Ways to fix iPad Pro screen scratches

Hello, everyone. I have a few scratches on my iPad Pro and was wondering if there’s a way to fix the scratches that doesn’t involve replacing it with a new iPad Pro. I do have AppleCare+, but I’m looking for alternatives without resorting to sending away my iPad pro. And my iPad Pro has a liquid armour screen protector on it.

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.2

If you have AppleCare+, Apple should give you a refurbished, replacement iPad Pro for a small fee of $49 U.S.D.

I think the Apple Stores have refurbished product in stores and can do the replacement in store.


Also, Apple DOES have a screen repair program, but that involves making a repair claim and actually mailing your iPad Pro, DIRECTLY, to Apple in Cupertino, CA.

Depending how bad or deep the scratches are, you could try applying a couple of thin coats of straight, non-abrasive liquid car wax or couple of thin coats of non-abrasive auto paste wax (stay away from the iPad's edges and home button) to see if the wax covers over/fills in the scratches.

Use a non-abrasive pad or cloth.

Let the wax haze slightly then but the glass with another non-abrasive cloth.

At this point, whaddya got to lose. The damage is already done.

Good Luck to You!

I”m afraid there really is no way. It’s not like you can buff or sand them out.


with apple care plus you get two instances of a replacement with a fee, so you can decide if hte scratches are worth the fee and inconvenience of not having your device or just learn to live with the scratches.

The only other thing I’d suggest is putting a screen protector on to minimize the scratches or prevent you from getting more but you said you already have one.
