Engineered for Fast, Reliable Repair
Pre-Installed IC Connector
The IC chip arrives factory-bonded to the flex. Touch works the moment the connector clicks in. No microsoldering, no reballing, no IC transplant.
Touch ID Preservation
Transfer the original Home Button to the new digitizer. Touch ID pairs with the iPad Secure Enclave, not the glass. Fingerprint unlock keeps working.
Oleophobic HD Coating
Factory oleophobic coating repels skin oil and cuts fingerprint smudges. Aluminosilicate glass restores the original glide-touch feel.
Space Grey Colour Match
Black frame matches Apple's Space Grey iPad housing. No mismatch at the camera cutout or Home Button surround. Looks factory after install.
12-Month BQ7 Warranty
Vendor-confirmed 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects. Each digitizer is bench-tested for touch and IC handshake at our Forest Lake workshop.
Apple Pencil 1 Active Layer
Full active digitizer layer for Apple Pencil 1st gen. Pressure and tilt input restored after install. The iPad 6 was the first non-Pro iPad with Pencil support.
Diagnostic Guide - Digitizer or Full LCD?
Before you order, check the issue. Is the touch glass broken or the display itself failed? The wrong choice costs you a second order.
Choose THIS digitizer when:
The glass is cracked. Touch is unresponsive. Ghost touches appear. The display below still shows a clear image with no lines or dead pixels.
Don't use this digitizer when:
The display shows lines, black spots, bleeding, white-out or backlight failure. In those cases the LCD is damaged too. Order our full BQ7 LCD instead.
Cost-saving tip: Digitizer-only repair beats a full LCD assembly. Save 40-60% when the display is undamaged.
