Unfortunately, however, getting that screen replaced isn’t cheap.

But you might not even want to get the screen repaired.
Let’s go over the different options.
If You Have AppleCare+
Did you decide to go with Apple’s extended warranty for your iPad?
If so, you are in luck.
And when you consider that screen replacement can cost hundreds (plural!)
of dollars, the $49 service charge you will pay is quite cheap in comparison.
Another option for small cracks is not to do anything at all.
It is important to remember that a small crack can grow and eventually turn into a shattered screen.
However, the screen replacement is a set fee.
In fact, some people still use their iPad even with a shattered screen.
This is an option mainly because screen repair can be expensive.
Is It Time to Downgrade?
The bigger the screen, the more expensive the repair.
After all, it costs more to repair an iPad Air 2 than a brand new iPad Mini 2.
Should You Sell Your iPad?
Just because the screen is shattered doesn’t mean it is worthless.
