Apple Inc's warranty usually covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures that were not a result of user damage. If your Apple device has a screen defect that is due to a manufacturing issue, it should typically be covered under the standard one-year warranty or under AppleCare+ if you've opted for extended coverage. It's crucial, however, to note that accidental damage (like cracks or scratches from dropping the device) might not be covered unless you have AppleCare+'s accidental damage protection.
