iPad one-year Warranty

My iPad met the water damage and it’s been for more than 3 days. I am wondering if it is available to the warranty? Or how can I deal with this issue?

iPad, iPadOS 17

Water and electronics do not make happy bedfellows. Your iPad is not designed to be water resistant. While it may survive being splashed with water if immediately dried, it will almost certainly suffer irreparable damage if allowed to get wet, or is submerged.


While the iPad limited warranty covers manufacturing or technical defects that occur during the warranty period, the warranty does not cover water or other accidental damage. If however, you elected to purchase an optional AppleCare+ plan, being an insurance product, you iPad will be covered by this additional protection.


You would be best advised to take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad. If repair isn’t possible, the iPad can be responsibly recycled - and you’ll be in the best possible place to explore possible replacement:
