They probably got rid of lamination to reduce cost, but I wonder if the loss of lamination will improve repairability.

- thesmok 10y agoSure it will. I once successfully replaced the shattered touchscreen on iPad 2 after just watching 1 YouTube video instruction, and it was pretty cheap since I only had to replace the touchscreen, keeping the same display. With laminated displays, you have to replace the whole package, or employ sophisticated techniques to re-laminate new glass on top of display. It's possible, but requires skills, more specialized tools, and exact amount of special optically clear glue.
