My iPad exploded - the batteries blew up and broke through the screen and shattered the glass destroying the case. My response from apple was that they cannot fix this version anymore therefore would do nothing. Unacceptable - I purchased this item and it has exploded from the inside. I feel i should have a replacement or credit to replace this item.

Really...
A 2012 iPad 3 is almost 9-years old now.
Apple stopped supporting 8-10-year old devices well over 4 years ago.
Third party app developers stopped supoort these old iPads over 2 years ago.
That iPad 3 model is long out of warranty.
If you didn't get actually hurt from this battery explosion and your Home was not caught on fire and destroyed in some fashion ( very lucky ), then count your blessings.
Apple owes you nothing for that old device.
We are all sorry to learn that the old, rechargeable batteries in that iPad unexpectedly exploded in your himr, but this does not change the facts.
This is an old device and Apple really does not owe you anything
Very Sorry.
You should be glad no one got hurt/injured and your home did not get get destroyed or damaged from any fire from this explosion,

The iPad is obsolete. it has long been out of warranty and now is even out of the period when Apple would consider repairing it, sorry.
