The 1 year warranty only applies if you purchased a reburbished product from Apple's online Refurbished Store. It has nothing to do with Service Replacements. Replacements offered for a fee during a repair or service appointment are not covered by the 1 year warranty.

The refurbished iPad page states it has a 1-year warranty!

Refurbished iPad Deals - Apple

I'm at a loss as to why a refurbished iPad sold to you to replace an out-of-warranty device that couldn't be repaired would carry only a 1-month warranty. Refurbished is refurbished!

I would call Apple and request that the 1st-tier agent that answers escalate your call to Customer Relations. Don't speak to anyone about your issue until you are speaking with Customer Relations.

Yes, there are service replacements that cost $600, such as an iPad Pro second generation or later.

The fact the OP mentions it was a replacement to one that could not be fixed, suggests it was a service replacement. Not one purchased directly from the Online Refurbished store. As it's highly unlikely they would have had the OP go buy one from there instead of offering the replacement during the service procedure.

Unless he had AppleCare, his original device was out-of-warranty when he damaged it.

Correct, and as such an out of warranty service replacement would have been offered which can totally cost $600.
