I purchased an IPAD 2 about a week ago and noticed considerable "yellowing" aka light leakage on Saturday morning.
I made an appoint and took it in for service (I have several Apple devices so in general I was expecting good service) and they tested it and confirmed the problem. They offered to exchange but there were none in stock (which I was expecting), no big deal. Got a call later that day and I was told that it was there and I could pick it up at anytime.
Went in on Sunday morning and picked up my new unit, took it home and guess what! Realized more yellowing on the bottom right corner. Again, made an appointment and went in in the afternoon.
The "genius" came out of his hole and told me that he read my note and here was the deal--- they had already replaced my device once and as per "corporate policy" they could not do it again. So I could either live with the faulty device (as is) or receive a refund.
I told him that I was willing to exchange once more and if that was faulty as well I would be okay with a refund, he said that was not possible.
He had the audacity to tell me that this was a known issue and ALL IPAD 2 units have a certain level of "yellowing" and that most have accepted it as such....
My options... keep a faulty unit or get my money back (not counting the 4 trips I made to and from the store and the 2 weeks I had to wait)....
So here is my question.... 1.) is this a real "corporate policy", 2.) how arrogant can you be to think your device is a God's send and people should be "lucky" to have one in their hands, And... 3.) Did you just publicly admit that all IPAD 2 units are faulty to an extent?
