2. Third-Party Repair Shops:

• Note: This option can be risky. If something goes wrong, you might end up with more issues. It will also void any Apple warranty.
4. Trade-In or Upgrade:
• If your iPad is older and you’ve been thinking about an upgrade, maybe it’s time. Apple and other retailers often have trade-in programs where you can get some credit for your damaged device towards a new one.
5. Check Your Credit Card Benefits:
• Some credit cards offer protection or insurance for purchases. If you bought your iPad with such a credit card, you might have a broken screen coverage benefit. Worth a check!
6. Homeowner’s or Renter’s Insurance:
• Sometimes, these insurances can cover accidental damages to electronics. Check with your insurance provider; there might be a deductible.
