Bright spot on the display iPad Pro 10.5

The commonality of this particular complaint, in context of bright spots appearing on the screen, appears to be with the iPad Pro 10.5. This is not to say that the problem of itself is common, merely that the complaint appears to be common to the Pro 10.5 models.

In front of me is one such example - that does exhibit this issue, clearly visible upon a contiguous bright background (such as this community page). Next to it is an identical iPad model (but a younger device) that as yet does not exhibit noticeable bright patches.

Of complaints that have appeared within this community forum, the issue seems to focus upon bright patches (of varying intensity between affected devices) typically occurring in a region 1-2” above the Home button (as viewed with the iPad in the “Portrait” orientation - with the Home button at the bottom of the screen).

In context of physical construction, the iPad Pro 10.5 differed from other iPad models in that its main logic board runs along the central spine of the device - flanked by two equal sized Li-Ion batteries (a physical layout now inherited by the iPad Air 3). By contrast, most (if not all) preceding iPad models have their main logic board positioned along the right-hand side of the iPad, with a much larger battery/batteries occupying the majority of the remaining chassis.

The bright patches appearing on the iPad Pro 10.5 screen, where apparent, directly correlate to an area of the underlying logic board that incorporates the electrical connectors for the display - and the touchscreen controller.

Anecdotal comments (from reports appearing within this Support Community) suggest that when “inspected” by technicians, displays exhibiting this phenomena are generally considered to be fault-free - until such time as an inspection relates to a possible trade-in, at which point an affected screen has reportedly been described as having been damaged or defective, significantly reducing or eliminating any residual trade-in value.

The potential issue and its cause have never been publicly acknowledged by Apple.

I hope this is in some way helpful to you - if only in confirming what is known about this issue.

You cannot ask people to just come here and answer your question about whether your particular Apple product issue is happening to other Apple product users and asking them to post here about a similar issue, to tallying up some sort of Apple product using consensus poll numbers.

This is considered polling users and polling other users here about any type Apple product issues and encoragung them to post is not allowed in these Apple supplied user to user product technical support communities per the Community User Terms of Use Agreement we all agree to and abide by when signing up and using these Apple user to user technical support communities.

So, you cannot ask other users to post here to post if they have the same Apple product issues as you.

These are NOT what these user to user technical support communities are for.

We are all just volunteer users here and our job here is to help our fellow users with any Apple product issues they maybe having.

Not to ask users to come here a create a tally of all users having a certain problem/s with specific Apple products.

That stated.

Your iPad screen issue is not a common problem.

My family owns 7 iPads of different years and models and none have exhibited this display bright spot issue.

I suppose this can happen, but I have never experienced this in all of the years of purchasing iPads.

This can happen to any mobile touch screen device from any mobile device manufacturer. Not just Apple.

This is probably a manufacturing defect and chances are low that you will get another, replacement iPad that is goung to exhibit this exact same issue, again.

This is why I encourage all Apple product purchasers to always purchase extended AppleCare+ for their expensive Apple products to guard against and defects in manufacturing or any malfunctions or protections against user damage.

Best of Luck on the replacement iPad Pro!

I just explained what is and what is not allowed here.

You can post here any time and as freely as you like, but your post questions/queries are only limited to asking fof help abkut technical questions about any specific Apple products.

You, also, cannot sign up here to just generally rant and complain about Apple products here, either.
