Last year's iPads are plagued by a curious problem, some users noticed a bright spot on the display

Apple appears to be dealing with yet another hardware issue involving iPads. After this year's very fragile and easily bendable iPad Pros, more and more examples of last year's iPad Pros suffering from the same display problem are appearing on the web.

In recent weeks, users have pointed out that a significant number of iPad Pros from last year suffer from a specific defect in the display panel. On affected devices, a light spot begins to appear on the display, roughly a few centimeters above the Home Button. It is noticeably brighter than the surrounding parts of the display and makes life uncomfortable for many users.

The very first mentions of this problem date back to April, since then other problematic devices have appeared sporadically, with the highest frequency of new cases coming from the last few weeks.

At first glance, it looks as if there is a point increase in the brightness of the image in that particular place. A bright spot is visible almost immediately, especially when displaying a light color. Affected users whose iPad Pro was under warranty had their devices repaired. So if you have a model from last year and something similar is happening to you, a complaint should solve everything.

It is not yet clear whether we can expect similar problems with the new iPad Pros. After all, they have been on the market for about three months. If they too have some specific display defect, it will start appearing a little later. But that doesn't change the fact that this is yet another problem with Apple's hardware lately. That is, about something that was not so common before. There are quite a few missteps in recent months...

That's how it affected me too.

I have the same stain on my macbook from 2013. When I googled the problem, the most common answer was moisture.

how many iPads did it appear on, two or three?

So I have the same problem. And I have 3 points there. And unfortunately bought for a company, so a one-year warranty.
