Hey guys, I’ve noticed something weird with my iPad screen when using the Apple Pencil Pro.
When I apply light pressure with the Pencil, the screen shows these wave-like distortions — kinda like ripples. I know it’s an LCD and that can happen sometimes, but considering Apple sells this iPad specifically for use with the Pencil Pro (which has pressure sensors), I really don’t think this should be happening just from light touches.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal or should I be worried?
I noticed it happens when I press the back part of my iPad.

It shouldn't from light touches. From heavy presses, I'd expect it.

I don't know if the light pressure is normal on that model, but it shouldn't cause issues since it's normal behavior of LCD panels as you said. You could try comparing to the display models in store to see if your unit is more sensitive or if that's how the iPad Air M3 is.

The screen of the iPad Air m3 is liquid retine.
