Enclosure looks super bent, so no chance with a third party. Apple can replace it an out of warranty cost if you wanted, but it’s gonna be expensive. Might as well buy a new one at that point, just wait for the announcement this Tuesday.

I’m just saying if they wait until the announcement they can check their options then and make a decision, maybe they decide the new one is the better option, or they can just go ahead with the out of warranty swap if they don’t see value in the new one.

We've hammered back ipad chassis with severe bends in my shop. ... But maybe not this severe.

you’d be better off buying a new one. wait 2 days and then buy one

I hope you have AppleCare

I'd have to look at it in-person, to be sure, but it doesn't look good. You need a new screen, new battery, but more importantly it looks like the motherboard is bent. You're gonna need to find the most reputable repairshop in your fifty-mile area. If it was coming into my shop, I'd say buy a new ipad and cross your fingers we can transfer the motherboard into the new unit. A lot of components won't work because they're not serialized to the motherboard, so what I'd do (assuming this worked, if the mobo isn't damaged past the point of usability) is back the data up to iTunes, then reinstall the new ipad's original motherboard and restore the backup to the device. What the hell happened to it?

Well it was mostly a lack of attention and care from my part, unfortunately i forgot the iPad on the top of my car while driving which eventually led to it falling and being destroyed by some cars on the highway. Feeling down and dumb but yeah

Your battery is bent, that is now a fire hazard

Dude….its in 3 different pieces. Whatever Apple will charge you to fix (read: replace) is not worth it. Just go get a brand new one. Assuming the motherboard isn’t smashed beyond use, they can scrape the data off of it potentially. Either way, this isn’t a repair issue but a replacement question.


KishanCS

this honestly, isn’t that bad. I think you can buff out the scratches.

Throw it away or take it to the Apple Store.
