iPad Pro 12.9 Screen Light Bleed

So does Square Trade need to request that you need to get it diagnosed at Apple or any repair shop as proof before they send you a check for the purchase price?

Also Square Trade is only avail on new products?

Hi glee 217, I found it.

Correct. Square Trade can be purchased only on new devices. The first time this happened, I backed up my device to iCloud, turned off activation lock, and shipped it off to Square Trade in my original box where their people tested it.

If they can repair, they’ll fix it (we both know this isn’t possible, and Apple doesn’t even repair them), so they cut a check for the full purchase price, less the deductible, I think it’s $99 or $$149, and that was that. I used that to purchase another new one.

I loved my first 12.9” iPad Pro! Fir me, it was virtually a laptop replacement (for what I do), a 256 gb model, but since I already had the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil, those wouldn’t work with the newly released 12.9” iPad Pro, so I stayed with that generation, but bought the 512 gb model instead. 

I regret that now because now I have the same extract problem. I won’t waste anymore money on Apple tablets.

I can say, I love my iPhone XS Max, and my 2006 MacBook Pro has had an exceptionally long life, and it still works like new, but it’s obsolete now.

I hope I have better luck with its replacement (the 2019 MacBook Pro i9 with 16 gb of ram and 1TB).

I’m really disappointed in Apple.

Good morning, and you are right, Myaka. Now, my daughter's 10-inch Samsung tablet it still running fine (and so is my ancient Motorola Xoom (yes, that's right, the 3G model) -- neither have ever had this issue, and they are OLD.

If Apple commands a premium price, and they certainly do, they SHOULD provide a superior product -- without these defects. All of my devices have been handled with extreme care and look like they are BRAND NEW!

Hello,

This is not caused by bad pixels. This is caused by there being an issue with the display’s backlight. I suggest being persistent with Apple.

...well this sort of latent defect is not "fine", but if even replacement units exhibit the same problem then it sounds like the odds of apple making it right are negligible...

Yes!!! My 12.9 iPad Pro (MQDD2LL/A) has developed this issue too. I searched for it and found this thread. I will report this issue to Apple.

Must be a hardware/manufacturing defect.

This photo I've showed to support at 11.17.19 Now there is two more bleed spots. 🤬
