iPad Air 5 charger port

I tried checking up what’s wrong with my iPad recently and they said it was broken, how much are the estimated price on getting the charger port changed. It’s not the battery that is the problem, it’s the port itself.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

You can obtain an estimated repair cost for your iPad here:

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.
