iPad Pro My iPad Pro 5 12.9 exploded with apple pencil

I am Korean, and after asking Apple Korea about this but I heard that it is a user environment problem.

Omg that’s pretty scary… Did they provide you options for replacement?

User environment problem…doesn’t look like they want to replace your device if you don’t have AppleCare. How would that explosion happen?

Apple Korea said it should pay $940 for repairs.

So it’s basically cosmetic damage from material friction where the pencil is supposed to charge.
No explosion as far as I can tell.

That’s an electrical burn.

Does the pencil and charging still work? That's quite a bit of a zap to leave that mark.

If they do still work, what will prevent a recurrence? What caused it?

That almost looks like something in the Apple Pencil gave out like a capacitor or something.

It looks like the pencil got too hot during charging, as you can see a faint burn on the iPad as well.

I’ve never seen that before. I hope you can get things sorted out.
