This can only happen in Malaysia, I bought online an ipad (serial No.DQTFRH1PDKPH) on July 2011, In December I accidently drop my ipad and the screen was seriously cracked. I bought it to an Apple authorised dealer ( EpicCentre@IOI Puchong – Afor Sdn Bhd)as the product was still under warranty for repair.
On 6th Jan 2012, I called the dealer enquiring about the outcome and to my utter disbelief and shock was told that the cost of repair is RM2379 (USD755).A brand new ipad cost RM1499 (USD476)
