I wish I had an Apple Store within 200 miles. I say this because sending it in for repair has been nothing short of a nightmare continuing.
First, I enclosed a note explaining what I have been experiencing. They received it in the morning, and 6 hours later updated the repair order with the words "Unable to duplicate issue. Returning to owner".
Secondly, the package was supposed to have been shipping back to me on the 22nd. It is now the 24th. FedEx never received the shipment, and Apple has no clue where the package is.
So, when and IF I ever get the iPad2 back in my hands, we will know if the issue remains.
Extremely discouraged right now.
UPDATE: Apple/Fed Ex is still searching for the package. The additional bad news is that my iPad2 should have been handed over to the "safety department" for investigation and repair. It was not. So, now they are saying that if/when I receive the iPad2, I have to call in and speak to a "Senior Adviser" to make arrangements to SEND IT BACK IN yet again.
A number of things were said in this latest conversation but the one that stands out is that if I could haven taken it in to an Apple Store Genius Bar and they could have felt how hot it gets, it would have been swapped out on the spot.
Unbelievable first repair experience with Apple. Extremely disappointed.
