Hi
I think there are some other posts a bit like this but thought share what we are getting as not quite the same.
Our iPad Air 2 has suddenly gone a bit strange. The colours are off and the edge has a sort of haze around it. You also can partially see through any given app and see icons behind it (around the edges at least).
On a TV or CRT monitor this would be some sort of screen burn I guess but doesn't apply to LCD screens does it? Plus what is "burnt" doesn't stay the same.
We tried the Accessibility settings at first but all were OK (no invert etc.). The device does have a crack in the bottom right of the screen (last photo shows it) but that has been there at least 3 years. We don't know when/how it happened exactly but definitely not new!
I have done a full reset of the device and switched it to a different Apple ID and disallowed any cloud or backup recovery so it is "out of the box" but the problem persists. Even during the reset the "ghost" background was there along with the apple logo.
Also tried slapping it on the back a few times but no joy!
I notice this morning that it seems to be a bit better but after a few minutes of use the haze starts to creep in from the edges. Other posts mentioned battery swelling, could it be that the battery swells more as it warms up once iPad is on?
After googling and such yesterday followed by full reset, concluded this was probably a hardware issue so have ordered the new Air 10.5. It is a sad fact but this device gets more attention than any other in the house! It is not far off being a "pet".
I would like to rescue this one but only if the cost of doing so is low!
Thanks for any help anyone can suggest!
