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.

and why are you so sure about that? do you work for Apple?
I'm sure you've asked me this before and the answer hasn't changed. I DON'T WORK FOR APPLE. But when we purchase an iPad or iPhone, replacements per the warranty, can be new or refurbished. The fact that iPad Air 2 is so new, it's just my guess that it wouldn't likely be a refurbished unit at this point. Again, it's my guess.

Same to you, but only is gonna be a happy year for me if Apple gives me an ipad air 2 new with no issues....3 pops in the morning geez.
Let's hope that your entire hope for the year doesn't rest on this one issue. Let's hope your year brings you some happiness, success, but more importantly, abundant health. For health is wealth and without it, nothing else matters.

Thanks for your best wishes but we are talking business here, Apple should provide solutions here.
No but good starts are better...and Apple is not charity at least not for me...i paid a lot for this device.

Jan 1, 2015 7:10 AMby RobS10,Huge multinational companies like Apple are in business to do one thing - make as much money as possible - not give it away for something they see as petty, like doing the right thing to make you happy if they don't have to. The laws in Mexico protecting consumers are weaker than those in the U.S. and Apple isn't going to go out of their way to lose money. The same thing applies to the Tax Code here in the U.S.. They aren't going to part with one dime more in Corporate Taxes if they can use a loophole and incorporate in Ireland and pay millions less. They play the laws in every country, some of which they probably helped write, like a seasoned concert violinist. Sorry they aren't making things right for you as they should, but Apple is just doing what they do.

Jan 1, 2015 3:39 PMby RobS10,I wouldn't expect Samsung, Microsoft, HP, etc. to treat you any better than the law allows either. Sometimes the seller does better, like Costco, but don't know what their policies are in Mexico. Here, iPads bought at Costco have a 90 Day no hassle return policy, whereas Apple has 15 day.
