As of 1st November the iPad 4th generation was made obsolete, meaning that worldwide it is no longer eligible for any hardware servicing. 

The Pad 4th generation was the first iPad to feature the Lightning connector, which made its debut on the iPhone 5. Prior to this, the iPad used the 30 pin connector.
