IPad's lightning port

how big a deal to replace the IPad's lightning port which has slowly deteriorated until it will no longer charge the device?

To replace the Lightning port, Apple’s standard repair charges apply. If you have an active AppleCare+ plan, being an insurance product, you’ll pay a small excess/deductible charge. For an out-of-warranty repair, the charge is c.60% of the “as new” price of the iPad.


In both cases, Apple’s standard procedure is to offer exchange for a reconditioned iPad of the same model and specification - which you will keep.

Apple Stoes DO NOT repair iPads.

To expedite speedy customer service, Apple stores ONLY do in/out of warranty iPad replacement.

If NO paid, extended AppleCare+ warrsnty plan, for this iPad, device replacement WILL BE expensive, at approx. 60% of that iPad’s original price.


If this iPad is relatively new ( within two years ) and has a paid, AppleCare+ warranty service plan, device replacement will caryy a small replacement device fee of $49 US.D..



Good Luck to You!
