Cracked bezel on the M1 IPad Pro 11 inch ! [Advice Needed]

In common with many other models of iPad, your 2021 iPad Pro has a fully laminated screen. As such, the cover glass/bezel is fused with the entire display panel to form a single component. As such, the cover glass/bezel cannot be replaced in isolation; the entire screen will require replacement.

If you have an AppleCare+ Plan, Apple will exchange your iPad for a small fee (AppleCare+ is an insurance product - and as such has a small excess/deductible fee). If you don’t have AppleCare+ cover, the fee will be c.60% of the “as new” cost of the iPad.

first step would be to read

Apple and Apple Stores DO NOT repair iPads, but ONLY offer in/out of warranty replacement devices.

The “bezel” is just the “blacked out” part of the glass the is glued ( laminated ) to the iPad's LCD panel.

Since NO AppleCare+, this is going to be an expensive replacement device at approx. 60% of that iPad's original cost.

If everything is still working, currently, with no issue, maybe best to just live with the crack.

You need to know/understand that IF you had purchased two-year+, extended AppleCare+, at purchase or within 60 days of purchase, the replacement iPad would have ONLY cost you a small replacement device fee of $49 U.S.D..

You, also, need to know, that to have that iPad have any trade-in value in the future, you are going to need to get that iPad replaced as any screen defects may effect its trade-in value, such as, maybe, NO value in trade due to this screen crack.

Also, any glass screen cracks have the possibility of spreading and getting worse.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

As with all insurance products, AppleCare+ must be purchased before disaster strikes - not after. Insurance is always pre-emptive.

Apple do provide a generous 60-day window of opportunity, from new, in which to purchase AppleCare+ - after which the opportunity to purchase this protection is lost.

apart from apple care+ then varying from country to contry, one may have general person insurance which covers some things, insurances which one has with an insurance company.

I once had an expensive smartphone stolen and my insurance company covered most of the cost of the phone, many insurance companies in my country also have various general consumer electronic cover packets.

Did you purchase extended AppleCare+ for that expensive iPad Pro?
