My iPad Pro M4 (with ESR protective case and screen) fell from the bedside table. The screen went black. The alarm that I had set worked, it gave the sound when charging but black screen went Tried soft and hard reset. No luck. The computer tech said there’s damage to the screen - I can’t see it.

To my mind, this shouldn’t have happened with a protective case and screen and falling from a low height.

I didn’t get the extended apple care but my warranty is good until November’25. Apple says it’ll cost $1359.00 for a new screen. Help!!

Has anyone else had a cracked screen for what seems to be a minor fall? could it be a flaw?
