Apple May Replace Your Broken iPad 4 With an New iPad Air 2

Apple Stores and authorized service providers now have the option of replacing your broken iPad 4 with a new iPad Air 2, according to a leaked internal memo sent out by Apple and seen by MacRumors.

The memo reads:

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.
