If you recently got a non launch day model, please look with the flashlight on before you say “mine doesn’t have it” I don’t wanna go through AppleCare and get a new unit with the same “defect”.
Launch day 14" and verified up close with flash light that mine does not have this issue. I realize you requested non-launch day models but wanted to chime in as I think this is a defect since mine does not have it.
What are we looking at here? Lots of dust/lint particles on the screen... Is that it?
Can you explain a bit more about your defect, so we can see what you see?
