I have an ipad 2 in for screen replacement. I have a couple ipad 3 screens on hand. Are there any differences in the two screen sizes, to where the ipad 3 screen will not fit the ipad 2? The screen specs look the same for both of them.
Thanks
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3
Might be some info here.

The iPad 3 has a retina display, whereas the iPad 2 doesn't.
Cheers, Tom 😉
Thanks. Although the retina display most likely is in the LCD which is a seperate part. The outer glass is the digitizer, which merely gives you the touch function. I wouldn't think the digitizer has any effect on the retina display.
I'm curious if the glass (digitizer) is the same size on both the ipad 2 and ipad 3. Guess I can lay the ipad 3 screen on the ipad 2 and see if there is any difference in the size.
Thanks,
Wade
It may be physically similar, but the graphics processor in the iPad 2 will not be able to drive the retina display. So the bottom line is no, you can't use the screen from a third-gen iPad in an iPad 2.
