It seems you waited too long.
With Apple, you have to keep your ear to the ground. You're here, so that's the first step.

Difference is you have to TRY and and see it as you described there. These screens show it without trying.
Not gonna lie, that red tint in the attached photo looks horrible 😵💫 I've heard a lot about and feared the OLED lottery, but never had any issues personally on iPhones... They all look the same to me, other than some having a very slightly warmer or cooler tone. But this looks dramatically off. Maybe it's the viewing angle?
It’s slightly different at different angles but that is how it is straight on. I’ve managed to get it looking pretty close to the other devices with the tint settings. Shouldn’t have to but now it looks fine
It wouldn't be a new Apple product without some weird controversy.
I'm looking at my iPad's screen, and it is amazing. And don't tell me, "I'm just not sensitive to screen artifacts" - I've been an OLED enthusiast for years. It's objectively amazing.

So because you don't experience it, nobody does?
This is a technical aspect that needs to be addressed by apple. It could be an issue with the dual Oled panels in tandem format. It's a new concept apple has been working on over the last few years. Rumours tell that Apple is fixing this with an updated version of the Apple Cleaning Cloth. It will now support iPad m4 wiping which will magically clean grainy effect like no tomorrow.
No. I fully believe people who obsess about unimportant issues may find things to criticize - even about one of the best screens on the market.
Especially when we're talking about Apple.
This so far from a gen 1 product that it's almost on the opposite side of that. It's a refined product, that has been improving year after year. This is by far the best iPad I've owned, as great as previous ones were.
Also, this is not an "issue". It's a "story", that's all.
I have the 11 inch 2024 iPad Pro. You notice graininess if you really crank up the screen in a dark environment but that’s an abnormal thing to do so outside of that and just using auto-brightness I do not feel this is a problem. Though I will say if I bring my eyes close to the screen there is some graininess. But holding it at a regular distance it’s not noticeable.
I couldn't agree more. These displays are the best in any tablet, without question. I don't go looking for problems though.
I agree and hate finding things to end up getting obsessed over but this time it was so obvious to see it was just too distracting to use. The side by side in store showed the difference clearly, it wasn’t something you needed to squint or hold the iPad to your nose to see, and it wasn’t dark in the store either obviously
People with this issue aren't looking for problems, they have them. I'm glad if your unit doesn't have it, but how about some empathy for people who do have the issue?
Looks good on my 11". Funny enough, my Switch OLED and LG C1 both have this issue. On the TV, this eventually went away after weeks of use. The Switch still has this though, probably due to not being used as much.
What's the point in paying for OLED and all those extra nits for SDR/HDR if you're just going to use auto-brightness?
All of the sudden I have an urge to run up some stairs
They can use the return window if they are really unhappy with the best damn iPads Apple has ever made.
More like a made-up chum-in-the-water controversy to get people going non-linear.
