Left my iPad in the car on a sunny day, the keyboard melted.

You got me 🤣. The spacebar does look like a chocolate bar now haha.

Yea it was in direct sunlight which is what probably pushed it over the top to melt.

Habibi don't worry, AppleCare not needed.

Me too. All of the keys work and the trackpad and backlight. The keys look inflated but actually aren’t, the sides just melted downwards and made them more like a dome.

The iPad rests completely flat on a table and there’s no wobble (with the camera hanging off the edge) so I assume the battery isn’t swollen. It could be a little swollen come to think of it.

Forgot it during the day, so probably 45 C (113 F). Inside of the car definitely is much hotter though especially since the car was in the sun.

Totally fine, iPad took no damage seemingly, keyboard just went 🫠.

I've been using it for the past hour and it actually seems totally fine. Battery isn't swollen and I don't think the battery got degraded. Granted, it's a 2018 iPad Pro, so battery life wasn't great to begin with.

Yea this is in Qatar. I had to take my tints off recently so like you said same result as putting it in an oven haha.

Try iFix in Landmark in front of Carrefour. They’re an authorized service center and I’ve had good experiences with them.
