Amazon probably finds it less expensive to gamble on quality and replace the units people complain about. I'm pretty sure most of the returned ones will wind up being sold as refurbs even though I doubt they do anything to them other than make sue it powers up and then repackage it.
And do you honestly think they sold a 1,000 of these to date? I feel like it's a very niche product. I am loving my 128GB iPad air 2 with LTE though. Reading on that for the time being.
