When I get a device I like to hold on to the original if possible. Swapping them out just seems wasteful and impersonal. Once its mine I like it to stay mine. That and most of my visits to the "Genius Bar" have resulted in me leaving there muttering something under my breath about how they should change their name. But I probably will have to take it back to Apple seeing as the update and reset all just occurred this morning.
I understand the bond. But given what you described, you might be better served bonding with a replacement iPad!
Maybe he's thinking he's gonna get a used one... Crackbot they should give you a brand new one.
Given that iPad Air 2 is very new, it's not likely he'll be given a refurb unit. BUT........per the warranty we all are bound to when we purchase an iDevice, replacements can be new or refurbished. But to be honest, refurbished, while not having the greatest connotation, are actually in many ways better than a unit which just rolled off the assembly line. Refurbs undergo screen replacements, internal component replacement and testing to a level far higher than a new unit.
