Hello!

Who owns an iPad Mini (whether retina or not does not may not be such a big difference) and does like me have the annoyance that the screen is really sensitive to pressure ...
I had my new iPad Retina mini swapped because the volume down button stuck.
In the Apple store a replacement product has been ordered and a few days later they swapped it out.
At home I realized that the new iPad's screen is much more sensitive. Press the display a little harder while for example playing a game in which you press the screen a bit more energetic, the display under the glass throws rainbow colors back and forth ...
So I demonstrated it at the Apple store and a replacement was ordered again.
Few days later I picked it up and behold, the display is even MORE sensitive.
I have now made ​​a picture.
I'm not trying to crush the display, I press only a little harder than normal usage. And I'm relatively slim ... What will a stronger craftsman do with his iPad Mini? :p
This is not normal right?
Clearly it appears on every screen when you press it hard enough. But it should not show up THAT fast, and that's not the case with the exhibits at the Apple Store ...
What do you think? Swap again?
Does anyone besides me have this experience / this "problem" ?

Well pressing way to hard is one way to inflict it, but this is just little more pressure then normal usage (in my opinion).
You know, I'm holding the iPad with one hand in this picture swiping my thumb left and right (like the controls in a game) and I am not trying to crush it I just… press a little harder. This is far from "pressing way too hard" …
Try it with one hand holding… does it appear too or is yours less sensitive?
I only could make this happen with the display iPads in the Apple Store when I "pressed too hard". But my two replacements seem much more sensitive...
