iPad Pro 10.5inch Faint White Spot Above Home Button

Yes that is very sad and in my point of view a big mistake from apple.

I'll use now all my apple products that i got but i am not able to buy me new stuff anymore so long they got so bad quality. The Apple Watch 4 was the last product i've buyed. It can't be that a product like iPad shows a defect after the warranty ends. I am very disappointed and if Steve could see this, he would make trouble at apple.

In the middle 80's till middle 90's apple did some bad mistakes that cost's lot of customers. I hope they don't do the same now. So Apple make it right !

A word of advice for your AW4, buy a protective case! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HKH3NTQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF 8&psc=1

I did somethng minor to my AW3 that cracked the glass face and rendered it unusable. Because the heart rate monitor wasn’t working very well for me, I didn’t replace it until the AW4 came out. I’ve had very good luck with the AW4, but am not taking chances with cracking another screen, plus I now (reluctantly) have AppleCare for it.

Hi,

i have the same problem, l purchased my IPad Pro 10.5 through a Telstra plan, I returned my iPad through Telstra and after them sending the IPad to an Apple agent they replaced it with a new one, the consumer laws here in Australia gives us further protection than Apples warranty.

But guess what after six months my replacement iPad Pro now has the same issue, a small white Spot about an inch out from the home button, our laws here also states that after receiving the replacement iPad you are also entitled to a further 12 months warranty, so I’m going through the same process again, I believe it is a design problem also I found by pressing on the home button edge side only, close to the edge I get a white pressure spot that disappears after you take your finger off, tested the other three edges of the screen and no problem, it appears there it a fault in design on that side of the screen, I do agree Apple are getting a bad name especially when they don’t act ethically on genuine hardware issues, given Apple reputation from the past especially when the original founder was alive, he had a strict religious reputation of giving nothing but the best, this is being destroyed now by Apples representatives response to genuine issues that they need to step up to the plate and do the right thing , it’s a pity as the competition has gained ground in their technology and are equal if not more advanced with quality and reliability of their products, so if Apple doesn’t do the right thing by it loyal supporters it might find them leaving in droves to it’s competition.

I have the same problem and unfortunately it happened two months after the warranty had ended. Disappointing!

Some Screens:

Same issue here. Bought 29th August 2017 and have bright spots close to the home button...

If you can show evidence that it is a known fault (same issue as in the USA) then you should take the machine back to the service centre. Ideally you need more than one example.

Got exactly the same issue. The white sport is above the home button. The response I got from apple is that's an accidental damage 😟

Hi, i just got the result of their “investigation” worth 1000 pesos. Pressure damage it is, but why am I not surprised?! haha. Same issue Ipad pro 12 inches white spot above home button.

Mine were diagnosed at the apple store in Oklahoma City. The spot on mine seems to be growing!

Yes power mac :)
