iPad service pricing – Australia
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 no longer covered by the Apple warranty or by consumer law.
- Your iPad screen gets broken accidentally.
- Your iPad has other accidental damage or issues caused by unauthorised modifications.
If your iPad issue isn’t covered, you’ll pay an out-of-warranty fee unless your iPad has AppleCare+, which 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.

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 holds less than 80 percent of its original capacity.
| Battery service | In-warranty or with AppleCare+ | Out-of-warranty |
|---|---|---|
| All eligible iPad models | A$ 0 | A$ 165 |
All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. If your iPad is out of warranty and requires shipping, we'll add an additional A$ 19.95 shipping fee to the listed service price.
Other battery and power issues
Your iPad battery’s performance depends on how you use apps and settings. These tips show you how to maximise the life of your iPad battery.
If your iPad won't turn on or if the screen turns black, follow these steps and see if the issue gets resolved. Your iPad might not require service.
Screen repair
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 or by consumer law.
If your screen cracks due to a manufacturing defect, it’s covered by the Apple warranty and consumer law.
The cost to service an iPad with an accidentally damaged screen depends on your iPad model, any additional damage and if you have AppleCare+ coverage.
AppleCare+ for iPad includes up to two incidents of accidental damage. 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.
