iPad Air 2 Screen distoring when holding.

[Millionaire2K]

"Professional reviews" aren't completely unbiased. Apple has a way of punishing tech sites that bash or call them out on their quality.

That's why its generally in their best interest to give a rough overall review that gives minor criticism and overall praise.

Also when you review a product you do it based on the notion that if something is wrong with your unit it is not a widespread issue. (unless there have been widespread reports of the issue) You review it as if it's working fine. People may have seen the issue but ignored it thinking their unit was just defective.

You wouldn't give a bad review if your ipad arrived with a broken camera.

"The ipad air 2 is a great iPad except for it's non working camera."

You're holding it wrong.

That's how my 64gb looks. my 128 has about 7 more spots. I think I'm gonna just return the 128 and keep the 64. I so wanted more storage. I however don't want to get into the entire "lets open and look" ordeal in store.

Happening with mine as well in the Apple smart case, right mid side. Only when I exert more than normal pressure. 64gb silver wifi.

Seems like a lot of missteps this year for Apple... Hopefully 2015 will be better.

I'm not seeing it don't want to try and push my luck by pushing the heck out of it. That's ugly though I'd return mine

This is a typical example of when you pursue something without asking customers what they want. I'm pretty sure 'make it thinner' would have been no where near the top of the list of things that customers wanted for Air 2. A better camera perhaps, longer battery life, faster yes. But thinner and less battery life in real world circumstances? I think not.

Yep. The Air 1 was fine as far as weight and dimensions. Are you kidding me? it was a great tablet. I'm keeping my Air 2. But they caused some unneeded drama with the Air 2. No brainer. Update the internals and leave good enough alone.

Thats not Tim Cook and Apple though.

Exactly how I feel.

The A8X is unbelievable. Added AC wireless. 2 gigs of Ram...YES. Fingerprint scanner......Homerun. But nope.....had to go and make it thinner.....ISSUES. ....SMH.......

Seems like it is doing it when you press on it not when you're just holding it.

Actually all I am doing is tapping it very gently..

Should I even bother waiting for this or should I just get the Air 1?

Seems like the Air 2 is a serious POS.

I'm thinking about returning both for a refub 128b air. I could save a lot of $$ and stress.

I am still loving the iPad air 2. Would not think of changing it to anything else. Would encourage you to get it, try for yourself and if there are too many unlivable issues, then you could always replace or return.

If the screen distortion becomes too much for me to bear in the next few days I would probably just replace one and see how it goes.

I know none of you guys want to hear this but wouldn't a case *shudder* alleviate both the vibrating & distortion issues?

Sure it may be a bit of a band-aid fix but it could solve some issues and protect the device as a bonus.

Nope. The extra weight of the case makes it worst. Please read the thread.

Apparently the case makes it worse because of the thickness

If this issue is for real, then surely Apple will do something about this.

This issue can damage your LCD eventually. Nothing should be pressing or warping your screen.

well that sucks then. Just use it in landscape mode. Done

OR hold it upside down. It doesn't happen on the opposite end. I feel so sick.

 

[ipadlvr]

I went to Apple forums and asked. One guy says he can't see anything on his and he has a case on it

I gave him the link to this thread and the videos.

Another guy is quite defensive about it.

Another one said my asking wasn't in line with the rules policy.

I don't know why everyone is so defensive.

Please get a grip, this is pretty insignificant compared to the problems a lot of people have in their lives. A bit disappointing? Maybe. A bit inconvenient? Maybe, if you decide to take it back / send it back to get a replacement. Might cause a problem with the screen over time? Maybe, but that's why you have a warranty.

Mine will do it but not in normal use (with or without case) and I have to actually try to flex it / squeeze it with more than normal gripping strength to get it to do it: I'd never have seen it if it wasn't for this thread. If it ever causes a problem (which I think is pretty unlikely) I'm sure Apple will exchange it.

I have OCD. This is just causing it to go into overdrive. I also go on vacation Monday to the following Thursday. So all kinds of thoughts about what I should do are going on in my head.

I do agree its not a HUGE deal as I know Apple will help. It's just driving my OCD and anxiety about going to get help.
