Bubbles appear on iPad screen

First of all As You may see I did apply a matt screen protector, amd trought the process of the first installation I tried to press out the air bubbles. Now there might be a chance that I pressed a little harder than usual to force the air out, but not too hard to actually cause any damage. Second of all, last night I removed the screen protector, because I started noticing these bubbles. I thought the same thing that the screen protector might causing thoae bubbles, but when I removed the protector, and I tested out by pressing the screen the same thing was there. For the ipads safety I reapplied it and we are courrently here today, with the same issue, even when theres no bubbles under that part of the screen protector. I called apple support to ask this issue, and a polite woman said the same things “try to remove the air bubbles”.

cases that might cause the screen this typenof problem:

1.) I pressed slightly hard when applying the screen protector

2.) Faulty screen

in my opinion for this price there shouldnt be issues like this.. and even if this problem came up because of the screen protector application, im sorry but how can a screen be this weak..

Thank you for your reply tho, and thank you once again if you read all this. I might actually take it to a Genius Bar.

The only problem with this is that I dont really know if my ipad is actually damaged or not, alao I bought this device from the apple store but under student discount because i need the ipad for my school work. The best option would be if they could replace this ipad without anything else. Thats all, but Ill concider it.

oh. My question will be then how do I activate the 14 day return policy, and do i need tell them to replace it with a new device? Or they just simply do that without any question? Im askimg this because of I was apple, i wouldnt just let them send back any kind of device.

Thank you.

Alright, I can do this same thing even if I live in the EU? And if yes, Do I start this 14 day return on the apple official website? Because in the order recipt, it doesnt say when the 14 day return policy wikl expire, theres not even a line about it.

Thank you so much! And one last question, do I have to call apple on the 1-800-MY-APPLE number in order to start the exhange, also do I need to tell them that I bought it off student discount with a 2nd gen apple pencil? Or they will know all details, the only thing I need to tell them is that I want an exchange on the ipad to a brand new device?

Thank you once again for answering all these questions!
