This is the page Dubai iPad shops don't want you to read. When an iPad screen is replaced, there's a hidden component most customers never hear about: the active digitiser layer that talks to Apple Pencil. Cheap copy screens (which most Dubai shops fit because they cost AED 80 each) often skip the Pencil digitiser layer entirely - the iPad still shows pictures, touch still works for fingers, but Apple Pencil stops working forever.
We use only Pencil-compatible digitisers on every iPad screen we replace. The cost difference to us is significant; we absorb it because customers who paid for an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil deserve to keep using both. This page exists so you know what to ask when comparing quotes around Dubai - and why ours are higher than the cheapest option you'll see.

How it works
Identify your Pencil
We confirm which Apple Pencil generation your iPad supports - Apple has shipped four different Pencils with overlapping iPad compatibility.
Source Pencil-compatible screen
We never use copy screens that skip the digitiser. Our screens come from suppliers that include the full Pencil-compatible digitiser layer.
Calibration after install
Once the screen is installed, we test pressure, tilt, palm rejection and hover (where supported) with the actual Pencil before handover.
Written compatibility guarantee
Your repair invoice explicitly states 'Apple Pencil compatibility preserved - 90-day guarantee'. If Pencil stops working, we re-do the screen at no charge.
90-day written warranty
- • Apple Pencil function explicitly guaranteed for 90 days.
- • Pressure, tilt and palm rejection all covered.
- • Free re-screen if Pencil function fails (cheap shops won't do this).

FAQ
- Ask them to write 'Apple Pencil compatibility guaranteed' on the invoice. Most won't. The cheapest screens (under AED 250 fitted) almost certainly skip the digitiser layer.
- Apple Pencil uses an active electromagnetic resonance system separate from the capacitive touchscreen used by your finger. The digitiser layer sits between the LCD and the front glass and contains an antenna grid the Pencil resonates with. It costs ~AED 100 per screen at supplier price - hence the temptation to skip it.
- Yes - pressure, tilt, palm rejection, latency, hover (where your iPad supports it). We test every Pencil function in front of you at handover.
- Bring it in. We diagnose the digitiser - if it’s a non-Pencil screen, the only honest fix is to replace it with a Pencil-compatible one. We charge for the new screen but credit your time - we’ve seen this scenario hundreds of times.
- Roughly AED 80-150 more depending on iPad model. We absorb most of that cost; our screen prices are 15-20% higher than the cheapest Dubai shops, not 50%. Worth it.
- Yes - newer Pencils use the same digitiser standard plus extra hover and barrel-roll features. Pencil-safe screens preserve all of it.
