How to Check Your iPad Warranty: A Step-by-Step Guide
The iPad has become an essential tool in everyday life, revolutionising how we work, learn, and communicate. Whether you’re using it for school assignments, professional projects, or entertainment, iPads provide convenience and efficiency.
However, like any tech device, they are not immune to issues. When faced with software glitches or hardware damage, checking your iPad’s warranty can help you avoid unnecessary repair costs.
This guide will explain why verifying your iPad’s warranty is important and outline the different ways to check your warranty status in Singapore.
Why Should You Check Your iPad’s Warranty?
Ensuring your iPad is still under warranty is crucial for several reasons:
- Cost-Effective Repairs: Apple’s standard warranty covers most repairs for up to one year, while extended coverage through AppleCare+ provides additional protection. If your device is still covered, you can avoid costly out-of-pocket repair fees.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your iPad is still under warranty means you can access Apple’s support services without worrying about unexpected expenses.
- Access to Official Support: Apple warranties allow you to get repairs done by trained professionals using genuine Apple parts, whether at an Apple Store or through an Independent Repair Service Provider under the IRP Programme.
When Should You Check Your iPad’s Warranty?
There are several situations where checking your iPad’s warranty status is advisable:
- Device Malfunctions: If your iPad freezes, crashes, or has unresponsive features, checking your warranty will help determine if repairs are covered.
- Physical Damage: If you’ve dropped your iPad or noticed a cracked screen, verifying your warranty status will clarify whether you qualify for repairs or replacements.
- Battery Issues: Rapid battery drain or failure to charge properly may be covered under Apple’s warranty or AppleCare+.
- Buying a Second-Hand iPad: If you’ve recently purchased a pre-owned iPad, checking the warranty status ensures you understand what support is available.

There are several convenient ways to check your iPad’s warranty status in Singapore:
1. Using the Settings App (Fastest Method)
Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPad.
Step 2: Tap General and select About.

Step 2: Enter your iPad’s serial number (found in Settings > General > About).
Step 3: Click Continue to view your warranty details, including coverage and expiration date.

Step 2: Sign in with your Apple ID linked to your iPad.

A large part of what makes the iPad Mini so popular is its tiny frame combined with insane processing power. Apple knew their target demographic well when tweaking the specs for this recent release, and it really shows. Catered towards people working on the go, and creatives who spend a lot of time drawing and sketching for work, this 6th generation iPad Mini checks all the boxes for a powerful and portable tablet suited for work and play.

Apart from the changes to case material, the new design language of the iPad Mini 6 features a larger edge-to-edge screen, along with narrow borders and minimum bezel space. Although we’ve seen bezel-less devices from Apple for the better half of a decade, this is the first time the iPad Mini has gotten such an upgrade. In addition to looking much sleeker, this change is felt even more coupled with the new 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 wide colour, and ultra-low reflectivity.
The end result is a gorgeous dynamic screen that makes the iPad Mini 6 a practical choice indoors and outdoors. Not to mention the support of Apple Pencil 2, which feels amazing on the low latency screen. All these facets add up to make a difference larger than the sum of each individual part, resulting in the new iPad Mini feeling like the perfect device for anyone wanting a portable and adaptable workhorse tablet.

It wouldn’t be an Apple upgrade if they didn’t improve the camera capabilities on the device. If anything, that’s the least we expect from the tech giant’s annual keynote events. This time, the iPad Mini has received blessings in both the front and back cameras on the device. Boasting a 12MP camera on both the front and back of the 6th-Gen iPad Mini, this is a massive boon compared to the relatively sub-par 7 and 8-megapixel cameras on the respective front and back of the 5th-Gen iPad Mini. The newer Mini also has the ability to record in 4k and capture higher-quality images, courtesy of the new Smart HDR 3 function in the A15 Bionic chip.
Knowing that video calls are also more popular now than even in the time of COVID-19, Apple’s implementation of CentreStage for a more natural video call experience also feels like a natural feature to have as well.
A ton of well-deserved updates to the iPad Mini makes it feel right at home alongside Apple’s latest generation of tablets. If you’re still wondering if you should still get the new iPad, the make or break factor here really is the size and portability of the iPad Mini 6.
Historically, the Mini was always viewed as the cheaper and lower-spec cousin of the flagship iPad. Not this time – the iPad Mini 6 proves a worthy contender for the individual who’s constantly on the move, looking for an all in one device that fits comfortably in the palm of their hand.
