For practical purposes, for battery service of qualifying devices, 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 battery replacement. When exchanged, the replacement iPad is yours to keep.

Exchanging the iPad is a quick and easy alternative - and if exchanged in store, is usually same day. Unlike iPhone, for which an in-store battery replacement might be possible, iPad’s must be sent to Apple’s service partner - this process taking potentially many weeks.

My experience is that Apple does not install a new battery in-store. They send the device to one of their central repair and refurbishment centers. For a quick turnaround, they send you a factory refurbished model of exactly the same specs as yours. Refurbished units get tested and fitted with a new battery and outer shell.


I had the service done on an iPad 5 and the replacement was perfect in every way, and still in daily use.


That exchange method brings up a couple of points:


— As you will be getting a different device back ,it is important that you fully back up the device, preferably to a computer, and that you follow this Apple article to the letter:


Sell, give away, or trade in your iPad - Apple Support


The same steps apply to service.


— As Apple has to ship the device, you can save a day on each end by using their Send-in option shown on the web page the Mac Jim ID posted. I set up the repair online, then dropped my iPad at an UPS retail Store near me. UPS already had notification that I was bringing it in, and took care of packing it. By the time I got home 10 minutes later, I had an email from Apple confirming UPS had the iPad ready for shipping.


That was a Friday morning. By noon Wednesday, I had the replacement in hand. Not bad considering two of those days were weekends, so Apple did not receive my old one until Monday morning. Very happy with how this was handled.
