Apple Is Selling iPad Repair Parts for Astronomical Prices
Apple began selling iPad repair parts to the public in late May following new right-to-repair legislation, but independent repair professionals say the pricing makes most repairs economically unviable. A charge port for an iPad Pro 11 costs $250 from Apple compared to less than $20 for aftermarket parts, Brian Clark of iGuys Tech Shop told 404 Media.

An iPad A16 digitizer costs $200 from Apple versus $50 from third-party suppliers, while the entire iPad A16 retails for $349. The iPad Pro 13 screen assembly costs $749. Jonathan Strange of XiRepair analyzed the parts catalog and found more than one-third of components cost too much for repair shops to use profitably, 404 Media reported Thursday. Strange calculates repair viability by adding $85 labor costs and 10% profit margin to parts prices, then comparing the total to half the device's retail cost.
