Apple has also said that it may restrict or limit the repair programme depending on the original country or the region of purchase. Although, the programme will serve the affected iPad Air (2019) models, most severe cases will entitle the customer for a replacement.
Additionally, if an iPad Air (2019) unit has any physical damage that is affecting the repair, for instance, a cracked display, Apple will fix that first, which can incur some cost over and above the free service or replacement.
