A family member dropped my iPad Mini 7 and cracked the screen in the corner (forming an hypotenuse if that makes sense) about an inch and a half from the corner. I do have AppleCare. It's not all that noticeable and had a screen protector on when it happened, which may have lessened the damage. Actually I have to 'look for it' to notice it. Can this be repaired and will they, since this was my fault ? And should I even bother since it's not that noticeable. If I do, please explain the process as far as protecting my passwords, personal info and such ? Do you mail it ? Or does it have to be brought to an Apple Store ? How long does this usually take ? Thanks...
 
No one can tell you if you should have it fixed….. that subjective and completely up to you. As for the process, I just went through this because I dropped my iPad mini 7 with AppleCare. If you decide to have it fixed, use the Apple Support app, which should show you these two options. Which option you choose will dictate whether or not you have to worry about protecting anything, but Apple makes the process very easy.
