As with the iPhone, the iPad battery will only be replaceable by Apple. Purchasers will have to send the entire device in for the replacement to be done at a cost of $99. Throw on the shipping charge and you’re looking at $105.95 each time you need a new battery.

An important thing to remember, should you find yourself with an iPad that no longer holds its charge, is that Apple doesn’t just replace the battery, but the whole iPad. So be sure to sync everything with your computer before you send it in or you’ll lose anything not on your computer.

The Apple iPad is hitting store shelves on April 3 although if you’re super keen on first generation tech, you can preorder yours today.
