I was on a really bright app on my iPad Air 3 today and I noticed what looked like a really bright spot. Is this dead pixels? A defect. It’s hard to notice so I’m wondering if its been there since I got it or if it just developed. Regardless it’s not annoying enough to look to get it replaced. Was just curious what you guys think

And now I can’t find it... weird

So a brighter spot on the screen depending where it is could by your battery pressing up on the display. There are other things as well as liquid or your frame is bent

I got my Air 3 a couple weeks ago and noticed a small bright white spot that’s visible on white background. Might pursue an exchange...not sure. My concern would it be getting worse over time.
