Dead iPad Pro

My daughter's iPad pro bought brand new in December 2016 died a few months ago. I've tried the hard reset, tried charging it, chatted with an Apple specialist, took it to my local Apple store twice and they said it's dead. I even took it to a UBreakIFix place who tried everything including replacing the battery, but nothing. I did not buy the 2 year Apple Care, but Apple did offer to "swap" this one for a new one of the same model for something like $350. I declined of course (why would I pay for another one of the same model when the same thing could happen again). And, of course, it was not linked to the cloud, so we do not have any of the photos, videos, etc that were on it. One agent I chatted with said this is a known issue with this model, but as of September of this year, there was no "recall". This is very frustrating. This was not a cheap iPad. I would like to see a recall of this iPad.

These are user to user support communities. No one of responsibility is here from Apple.

Not sure if the Apple employee was lying to you or not.

There is no “known” issues with the 9.7 inch iPad Pro models.

If there was, we would be seeing such issues posted here on a regular basis about 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro models being faulty, failing or dead.

Not sure why your daughter’s iPad Pro has failed catastrophically.

Without extended AppleCare+, any replacement iPad model Apple offers is going to cost approx. 60% of its original price.


Since this iPad seems to have had a catastrophic failure and you had the battery replaced by a third party and NOT by Apple, you could still try and contact Apple directly in Cupertino, CA U.S.A. via the link below and see if Apple will do anything to accommodate you, or not.

It is possible that the third party battery replacement may have doomed you from any help from Apple, but, at this stage, it can’t hurt to try.

Calmly explain what happened to the iPad Pro to the Apple customer support employee.

If no satisfaction from the 1st employee you speak with, calmly ask for another higher tier Apple customer support employee and, once again, calmly explain the major issue with that 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro.


Good Luck to You!
