Best wholesale supplier for iPad Air cameras?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on where to source cameras for iPad Air repairs. We've been getting a few requests lately, and I'm not sure where to find reliable parts. I'm particularly interested in suppliers with competitive pricing and a solid RMA policy since we want to avoid any headaches down the line. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially if you've had good experiences with specific vendors.

I've been sourcing iPad Air cameras from iFixit for a while now, and I can say they've been pretty reliable. The quality has been good, and their prices are competitive—usually around $30 to $40 per camera. Plus, their RMA policy is straightforward; I’ve had to return a few defective parts and they handled it swiftly without any fuss. It’s also nice to have their repair guides at hand when training new techs. Definitely worth a look!
I've had mixed results with different suppliers, but one that I keep coming back to is Mobile Defenders. They offer iPad Air cameras at around $35 each, and I've found their customer service to be quite helpful. However, their RMA process can be a bit slow, so just be prepared for that. It’s useful to have a backup supplier just in case, so I also keep an eye on Alibaba for bulk orders to lower costs.
