iPad New iPad Air & Factory Sticker

[radar2000]

Purchased a brand new sealed in a box iPad Air on Black Friday at Staples.

When I got home and opened the box, I noticed that when I pealed off the clear seal there was what appears to be the left over of a round greenish/blue sticker at the bottom near the right side of the speaker.

Has anyone encountered this before? Is this a potential factory refurb? Should I return this iPad?

Any advice, suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers!

As Freud said, sometimes a sticker is just a sticker...

If it's all good just keep it and enjoy it and congrats on your new iPad.

Actually Apple doesn't allow stickers on their products.

Maybe they use the sticker inside the factory to denote what kind of iPad it is or something for sorting.

I bought one on Launch Day and the outside of the Apple Box (underneath the plastic) was dirty and the inside of the box was dirty. There was also a small scratch on the back of the Ipad. Took it back, exchanged it for another one only to find a stupid dead pixel. Took that one back, and bought one on Black Friday which was flawless.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I still haven't removed the plastic yet and the sticker is still there.

I'm going to take a pic of the sticker and will post it later.

...Thinking that I'm going to get this exchanged.

Cheers!
