The answer: Apple will send you a replacement iPad. Apple’s Support Web site states “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.” That fee is US$105.95 — $99 for the replacement service, and $6.95 for shipping. The replacement process will take about a week, and doesn’t include transferring data from your original iPad to your replacement. The iPad battery replacement process is handled by Apple’s own retail stores, Apple Technical Support, and Apple Authorized Service Providers. The iPad is a multimedia tablet device with a 9.7-inch touch screen interface. It includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, optional 3G wireless data support, and is compatible with most iPhone apps. Apple launched its iPad pre-order program on March 12, and will ship the device on April 3. Email This Tweet This Jeff Gamet on Twitter 52602 Jeff Gamet news 1268653666 Post A Comment or Log-in.

GrahamExton said on March 15th, 2010 at 11:39 AM: I don’t want someone else’s crappy iPad. I want mine. The one I wittily named Paddy. Lee Dronick said on March 15th, 2010 at 11:46 AM (Edited: 10/18/2011 6:20 PM): The one I wittily named Paddy. I am “green” with envy Just to clarify, I assume you’d be getting a used (not new) iPad. I would also think that. Maybe after a few years and iPad v3 is on the streets you would get a v2 as a replacement for the original version that you sent in. Brad Hutchings (Bosco) said on March 15th, 2010 at 12:42 PM (Edited: 10/12/2011 8:04 PM): All your iPad are belong to me. -Steve Sent from my iPhone daemon said on March 15th, 2010 at 12:54 PM: I think everyone should get their iPad’s engraved with “Property of X, if you’re not X you stole this iPad!” cbsofla said on March 15th, 2010 at 3:37 PM: Refurbs, I’d think. I could live with that. Constable Odo said on March 16th, 2010 at 7:16 AM: By the time the iPad battery dies, you’ll all have bought newer versions of the iPad and won’t even mind getting a refurb version one. If they run out of version one refurbs, they might even give you a refurb version two if you’re lucky. I think the replacement refurb is a win-win situation for most users. Post A Comment or Log-in.
