I had my sons iPad Mini screen replaced at our local Batteries+ and I've noticed it fingerprints way more than the original.

Question: Do replacement screens tend to have some coating that needs to be cleaned off, or is it perhaps that the replacement isn't oleophobic coated? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

That's why I would go to the Apple store and do it there...worth the price imo

It's always a crapshoot with non-OEM parts, especially for Apple devices.
