Dead iPad battery? Worry not, Apple will gladly replace your whole iPad for a new one (or maybe refurbished):
If your iPad requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee.
Where as if an iPhone has a dead battery, only the battery gets swiped out:
If your iPhone requires service only because the battery’s ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, Apple will service your iPhone for a service fee.
The iPad Replacement service will run users $106.
The service costs $99, plus $6.95 shipping. The total cost is $105.95 per unit.
All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
And you’ll have to backup your data with iTunes before sending in your iPad for a replacement:
No. You will receive a replacement iPad that will not contain any of your personal data. Before you submit your iPad for service, it is important to sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information when servicing your iPad.
