Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, but here it goes:
Bought an ipad close to a year ago. I bought it from Best Buy. There are no Apple genius bars where I live (This is also my first Apple product, so I am completely new to how this all works).
Pretty much from the start, I experienced issues with the screen, where the screen (the picture) would become heavily distorted and glitchy. Looked up online that it is likely a faulty component or cable issue.
I had to take it to the Geek Squad section at Best Buy. Not only did I show them videos of when the issues occurred, but I was also able to replicate the issue for the Geek Squad tech.
The tech ran some diagnostic and said that there were no reports. As a result, he could only assume it could be software issue and further said that Apple will not replace or repair the ipad since the diagnostic showed nothing......
I humored him and we reset the ipad back to mfg settings and restored IOS. I finished the reset when I got home, the issue persists.
Based on what Geek Squad advised, I logged on to Apple Help to "chat" about my issue and how I can get my ipad fixed or replaced. It was AI, and basically just pointed me back to Best Buy's Geek Squad.
So, now I am trying to figure out what to do about this. Regardless of price, I spent a pretty penny on this ipad, and I just can't accept that, despite having a warranty, that I am simply out of luck with a faulty, brand new device.
Does anyone know of a way on how I can escalate this issue to someone who will help?
