If you damage your new 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro and don’t have AppleCare+, Apple will charge $699 to repair the broken device.
The fee update was added to Apple’s iPad Service and Repair chart earlier today after ?iPad Pro? orders went live. At $699, it is $50 more expensive to get a repair for the new fifth-generation iPad than it was to get a repair for the prior fourth-generation model. The extra cost is likely due to the new mini-LED display that’s exclusive to the 12.9-inch ?iPad Pro?.
The repair $699 fee only applies if you don’t have ?AppleCare?+. If you damage your ?iPad Pro? and have an ?AppleCare?+ plan, the ?AppleCare?+ service fee is $49, with two accidental damage repairs available every 12 months.
You also won’t need to pay a fee if there is a manufacturing issue, as problems that Apple’s fault will be covered under the standard one-year warranty. If the warranty has expired, Apple will charge the $699 fee.
The $699 price applies to any damage to the 12.9-inch ?iPad Pro?, including a broken display, and with a device as expensive as the 12.9-inch ?iPad Pro?, ?AppleCare?+ is a good idea. Apple charges $149 for two years of ?AppleCare?+, or an ongoing subscription can be purchased for $7.99. ?AppleCare?+ used to be available for a limited amount of time, but can now be extended indefinitely with the subscription options.
Out-of-warranty fees for the 11-inch ?iPad Pro? have not changed, and it costs $499 to repair a broken 11-inch model if you don’t have ?AppleCare?+, or $49 with ?AppleCare?+.
Apple’s new ?M1? ?iPad Pro? models went on sale this morning and the first new devices will be available to customers starting on May 21. The 12.9-inch model was in short supply and is now sold out until July.Related Roundup: iPad ProBuyer’s Guide: 11″ iPad Pro (Buy Now), 12.9″ iPad Pro (Buy Now)This article, “It Will Cost $699 to Repair a Broken 12.9-Inch M1 iPad Pro Without AppleCare+” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
