actually, i am living in Japan and in my city, only 1 apple store! as for the Japanese, the customers is not complaining about the bleeding issue (asked many people who bought ipad 2 and they did not even recognize the error, googled in Japanese and there is not so many article about the issue); so, i think i am the only one who replaced ipad because of that problem! considering if i should go to replace again after several months :|
