To get rid of incessant criticism over its irreplaceable battery, Apple has decided to offer a Battery Replacement Service for its new iPad tablet. Under the new iPad battery replacement program, you will be provided an entirely new iPad, if your iPad’s battery no longer holds a charge.
Obviously, there are some terms and conditions, Apple will monitor before replacing your iPad. Your iPad will not be eligible for Battery Replacement Service, if it is damaged due to accident, liquid contact etc.
You have to be careful about one more thing. Before submitting your iPad, sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc because Apple’s authority will not take responsibility for your data loss.
The iPad Battery Replacement Service will cost you $99, plus $6.95 shipping, which comes out to $105.95 per unit. It will take one week from the time you preorder for a new iPad.
You can avail the Battery Replacement Service by visiting local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, or you can contact Apple Technical Support.
