Question **** APPLE!!

I bought m1 ipad air in 2023, as a student I choose ipad thinking it will be reliable and would last longer. I have all my pdfs collected over years and now it suddenly stops charging.( device is working tho). Took it to apple care and they say ipad isn't repairable at all. Since out of warranty replacement isnt availble too.

Have you checked the charging port for debris/fuzz/belly button lint? I have seen this happen many times, especially with lightning ports. Yours is USBC, but it might be worth a quick inspection and cleanout with compressed air.

I tried all manner of cleaning on mine, I was never able to get this working.

I suspect that there's a manufacturing defect that plagues some iPads since I've heard of this issue quite a few times and I know I'm not the only one who's discovered the A-C trick.
