can anyone explain why Apple only allow 2 tears max on Ipad warranty
my son's Ipad has stopped working after 2 years
he is not the only one that has had this happen
iPad
All we can say is "because that's what Apple decided". Anything else would be fruitless speculation. The iPad has a one-year factory warranty which can be extended to a total of two years with an AppleCare plan and that's it.
Regards.
If it's an iPad 1, the battery may not take a charge anymore. Also, has it been dropped?

no its never been dropped
it was working ok run out of charge & that was it never to recharge again
I dont like the fact that they dont repair just change
they can replace my Iphone 4 s for £135 old for new so what they are saying is that it dosnt even cost them £135 to make but sell for £500
the more i find out the more I feel i am being bent over & shafted
Apple can do an out-of-warranty exchange.
Seriously I believe they only allow two years because engineers know that the products they create will last only that long. The products they make are not meant for long-term use. Apple offers a year warranty without Apple care because the product will operate ok up until that point and they'll extend it to 2 with Apple Care because most people upgrade within that time frame. Apple products aren't really worth the value.
Stated from a busness perspective.
An exchange meaning "we can really fix your new device but we will not because we want to exchange it for a crappy REFURBISHED devices.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
| iPad model | Out-of-Warranty Service Fee |
|---|---|
| iPad mini | $219 |
| iPad 3rd, 4th generation | $299 |
| iPad 2, iPad | $249 |
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
