Brought it to an official Apple repair shop who quoted me €950 to repair it. So that's not happening. A brand new one is €1450 and there's an M3 version out in March apparently, so there's no way I'm buying a new one, and I can't afford to pay €950 to repair it.
Does anyone have any experience getting a water damaged iPad Pro repaired successful by a non-Apple repairer? I'm guessing they don't really want to repair it and that quoted fee is to replace it with a refurbished model.
