Well, there’s always the $5600 Pro Display XDR with Nano Glass and the $900 Pro Stand to go with it. 🤪

As someone who had horrible luck with the ones from Best Buy a couple of months ago (dead pixels, dark spots on the screen, and dents out of the box, etc.), I will say it’s good thing you have three on the way, especially if you happen to receive the one from Apple first and it turns out to be defective. Then you’ll be glad you put yourself through all this “trouble” with Best Buy, as you get two more chances, which should be enough, aside from my experience (being an optimist for you here 😂). And when one of the three turns out to be a keeper, it’ll be all worth in the end, even if you have to go through just a bit more hassle of having to return the other two. 😂
With the price you’re paying, it needs to be no less than pristine out of the box. It’s a shame Apple’s QC isn’t exactly something to admire these days lol.
I guess I’ve been very lucky. I’ve never had any QC issues with any Apple product I’ve owned, including iPads, iPhones or MacBook Airs. Thank goodness!
My first thought is that’s wild, but after seeing snippets of the book, I could understand why people would be interested in it.
Neither Have I! I mean, they got issues after I opened them (lol). May or may not have caused those myself :/
Me neither up until these latest iPad Pros, and I’ve purchased a bunch of Apple products in the last 10 years or so, including three previous iPads. There is another thread on this forum somewhere discussing QC issues with these iPads Pros though, so I certainly wasn’t alone lol.
One of the things that happens in tech forums like Macrumors is that we're only getting the perspective from a slice of users and many people come here to post about issues only. It can make one think there is a greater percentage of issues with the products than there actually are. I mean, we don't really know in the big picture; we can only judge based on our own experiences and those we read about.
I dont event have proper income since I'm new graduate so please don't make me think about new Apple products. This is enough for all of us 😂. But you know as soon as I have some money I'm gonna spend on Apple.🤣🤣
Do you play with normal games or games with arcade ? Arcade is kind of expensive for us because of currency. But I do tend to buy and try it so does it worth? I can't stop myself spending money on Apple.🤣
please don't jinx it by saying that!! 🙏 🤞 I do have that luck also but thinking about Apple's perfectionism it should be really rare thing to happen. (I HOPE I DIDNT JINX MYSELF)
I play non-Arcade games with it. I also use it to play games on Apple TV and on my PC laptop (an ASUS Zephyrus G14).
I have PS4 controller so I might give it a shot. Can you suggest some good games ?👀
Surely one of them will be pristine! One of them have to be. Or I give up. I can’t go through this again. 😂
I just use my Xbox Controller to play Infinite Flight, which is a Flight Sim on the iPad. It’s pretty fun. And that 120hz.
There's a category in the Games section of those that work with controllers, and some are free. Sky: Children of the Light is free and although it has IAP, you don't need it to play. I also like Journey and Gris. But I find there are other games that also work with controllers even though it's not in that section, like Stardew Valley, Alto's Odyssey (which also works on Apple TV). I'm sure there's a bunch of other good ones that might work too.
Am I the only person with the Magic Keyboard that turns off the Morphing Cursor? I find it distracting lol.
I ordered my iPad 8th generation on 9/16 and got it on 9/21 via UPS all the way from China. For the 1st time ever I did a pre order of an Apple Product. I’d actually ordered a 7th generation iPad but since it hardn’t been billed I cancelled the order and ordered the 8th generation. I use it like a laptop mainly for internet surfing=g and stuff. I did get the 128 GB model
I went through Apple(my reason was financial) I work for an Apple Vendor and we get a discount on hardware
Anyone have any status changes from processing over the weekend in usa? Ordered sept 1, delivery window is sept 24th to oct1 still on processing, apple says it will ship at latest on sept 29 
Do you mean that it changes shape? That's a setting you can disable under Accessibility > Pointer Control > Pointer Animation. I like it so I keep it on. I like some of the other settings in there too to change the color, outline and size.
Yeah, I keep mine off. I tried it once and it was nice, but not every app and website had it. So I turned it off for the Continuity.
I’m assuming you’re referring to this thread?
2020 iPad Pro defects/bad QC?
Hey guys, I got a 2020 iPad Pro 11" last week and noticed the space grey aluminum finish was chipping off the front in not one, but two corners out of the box. The first one didn't bother me that much and I may have let it slide, but the second one is particularly noticeable especially under...

When you buy the iPad do you have to buy apple care straight away or do you have a time frame to add it on?
You have 60 days to buy it according to Apple's website, but there's been other news about having up to a year to add it. The difference is after the 60-day point, you have to take it to a store to be inspected. If there's any damage, it has to be fixed (so out of pocket expense for you) before AC+ can be added.

Quality control on the iPads and iPhones and Watches is FOR SURE better then on the MacBook Pros. You must remember that the MacBook Pro has thousands of parts vs the hundreds of parts for these devices. I absolutely am still made at Apple as I had 4 replacement MacBook Pros, each had their own defect. Apple's QC with MacBook Pros is bad, everything else is fine with me.
