My ipad air three has white spot just above the home button like this below file. Is there anyone who has some experience like this one?

iPad Pro 12.9 UK Feb 2018
Had a HUGE amount of usage
Three white spots above home button , and also a “streak” much higher up ( another bright white bit is a reflection )
As per usual only visible against white background. Caused by attachment points I’ve read on fixit . No acknowledgement of problem but seems like non laminated iPad is only safe option . Or do new iPad Pro’s not have this issue ? I just want a big screen and gd speakers so a 12.9 pro is enticing but I’m scared of this happening again
I’ve read of people using a suction cup to pull the screen up and it fixing the problem...

I have the exact same white spot on my Air 3. How old is yours to be getting it fixed by apple?

The big dipper is calling. It wants its stars back.
 
Got it on my iPad Pro 10.5. I preordered a blue Galaxy tab s7+ and will see if Samsung accepts my iPad for $300 trade in. Can’t believe Apple let this iPad issue occur on multiple devices.
 
Service center accept it as factory deafault and they will send me new air 3, waiting time 3_4wk .
You were within warranty time? That’s the white spot many Air 3s and 10.5 IPad Pros encounter. It develops over a year timeframe.
