iPad Air 13" M3: Broken on/off Touch ID button replacement?

I broke on\off button with Touche-ID on Ipad Air 13" m3 (A3268). Can you tell me where I can buy a new part for repair? Maybe there's a website with spare parts. Thanks in advance!

iPhone 16, iOS 26

Your can find information for Self Repair of Apple devices, including eligible models of iPad, here:

Self Service Repair - Apple Support

iPad Air 13-inch (M3) Repair Manual - Apple Support

iPad Air 11-inch (M3) Top Button - Apple Support


Otherwise, you can have your damaged iPad repaired/replaced by Apple - benefiting from a warranty.


For practical purposes, in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification. The cost of the exchange is the same as would otherwise be charged for repair. Unless you have benefit of an active AppleCare plan, an out-of-warranty repair while expensive will be somewhat less than the cost of a replacement iPad.


As for out-of-warranty repair costs, Apple offers a fixed-price price repair. You can verify eligibility and cost for your region/country here:

If you have an active AppleCare+ plan, the cost of repair is reduced to a small excess/deductible fee.
