Anyone else experience graphic problems with the new iPad air? I was playing China Town Wars, and all of the sudden the screen started flickering. It also turned off and on by itself. Should I exchange it?
 
I'd fire up some other apps and see if the problem persists. If not, maybe it's an isolated app issue. If it does persist, or if you'd rather not take a chance, there's not harm in going to the Apple Store and explaining to them what's going on and getting it replaced.
 
Yup, hammer it with some games, especially demanding 3d games if you have any. If they are fine then it is likely an isolated app issue.
 
iPad Air Graphical Issues

Anyone else experience graphic problems with the new iPad air? I was playing China Town Wars, and all of the sudden the screen started flickering. It also turned off and on by itself. Should I exchange it?

I bought the 128GB Wifi model of the iPad Air, and I have experienced graphical problems in a couple of games.
Tunnel Town - The menus are so tiny it's almost impossible to read them, and there is screen flickering on some.
Megapolis HD - The graphics are really small (allot smaller then they are supposed to be) and can't be zoomed in much.
Also may or may not be an issue but my Wifi drops out allot, when other connected devices are fine.
I noticed these reports are starting to appear on websites such as CNET apparently Asphalt 8 also has problems.

I don't know what to do at the moment, it could be badly written software (IOS) or hardware?
