Please note that the pressure used is VERY minor. The power button (if you can’t tell) is in the top right corner. This issue is on my original and was even worse on the one they tried to replace it with. It also is present on EVERY floor model that I have seen (in the apple store and elsewhere). It seems to be an internal hardware issue with assembly and not having enough clearance between the battery and the LCD. I love this thing but they need to create a recall on this. Unacceptable. Feel free to read of the Reddit discussion going on here:
