Hi all!
A few days ago I noticed that my 4 month old iPad 8th Gen suffered small backlight bleed in the top right hand corner. The iPad had been babied from unboxing and was immediately thrown into a case (figuratively) and had a screen protector slapped on and has not been dropped.
Knowing the nature of how LCD screens work I know these things happen, however I notice it seems to be a common "screen lottery" issue with the iPad and iPad Air as they use LCD screens. Today, I had that very iPad swapped by Apple, who offered great customer service, but having checked the new iPad for the issue...it seems to be even worse (in my eyes) than previous.
What would you do at this stage? Is it worth returning it for another one or is it something that I should live with? I know backlight bleed gets progressively worse as I have seen this happen with IPS displays on laptops I used to have.
Thanks in advance!
