Depending on how you exposed the shot, that bleed might be barely visible at all.
ALL LCD panels have light bleed. The nano-structure "shutter" that blocks the light on a black pixel is never perfect and will always leak a little light. It's gotten a lot better; compared iPad 2 and 3/4 for example.
Right now the only display with zero light bleed is OLED, which is not yet ready for retina resolutions.
Your iPad is fine; stop fretting and enjoy it.
can you take the picture straight up and down in-line with the screen? taking at an angle is very difficult to tell what is light bleed and what is angle tint
here are two examples of light bleed that i have experienced on iPads, of which i found to be unacceptable
Left - iPad Mini
Right - iPad 3
i don't have a picture of the iPad 4 i had, but it was so bad you could actually see the backlight LED bulbs
yeah that's a better angle.
that amount of light bleed in unacceptable to me. return it for a brand new one, don't let them give you a brown box replacement.
since it's an iPad 4 i presume you purchased it within the holiday return period, so you shouldn't have any problems
Looks like a 30 pin charger ....iPad 4 ?
I had a closer look and I have a little bit of light bleed. Bottom right corner. Hardly noticeable though. Doesn't bother me.

I had to pick it up a RadioShack. The guy said exchanges aren't a problem but if I get another one and he won't exchange would I have to call apple?
Yes. Radio Shack has their own return/exchange policies. Their terms have nothing to do with those of Apple. The warranty is the same as the warranty is through Apple either way. These aren't perfect products. They're really the epitome of mass market, and they are priced that way.
Could radioshack refuse my exchange over lightbleed if they do not think it is bad enough?
