How to check if my iPad pro-2020's screen is fine ?

Hello, Recently when I was on a phone call sitting on my bed my phone slipped from my hand hitting on my bed and by bouncing it directly fell on my iPad pro-2020 screen, So please tell me how to find out if my iPad screen is good or damaged. (I have a screen protector on it I hope my iPad's screen is fine)

If you see a scratch on the surface of the screen protector, there is still no reason to suspect damage to the screen itself.


Remember - a “screen protector” is a sacrificial additional layer of glass that is intended to protect the underlying screen. If the screen protector is unacceptably damaged, simply replace it with a new screen protector - these being relatively inexpensive.

Unless you see visible damage - or the screen does not function as expected - you have no reason to anticipate an issue with your iPad.


If the screen does not perform normally in-use, then a visit to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) might be warranted - where the iPad can be tested and assessed:

As described, the glass screen protector (as illustrated in your photo) has done its job in protecting the expensive iPad screen from damage.
