Flat fee for Ipad Pro Cracked screen repair with Applecare

The standard AppleCare warranty and AppleCare+ plan are entirely different. The former is simply a warranty that covers material defects - and for many countries/regions is limited to one year. The latter, by contrast, in an optional (paid for) insurance product that covers accidental damage and other non-warranty repairs.

For practical purposes, in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification. The cost of the exchange is the same as would otherwise be charged for repair. Unless you have benefit of an active AppleCare plan, an out-of-warranty repair while expensive will be somewhat less than the cost of a replacement iPad.

As for out-of-warranty repair costs, Apple offers a fixed-price price repair. You can verify eligibility and cost for your region/country here:

If you have an active AppleCare+ plan, the cost of repair is reduced to a small excess/deductible fee.
