Black marks appeared on iPad screen. The screen isn’t cracked on the outside just the marks on the screen. Can it be fixed or is it better to just buy new?
Those are damaged screen marks. While the glass on the outside may not be broken, those marks are cracked display marks so the display under the glass has been broken and the iPad will need to be replaced or repaired.
Do the marks show up in all of your apps and/or if you change the background image?
If so, then your iPad's display is damaged and will need to be replaced.
