iPad iPad Mini 4

If what you are saying is true, then I think that you tried a dodgy unit. I can't recreate what you are saying without adding the sort of force that would make me worry about breaking it. No issue here.

My first-hand experience yesterday at the Apple Store is enough for me to conclude the iPad Mini 4 is not for me. Enjoy yours – my decision to purchase one is completely off the table.

Out of curiosity, why? Too small? Other?

Lol totally different experience from me.

Just tried an hour ago in store and now I'm even more convinced to get a Mini 4. One-handed usage is just perfect! Not too light for me but definitely not as heavy as Air 2. It's even easier than iPad Mini 2 due to Mini 4's reduced weight. Air 2 is great too but it's better to use it with 2 hands. I think weight distribution plays a part in determining difficulty of balancing the ipad in our hand. If I am getting Mini now, I am just afraid I can't get used to hold an Air 3 if I am getting it next year.

Honestly casing vibration is still there due to loud speaker volume. Speaker's volume is much louder than Mini 2. I compared them using max volume on both. But it does come with vibrating chassis although not as bad as last year's Air 2. Definitely a lot of improvement. If I didn't compare it to Mini 2, I might not notice that the chassis actually vibrated.

Performance-wise...i couldn't tell much difference between Mini 4 and Air 2 from my usage. Not sure what you guys expecting from a Mini or how you will use it but for me, it's basically media consumption with some productivity work. I never compare Air 2 and Mini 4 speed side by side but Air 2 probably is just a little bit snappier. I use it for browsing, youtube, social media, book reading, office work, light games, notes. Your experience might vary.

Out of curiosity, why? Too small? Other?

Primarily because of my experience with the continuation of the screen distortion, and secondarily, there is too small of a difference between the Mini’s screen and my 6Plus screen.

Picture proof? I've seen it recently on an iPad Air 2 store demo and if it's doing it on the iPad Mini 4 it's unacceptable.

That is understandable.
