All iPads Has anyone had a 10.5” Air without the white spot issue?

Never a problem with my 10.5

 

[mr_jomo]

Yes, no issues

 

[BootLoxes]

Preordered my Air 3 and use it daily at work. No stutters, no white spots. Literally perfect

I think the air 3 was Apple just clearing out the 10.5 screens they had from the 10.5 pros.. I don’t think we will see the air updated again but who knows.

The iPad Air and 10.5” iPad Pro displays aren’t exactly the same, so that theory doesn’t hold up. The thin and relatively large form factor probably allows for the display getting squeezed just enough to cause the damage, though.

Hmm, wonder if these issues aren’t as widespread as originally thought?

There' no way to tell - forum inputs are not a good indicator as it's a small sampling and you'll hear more about problems here.

My 2.5 yr old 10.5" Pro is spot free. I use it daily (case-free) for min 3 hrs per day.

No problems with my Air so far but have had it for only 5 months

 

[LostAggie]

This 3rd replacement is okay so far. But only had maybe 1 month.

I've had an iPad Mini 4 for over three years and no spots or stuttering. Maybe the mini isn't effected?

Got my iPad Air 3 last April when it released. So exactly a year.

Nothing yet fingers crossed.

same here.

This is true of every issue people report on these forums really.

 

[Gibson88]

Well I’ve just went ahead and ordered a current gen Air.

Hoping it’s going to be fine. It’s weird how some people are on their 3rd, 4th iPad and others haven’t had a single issue.

I have had no issues - had mine a few months. Grandson has had his since last summer - no problems with it either.

I even dropped a remote control on the back of my 10.5 Pro, which caused a dent, and I still have no spots on the display.

I don’t think that anyone has ever claimed that it is. This issue is unique to the 10.5” models: the 2017 Pro and the 2019 Air 3.

If it was really that widespread you’d be hearing about it from mainstream sources. Any issue you only hear about on forums like this is probably not as widespread or not as severe as you may be led to believe. We’re not a representative or sufficiently large sample of users to base conclusions on.

Have the problem with my 10.5 purchased in 2017, anyone managed to persuade Apple to repair one outside of warranty.

I took mine into Apple in February to have a non working Smart Keyboard looked at and they replaced it. Asked for any other problems so I pointed out the white spot and they gave me a new iPad as well. Is the UK though so I think different rules apply.

 

[Andrewjh009]

Was the iPad replaced with the same model Cepenpark? I’m based in the uk also.

It was. Smart Keyboard and iPad Pro 10.5 from 2017, new iPad Pro 10.5 manufacture date Nov 2019, so very pleased.
