Apple has started a trial program to repair some broken iPads in-store, which may result in a return to how it was a decade ago.

If you have a damaged iPad, the current policy at most Apple Store Genius Bars is to ship it from the store to an Apple repair center, and offer customers a replacement. That may change by the end of 2025, with the possibility of a return to in-store repairs.

Sources of iGeneration say that Apple is reviewing its iPad repair policy as part of a trial. The site says that 30 Apple Store locations, located mainly in the United States, will be able to carry out a limited number of iPad repairs in-store.
