All iPads Apple replacements

Just you.

 

I've never had a problem with a replacement device. They are individually tested unlike "new" devices right off the production line. I actually prefer the replacement, as weird as that sounds.

 

Could just be unlucky. I remember when the 4S came out, I had 3 new in box replacements all within the first week for screen and vibrate problems. I gave up and just asked for a replacement, the white box one, and the phone was perfect. Lasted me 18 months until the lock button decided to die on me.

 

It's just you.

 

That's something only you and your psychologist can answer.

 

And I'm not telling!

 

It's probably because you're looking for defects.
"image retention, colour inconsistencies, backlight bleeds, backlight leaks" Really? You're probably going to always get a little back light bleeding on an iPad.

 

I don't think every one has a defect, but when I had an iPad 3, I exchanged mine twice to the apple store.

The first one I had was an open box Best Buy deal and it had a line of pixels that was dead or reversed colors, my first exchange had light bleed and a changing yellowish to pinkish hue across the screen, my final iPad 3 which I kept for 4 months before "sidegrading" to an iPad Mini was actually perfect. It had the best screen I've seen on an iPad and the battery didn't get as warm as the other two and lasted much longer too!

 

Aim posting from my refurb iPad 4 right now.
I got it today its like a brand new device.
And I saved a ton of money..
