AppleCare Protection Plan for iPad
For up to two years from the original purchase date of your iPad, the AppleCare Protection Plan gives you direct, one-stop access to Apple's award-winning telephone technical support for questions about using your iPad. And you get hardware repair coverage — both parts and labor — on your iPad, its battery, and included accessories.
Overview

Every iPad comes with complimentary telephone technical support for 90 days from your iPad purchase and a one-year limited warranty*. With the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend your service coverage to two years from the iPad purchase date.
