New iPad Air - Oleophobic Coating Not Working? I just bought a brand new 5th gen iPad Air straight from Apple. After using it for about a week, the screen is all smudged and has weird swirlies in it. Using a soft microfiber cloth to wipe it does nothing. I have other a number of other iDevices, including 3 iPads, and none of them has anything like this - simply wiping with a soft microfiber cloth usually cleans the screen nicely! Has anyone else seen an issue where the oleophobic coating doesn't seem to be effective?

Ipad pro 11 inch has a black smudge spot on the screen Hey i have recently bought a ipad pro 11 inch about 3 months back. A week ago i noticed a black smudge spot on the screen. It is only visible when the screen is turned off or with dark images. I tried wiping with microfiber cloth but it didn't go away and the spot seems to collect more fingerprint than the rest. Does ipad pro has some kind of special coating ? But 3 months is too little time for it to rub off

Wipe the display with a dry lint free cloth. Nothing else.
