Traded my 10.5 in on Friday after upgrading to the new 12.9. I knew it had the white spot but I didn’t mention it in the O2 shop on the off-chance they didn’t notice... they did, and they got in contact today to tell me that instead of £310 they can now only offer me under £80.
I think they’re specifically looking out for this. Thankfully I’m not relying on the money, but ffs Apple.
That’s scandalous.

Damn, I just ordered a refurbed 10.5. Now, after reading all these posts and knowing Apple never really fixes an issue in a model run, I'm going to take it to the Apple store and get my money back. I don't want to own a product with an ongoing problem. I travel and live overseas and dealing with foreign Apple stores is a PITA.
My iPad mini 2 screen has a problem on the right side and so does my girlfriends. My 2013 MBP has been in for repair too many times including 3 screens.
Really I'm disappointed and don't know what to buy. I'm losing confidence in Apple products.
The fanboys on here don’t like it when you say it (and trust me, I used to be one) but the fact is that since Steve died the quality of the product has died with him.
Yes, things weren’t always perfect when Steve was around, etc etc ... I know, but the one thing he (and Forstall, etc) had was perfectionism, wanting to create a product that they would be proud to buy themselves or recommend to their friends or family.
I don’t get the “premium” feel from any Apple product now. Even my Father in Law, who isn’t the most tech savvy user, feels that the quality is in major decline (he still uses and loves his 2010 Mac Pro and says it’s the best machine Apple have made, in his opinion of course).
Said it before, say it again; Cook is NOT a product guy.
