Hi everyone. Today I noticed a small black dot on the left bottom in landscape mode of my 5th generation Ipad 12.9 Pro. I have an appointment with the Apple Store tomorrow afternoon. Please see the picture. Does anyone have an idea what that black dot/smudge is? I have cleaned the screen with a soft damp cloth, but it will not go away.

Update: I took my 5th generation 12.9 IPAD Pro to the Apple Store today. The Genius identified another spot at the top left of the screen. The spot was white. The Genius gave me a brand new 5th generation 12.9 IPAD Pro as a replacement. My previous IPAD Pro was only 4 months old. I only did light gaming and occasionally watched TV shows on the IPAD. I'm not sure if this will be an issue with other's 5th Generation 12.9 Pros, but keep an eye on it.
