Best wholesale supplier for iPad Pro 12.9 home buttons?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to source home buttons for the iPad Pro 12.9 and I'm hoping to get some recommendations. My shop has been doing well with iPad repairs, but I'm struggling to find a reliable wholesale supplier for these parts. I've tried a few vendors, but the quality has been hit or miss, and the prices tend to vary quite a bit. I'm particularly interested in suppliers that offer decent RMA policies, as I've had a few parts come in defective. I'm also curious about bulk buying options and any tips for streamlining the workflow when installing these buttons. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’ve been sourcing iPad Pro 12.9 home buttons from a supplier called iFixit. Their parts are generally reliable, and I've found their prices to be competitive, around $15 per button when you buy in bulk. Plus, they have a solid RMA policy, which has saved me a lot of headaches. I’ve had to return a couple of defective buttons, and the process was straightforward. It’s really helped maintain my workflow since I can trust the quality of what I’m getting. I also use RepairShopr to keep track of my inventory, which makes ordering parts a lot easier. Hope this helps!
Hey there! I’ve had mixed experiences with parts suppliers. For iPad Pro 12.9 home buttons, I’d suggest checking out eBay for some local sellers. I usually find prices around $10 per button, which is nice, but the quality can vary significantly. I recommend checking seller ratings and reviews before purchasing. As for workflow, I keep a checklist for my team to make sure we test each button before installation, which has helped reduce returns. Just be cautious with eBay; it can be a bit of a gamble.
