I posted this on another thread and I find it relevant to be here as well:

Or

3. They have a hard time some believing some one could get 4 different bad iPads and Apple have such a good reputation for a premium product (especially when they've never experienced that bad of quality control unless they bought from some one who had a bad reputation or no reputation at all). If Apple is really that bad, they'd not have such a good reputation.
 
Back on the market as refurbs...please enlighten us as to how exactly that equates wasting?

"Oh my screen is a bit warmer than my Ipad 2"

I understand in extreme cases there is the odd discoloured one but I bet most Ipad 3's are warmer and that's just how the retina is but some people maybe sit and read these boards and return them in hope of a cool screen model. :eek:

Oh and can I add something to this thread I actually read these forums about a problem with Iphone 4 think it was signal drops or something silly at the time but if it was it went away with my next IOS update and I forgot about it..

I went in and the guy looked at it and said no fault, offcourse the fault wasn't really showing in the store as it only did it now and again so I never even got an appointment at the genius bar

I felt a bit silly taking it back. Give it a few months and the cooler/warm screen debate will be old. Last year I ended up having to put my Ipad 2 up full brightness in a dark room to spot screen bleed. Infact it maybe bad a tiny bit but in general use I never noticed it and enjoyed the Ipad 2 for one year.

But if you look for every fault out there fair enough. Only the signal issue with the Iphone 4 got well published the screen bleed topics vanished after the Ipad 2 launch.
 
I wonder why in every discussion on this topic people refuse to acknowledge the difference between returning an iPad for an actual problem and returning it for a perceived one? No one disputes that a defective iPad should be returned. The problem is that in some of these cases it's not that iPad that's defective.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

I just don't think Apple would produce thousands of rubbish Ipad's that don't work. I fully think it's maybe the odd yellow one and people start comparing Ipad's to the previous model and assume as it has a warmer screen it has a fault. I'm sure Apple has a good customer satisfaction rate and returns are in the minority.

I mean I just couldn't do without my Ipad would be sad seeing it returned. :(
