iPad Air screen defect?

No the tide isn't turning. On my side I'm stucked with a flawed iPad Air because refund had been denied to me, and I gave up on exchanges after the fifth.
I'm still in touch with an Apple sup who says he tries to find a 'solution ' to my problem.
Also my guess is most people figured the Air has a conception problem and that it won't be fixed until next releases. So they ended in giving up.

So I got my new replaced ipad air today and it's as good as my last one. Production week 52 now and can't spot any book spine nor yellow tint. And no dead pixel or dust from what I can see.
It says mine is a week 39. How is that even possible. That's from October. I got it from an apple store. It's a 16gb AT&T silver. I got it last week so weird. Maybe Apple doesn't sell as many cellular versions. Either way is it proven that all week 50s have no problems?

Find it really amusing that this thread is still going.
What's wrong with you guys..?!
PS; THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IPAD SCREENS,!
Btw; I don't lock myself in dark room when using my iPads!

There may be nothing wrong with yours but the thousands of posts about screens and the devices I've seen, purchased and rejected certainly had screen issues.
I don't got to be joking cause I have purchased 3 of them and all 3 have dust.
Im just curious as to why the cellular ones would have weak 39's. Does apply sell more wifi only versions? not sure if week 39 is even that old. smh
Yes I thought same thing. It's probably hard to find any new week ones cause of that.
I find it really amusing that you keep coming back into it. You've posted at least 3 times already, maybe more. Same post every time.
What does it bother you if some people are having problems?
I don't lock myself in dark rooms, but I do use it under dim lighting conditions.
There are objectively, unequivocally, screen problems. And a personality problem here too.
There is nothing objective in most of the problems reported here.
Quite on the contrary, most of them are just subjective impressions ...
Keep looking at it: you'll end up finding a defect.
You are a very good example of what I'm saying since my first post in this thread
Max(IT) is a professional agitator. Why can't he just accept that people have real quality control problems with their iPad Airs? He has a problem that they have a problem.
The ignore list helps with this. You still see when he's quoted, but for the most part it makes reading nicer.
Not really. I can objectively measure the colors being out out by the screen, and I can OBJECTIVELY show you a difference.
There is subjectivity in how one reacts to the problems.
This is the point.
There isn't such a thing like a perfectly even LCD panel, especially in this category of price.
What I'm seeing in most of the cases here is a display absolutely within reasonable tolerances.
I saw a couple of very annoying defective display as well, but most of the cases are made by picky customer expecting more than what is reasonable to expect.
Um, it is perfectly reasonable to expect a screen without noticeable unevenness in color tone, ESPECIALLY in this price bracket.
The iPad is in the higher end of the spectrum when it comes to tablet cost.
If I got a Nexus 7 for $100 with an uneven screen, I would expect that. When it is coming on my $800 ipad, that was marketed with a "Retina Display," it is unacceptable.
The funny thing is, I had a Nexus 7, and I also have a Kindle Fire HD ($120). None of them have this yellow tint or book spine problem. If I hold my ipad up to my 2009 17'' Macbook Pro, it is so much more yellow it is astonishing.
If you want Apple to be complacent about this problem, then more power to you. Let this company slide into the sewage of companies out there that produce crap.
Sorry, I don't want Apple to turn into the Chrysler of computers.
Again, it is perfectly reasonable to expect a screen with an even tint. I've never even seen this problem until Apple's retina displays came out.
And your defending Apple is pretty ridiculous if you are doing it as a fanboy. The problem lies in the upstream component supplier, which is LG, Sharp or Samsung.
And again, if you don't have the problem, or don't care about it, then go about living your life. I don't understand the point of coming in a thread that people use to discuss the problems that they are having, and antagonizing them by telling them it doesn't exist.
Do you also go onto healthcare forums and also tell cancer patients that they don't have cancer because you don't have it, and that they aren't being reasonable trying to find help?
