iPad service pricing - United States
How much does it cost?
If your iPad issue is covered under our warranty or consumer law, you won't pay a fee. Otherwise, repairs are considered out of warranty (and not covered) when:
- Your iPad is over one year old.
- Your iPad screen gets broken accidentally.
- Your iPad has other accidental damage or issues caused by unauthorized modifications.
If your iPad issue isn’t covered, you’ll pay an out-of-warranty fee unless your iPad has AppleCare+ coverage. AppleCare+ includes two incidents of accidental damage. You might be able to use one of those incidents for a cracked screen or for other damage to your iPad. Each AppleCare+ incident has a service fee, as shown.
These prices apply to repair or replacement made by Apple. Pricing and terms might vary at other service providers. All prices are in U.S. dollars and are subject to tax. We'll add a $6.95 shipping fee if we need to ship your iPad. Your replacement iPad will be new or equivalent to new. If the issue with your iPad was caused by severe damage from an accident or from abuse, you might have to pay the full replacement value.

Battery service costs
If your battery needs replacement, we can repair or replace your iPad for a battery service fee. There's no fee if your battery is defective and your iPad is covered by warranty, consumer law, or AppleCare+. Our warranty doesn’t cover wear from normal use.
If you have AppleCare+ for iPad, it offers replacement coverage if your iPad battery can hold only 80 percent or less of its original capacity.
All prices are in U.S. dollars and are subject to tax. We'll add a $6.95 shipping fee if we need to ship your iPad.
