What does the warranty cover?

Probably not. See the following from iPad Repair - Official Apple Support

If your iPad screen breaks accidentally, you have the option to replace your iPad for an out-of-warranty fee. Accidental damage isn't covered by the Apple warranty. If your screen cracks due to a manufacturing issue, it’s covered by the Apple warranty.

Screen damage is generally not covered by the Apple limited device warranty - as it is notoriously difficult to prove that the damage is the result of a manufacturing defect. Screen breakage occurring within the initial 14-day unconditional returns period, where no other obvious damage is evident, is covered.

Beyond 14-days, you’ll be offered an out-of-warranty exchange for a reconditioned iPad of the same model and specification - the cost being c.60% of the “as new” price. If you elected to purchase the optional AppleCare+ coverage, this being an insurance product, you’ll be able to exchange for a notional excess/deductible.
