iPad Repair & Service - Apple Support

Apple generally offer two fixed-cost tiers - (1) battery replacement and (2) other damage. If you have benefit of an active AppleCare+ plan, being an insurance product, the cost is reduced to a small excess/deductible fee.

For qualifying devices, in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/reconditioned device of the same model and specification. This results in a much faster turn-around for you, at no additional cost.

If you have an existing AppleCare+ plan for the iPad in question, the cost of the repair is reduced to the excess/deductible fee. If you don’t have benefit of an active AppleCare plan, you will need to pay the full cost full cost. AppleCare+ is an entirely optional purchase, available to you at time of device purchase, or within 60-days thereafter.

In summary…

• If you do have an existing AppleCare+ plan for your iPad - the repair cost to you will be very low.
• If you don’t already have an existing AppleCare+ plan for your iPad - the repair cost will be high.

Apple offers the same repair cost structure and options whether the iPad is one month, one year, or multiple years old - at least until such time as the iPad is out of hardware support (typically five to seven years after release).
