My ipad pro (2015) had a borked battery, and apple replaced the device for the price of the battery $99... do they actually fix/refurbish the ones they take in and use them to replace other broken ipads etc? Is there a whole refurbishment factory in the background somewhere?

Yes and they resell them on their website, it's a great aftermarket.

They do not sell a ton of refurbished products on the website. The inventory is pretty limited

I heard from an Apple employee that they get money back from parts manufacturers for each part that has failed before warranty expired. So they tear down the device looking for reusable/refundable parts.

Yup. If you can find the tiny link on their site it’s a great way to get 15% off. The refurbs have the same warranty as new ones.
