About the iPad Mini 3
The iPad Mini 3 (A1599, A1600) was released in 2014 as the first iPad Mini with Touch ID. It features an 7.9-inch 2048x1536 Retina display powered by the Apple A7 chip. Essentially a Mini 2 with Touch ID added, it brought fingerprint authentication to the compact form factor for the first time. We repair every component at our Perth Road workshop in Dundee.
Common iPad Mini 3 repairs include cracked screen glass, Touch ID button failure, battery degradation, and Lightning port damage. Touch ID is paired to the logic board at the factory, a damaged Touch ID sensor cannot be replaced with a new one without losing fingerprint functionality. Our technicians have over 20 years' combined experience with iPad repairs and handle everything from straightforward screen replacements to complex board-level diagnostics.

How much does it cost to fix a cracked iPad Mini 3 screen?
The iPad Mini 3 has a non-laminated display, which means the glass digitizer and LCD are separate layers. If only the glass is cracked and the LCD underneath is fine, a glass-only repair is possible, which keeps costs down. Drap it in to our Perth Road workshop for a diagnostic and we'll give you an accurate quote.
Is it worth replacing the battery in my iPad Mini 3?
Aye, it depends on what you use it for. The iPad Mini 3 is from 2014, so the battery will definitely be degraded by now. If it still does what you need - browsing, videos, reading - a new battery can give it a proper lease of life for a fraction of the cost of a new iPad. Come in and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether it's worth the repair.
My iPad Mini 3 won't charge properly - can you fix that?
Aye, charging issues are one of the most common iPad Mini 3 problems we see. It's usually the Lightning port getting clogged with pocket lint and dust, or the port itself wearing out from years of plugging and unplugging. Sometimes a good clean sorts it, other times the port needs replacing. Either way, bring it in and we'll have a look - we ken whit we're daein with Lightning repairs.
My iPad Mini 3 Touch ID stopped working - can you fix it?
Touch ID on the iPad Mini 3 is paired to the logic board at the factory, so the actual sensor button cannae be swapped for a new one without losing fingerprint functionality. However, if Touch ID stopped working after a drop or another issue, there might be a flex cable or connection problem we can fix. Drap it in and we'll diagnose it properly - nae charge for the honest answer.
How do I know if my iPad is an iPad Mini 3?
The easiest way is to check the back of your iPad for the model number - it's printed in small text near the bottom. The iPad Mini 3 uses model numbers A1599, A1600. You can also go to Settings > General > About and look for the Model Number field. If you're still not sure, just bring it in to our Perth Road workshop and we'll identify it for you in seconds - nae bother.
Is the iPad Mini 3 still worth repairing in 2014?
It depends on the repair cost versus what you use it for. The iPad Mini 3 from 2014 won't run the latest iPadOS anymore, but it's still perfectly fine for web browsing, email, videos, and reading. If a screen or battery repair costs a fraction of buying even a used replacement, it can make sense. We'll always give you an honest assessment - we're not going to talk you into a repair that's not worth it.
