Apple Stores<\/a> and Apple Authorized Service Providers now have the option of replacing a customer’s broken fourth-generation iPad<\/a> with an iPad<\/a> Air 2, according to an internal memo distributed by Apple last week.<\/p>\n

Starting March 30, iPad 4th generation whole unit repairs may be substituted to iPad Air 2 models. Apple’s repair and order management tool will indicate for each repair if a substitution will take place. Please note the substitute part\u2019s color and capacity to ensure the customer understands what their replacement iPad whole unit will be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
