a small third lens housing that is easy to overlook during a camera bump repair, but a cracked or misaligned LiDAR window will trigger AR app warnings even when the main cameras work perfectly.

Frequently asked questions — iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020)
How do I identify my iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020)?
The model number is printed in small text on the back of the device. The iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) uses model numbers A2228 / A2231 / A2068 / A2230. Go to Settings — General — About — Model Number. Tapping the model number toggles between the marketing name and the technical identifier. Having your model number ready means we can give you an accurate quote immediately.
Is the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) display laminated?
Fully laminated — the glass is fused directly to the LCD panel. Glass-only refurbishment is still available using our OCA lamination machine — we separate the broken glass and re-laminate new OEM-grade glass onto the original Apple LCD panel. Full assembly replacement is also available for 24-48 hour turnaround.
Can I get a glass-only repair on the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020)?
Yes. iAssist has a professional OCA lamination machine and bubble removal machine. We remove the broken glass and fit new OEM-grade glass, keeping your original Apple LCD panel intact. If the touch layer has also been damaged, touch replacement is available separately at a higher price but still preserves your original display. Important: very badly shattered glass can sometimes damage the touch during removal — we assess after glass removal and advise you before any extra work. Your LCD panel is never at risk. Takes 3-5 days for the adhesive to cure properly.
Does the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) support Apple Pencil?
Yes — iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) supports Apple Pencil 2nd generation. We use OEM-specification digitizer glass for all screen repairs to ensure full Pencil compatibility is preserved — pressure sensitivity, tilt, palm rejection, and hover where supported.
Where is Touch ID on the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020)?
In the top/side power button — no Home button on this model. A failed side button affects both power control and fingerprint authentication. Replacement restores both functions.
Does the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) have Face ID?
Yes — Face ID via a TrueDepth camera embedded in the display assembly, working in portrait and landscape. We carefully preserve the TrueDepth sensor during screen replacement. If the sensor itself is damaged, we give an honest assessment before any work begins.
What charging port does the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) use, and is it repairable?
The iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) uses a USB-C port. It sits on a modular daughterboard — direct swap for R2,500 with no micro-soldering. Fast and lower risk than soldered repairs.
How long does iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) repair take at iAssist?
Screen and battery replacements are typically done within 24-48 hours. Glass-only refurbishment takes 3-5 days for the OCA adhesive to cure. Modular port swaps are often completed same-day. Logic board and liquid damage repairs take 2-4 business days. All turnaround times confirmed at booking.
Is it worth repairing my iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020)?
In most cases yes. The iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd gen (2020) (2020) uses the A12Z Bionic — a very capable current-generation chip. Battery replacement at R1,300 and screen repairs cost a fraction of a new device. For complex logic board faults we give an honest free diagnostic assessment before recommending any repair — we only suggest repair when it genuinely makes financial sense.
Do you offer collection and delivery for iPad repairs?
Yes — door-to-door collection and return across Gauteng for R300 via Eliz Courier, fully insured. Outside Gauteng we use The Courier Guy for insured nationwide shipping. WhatsApp 078 742 4769 to arrange.
