I think there are only a very small percentage of people with this issue. My screen is perfect with no issues at all.
Got a tip for us?

Sounds good.I think there are only a very small percentage of people with this issue. My screen is perfect with no issues at all.
They'll probably come here in the middle of November
I can't seem to replicate that issue. Don't see any of the flaws discussed in this forum. Then again, half the people on here are crazy. It's laughable to read the threads whenever Apple releases something new.
Hmm
Ok. Can you pull some strings with your Apple contacts and ask them when the hell can I buy this thing in Thailand ?
Ok. Bare with me here. I think I'm going crazy! I keep thinking I can spot a dead pixel right at the top left of my screen where it meets the bezel. Sometimes I see it but when I stare at it I can't! Might be OCD gone made! I've taken a pic with brightness full up. Can any of you spot anything? Cheers.
Good point. My Air was rather loud to type on whe. In a meeting. The Air 2 feels solid and is quiet.
May I suggest that you sell the iPad Air and get the Air 2.
2gb Ram may not be fully utilised as yet, such as for split screen capabilties, but Air 2 is future ready in that regard.
However if you don't want to go to the trouble of having to sell your iPad Air and if you're happy with it's performance with 1gb of RAM then I would suggest to wait untl a significant price drop or until iPad Air 3 is announced.
If you're the type to upgrade every 3-5 years then I'd agree that the Air 2 is the model to get, but if you're going to sell last year's model then what's the point? Just hold on to it and sell when the Air 3, 4, or 5 comes out. They'll be even more "future proof" and there might be an even better longevity model out at that point.
Yeah, the screen is laminated to the glass, so it doesn't have any air space like the original Air
Same boat and couldn't be happier. Great speed improvement and feels better in the hands. Amazing how the small details can really change a device. Definitely loving the thinness.
These same people will sing the song come november 2015 when the successor ipad device is introduced!!!
Brightness: I've noticed that too. I usually kept my Air1 set to about 40% or so but the same level on my Air2 seems too bright. I'm down to 30-35%.
I did it, but mostly because of a trade in deal. Honestly, if not for the 2gb of ram, I wouldn't have bothered. The other improvements are like icing on the cake.
Maybe if they are still running an old OS but my 3 is pretty bad and laggy runny on iOS 8. Im not sure about upgrading after one year but the A8X is leagues ahead of the A5X in the 3's.
Love the Air2. Bought the r mini last year never could get comfortable with it. The only mistake I made this time was buying the wifi only. Wife convinced me that I didn't need the LTE version. First time I didn't buy a cellular. Kept it for 18 hours and returned it for the LTE. LOL. What I find interesting is, both models were perfect. It's hard to believe all the issues that come up on these forums. Just saying.........
