My iPad broke, what to do?

My iPad broke. I had it in my car in a bag but next to this bag were bathroom tiles that i was going with to my house. When i took my iPad out of said bag i saw that the screen is broken, but not only that, the aluminium case is now curved. Can apple take out the insides and put them in a new case (what's the cost if yes) or do I have to buy a new one?

iPad mini (5th generation)

Dropped iPhone15 - repair case damage Hi all. After many years my wife finally replaced her iPhone6S with an iPhone15. Of course her old carry case didn't fit the new phone so she just put it in her purse. The purse spilled the phone onto concrete when our doggo went a bit crazy and so on day 1 of getting her new phone there are scratches to the aluminum case including raised sharp areas where she holds the phone. Really gutted by this. Is there any way to replace/repair the aluminum edge of the phone?

iPad Screen Cracked By Itself My iPad Screen cracked on its own. Had a perfectly straight line through the iPad from the bottom right corner to the left top corner. I went to my local Apple Genius Bar, they ran it through tests and decided that it was not my fault the screen broke. The screen completely broke by itself. At first they told me they would fix it because it was not my fault, then they told me that they would not be replacing it after telling me they would. I’m extremely disappointed that despite it not being my fault Apple will not replace it. This should not be happening to the screens of the iPad. If you are thinking of buying an iPad DONT! The screen should not be breaking randomly at no cause of the owner. I take extremely good care of my iPad and I buy so many apple products but apple has truly let me down this time. Just a warning for anybody, don’t waste your money on a product that just randomly breaks.

I'm afraid, you will have to buy a new iPad, since the damage is beyond repair and/or the cost for the repair exceed the cost for a replacement.
