iPad 2 Light Leak - No Big Deal

Now that half a million people have iPad 2's in their hands (500,000 is a guess, but I'm sure its very close) reports and videos are coming in about a light leak. This is light coming in around the edges of the iPad 2 display that gives it a yellow color when the background is black. So is this the new Antenna Gate? Remember all the articles about the iPhone 4 losing reception if you held it "wrong". It eventually lead to Apple giving away free bumpers. Time will tell, but I don't think so and even if it is it doesn't really matter? It's hard to tell how many iPad 2's this is affecting. Not every iPad is going to be put together perfectly. Apple is usually pretty good about giving a replacement model for any real issues. I also tend to buy that as the adhesive continues to bond any light leaking in might be stopped. The iPad 2 is essentially sold out and there are millions worldwide that want one whether or not there is a minor light leak. Antenna Gate didn't hurt iPhone 4 sales. The fact that Consumer Reports trashed the iPhone 4 didn't hurt sales. I'm sure this won't diminish iPad 2 sales in the least. While I can confirm my own iPad 2 has a few light leaks, I didn't notice them until I read about it and looked for them. It doesn't bother me at all, but if enough people complain maybe I'll score something else free from Apple!
