iPad Air 4 (2020) Repair

Apple refreshed the popular iPad Air tablet in October of 2020. The new 10.9” Air sports a Liquid Retina display and gains the boxier third-generation iPad Pro design, but without a camera flash or a 120Hz ProMotion display. Unique to the Air, TouchID has been incorporated into the Sleep/Wake button on the device’s top edge. 2020’s iPad Air comes in both familiar and new colors: Silver, Space Gray, Rose Gold, Green, and Sky Blue.

Apple’s iPad Air 4 is available in both Wi-Fi and Cellular models, and can be identified by iPad13,1 and iPad13,2 respectively, and A2316, A2324, A2325, or A2072, depending on region.
