Pink line in the corner screen of ipad air M2

Hi! I’d like to ask for help because I suddenly noticed this pink line in the left corner of my ipad screen when I used it in a dim room and high brightness. It’s also noticeable only with black background but u can’t see it when there are other colors present in the screen. May I ask what caused this? I don’t remember instances wherein I dropped it nor have it pressed onto hard objects because I usually carry it inside my ipad bag, separate from my personal bag. I’d also like to ask if I can have it repaired for free in authorized apple stores like internationally (i can’t expose where I am for privacy purposes) because the warranty still expires on august. Thank you very much! 💛💛

Your iPad Air M2 has a conventional LCD screen that is edge-lit with a backlight diffuser. In a dark room, with a blank screen, a brightened edge as you illustrate is characteristic of this screen technology.


If you have any concerns, you would be well advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad. If a fault is identified, you'll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:

Without a link to precisely what you have read in your research, it is difficult to offer qualified comment. The type of issue to which I think you may refer is characterised by a clear, sharply defined, line of pixels visible at all times regardless of ambient lighting conditions. By contrast, your photo shows a diffuse glow along the edge of the screen, only visible in low light conditions, this being a characteristic of the screen technology used by your iPad Air.


To reiterate, if you have any concerns whatsoever, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will assess your iPad screen for defects. If an issue is identified, you'll be in the best place to explore your available options:
