iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) back panel noise

Is there anyone else annoyed due to the clunky noise inside the back panel of the new iPad Air Gen 5 when you hold it in both hands and slightly press the apple logo or the area around it. It just feels that it has been so awkwardly built!!! I had returned two devices already for the same issue and got the 3rd one with even more noise. I am gonna keep this one as I feel it’s by design. But the design is worthless for a $800 iPad.


P.S. I’ve got iPad Air Gen 5 Wi-Fi + Cellular 64GB

I have the same, it creaks in my hands. Pretty annoying for an Apple product that promises to do better than this. You can also feel how wavy the screen is when scrolling. I just returned it. It was my first iPad ever.
