I've got this on my first gen iPad Pro 12.9". Unfortunately mine started doing this not long after the first year warranty stopped. Disappointing to see this in a recurring defect.
Really makes me wonder since I’m in the return period if I should return mine and get a 2018 instead, but honestly I feel that could do the same thing. I’d hate to have to rebuy accessories.Yeah but what can Apple do in this case? Seems like a design flaw. If they replace these devices, in 1 year they'll have the bright spot again.
Refunds anyone? Getting a new iPad Pro?
How are you checking the health? Paid app or no?Glad im not alone with this. Also my batt health is down to 74%. 10.5 bought when released so almost 1,5 years old.

Finally I can say: Thanks EU! Got mine covered just after the 1 year Apple warranty ended under the mandatory 2 year EU consumer protection law. Apple Store Genius admitted it was a fault not caused by me, got a new one. Picked it up a few days after and new one isn't showing any signs of this.
But: Apple needs to do something, it's obviously NOT the users fault...
Damn, seriously? I was thinking of returning the 10.5 because I just got it and I have until January to return it, but where is there to go? The 2018 Pros are more expensive and could get this problem (and I always like waiting for the second iteration of a new design), the 2017 12.9 also has this problem even though it isn’t as widely reported, and now the 2016 9.7 does too? Very disappointing. Especially because the 10.5 is the perfect compromise of screen size and portability! Only the 2018 11” matches this but who knows if this will have the same problem in a year?
You have until March to sort it out... probably... maybe... then again...Thank goodness the UK are in the EU......oh.
Thing is I’m not sure where else to go so I keep coming back to Apple. I can’t stand curved screens so no Samsung (tried a Note 9 and couldn’t even get a damn screen protector on there), I’ll never trust LG again after the G4 and Nexus 5X, Pixels are just dull and too expensive plus Google is an unreliable brand now (plus I had an original XL and I just ended up hating it after a few months, still need to sell that thing...), what else is there really?I totally agree, I love the 'IDEA' of the new iPads and had my pocket book convinced that it was going to be purchased soon. It looks so good, and has some great technology.
I used to be an early adopter, (since the inception of Palm phones) purchasing something new each year, I love the idea of bleeding edge tech. Sadly I have not purchased anything new since the iPhone 7 Plus, as I have seen a sharp decline in quality with new items. I am losing my patience and faith with every passing year when it comes to quality.
What do you use to see your battery health on iPad?Glad im not alone with this. Also my batt health is down to 74%. 10.5 bought when released so almost 1,5 years old.
Thanks.You can do it on a Mac with Coconutbattery. You only have to connect the iPad to the Mac.
No, you need to buy something that is not defectiveMan, you need AppleCare as a necessity these days.
