Mail-in service: Request a box and send your iPad to an Apple Repair Center.

How long will it take?
Depending on the type of service, your repair might take up to 5 business days. If your iPad was engraved by Apple, it could take up to 10 business days.
After we receive your iPad, you can check the status of your repair.
How much does it cost?
If your iPad issue is covered under our warranty you won't pay a fee. If your iPad issue isn’t covered, you’ll pay a fee, which will be either an out-of-warranty fee or an AppleCare+ service fee. See the applicable fees on this page.
Is your iPad covered by AppleCare+?
AppleCare+ gives you expert technical support and hardware coverage from Apple, including accidental damage protection. Each incident of accidental damage is subject to a service fee.
If you don't have AppleCare+, you'll pay the out-of-warranty fee for that type of repair.
| Model | Accidental damage (AppleCare+ fee) |
|---|---|
| All eligible iPad models | $ 49 |
Not sure if you're covered? Check if you have AppleCare+ coverage by entering your iPad serial number.
About iPad service pricing
Repairs are considered out of warranty (and not covered) when:
- Your iPad is no longer covered by the Apple warranty.
- Your iPad screen gets broken accidentally.
- Your iPad has other accidental damage or issues caused by unauthorized modifications.
The out-of-warranty prices on this page apply to repair or replacement made by Apple. The listed prices include screen repair. Pricing and terms might vary at other service providers.
If the issue with your iPad was caused by certain damage (such as severe damage not covered by the Apple warranty or AppleCare+), you might have to pay the full replacement value.

If you have AppleCare+, it includes accidental damage protection. Each incident has a service fee. You can use an incident for screen damage. If you don’t have AppleCare+, the out-of-warranty fee applies.
