Writing on iPad M2 is bad

Hello,


after many months of launching iPad M2 I am very sorry for my purchase. Any iPad (regular or Pro) that does not have Apple Pencil hover writes vastly better with Apple Pencil.


A classic problem is that the Apple Pencil (2 gen) paints/writes on the iPad even though the pen tip is not touching the screen (This does not happen with NON M2 iPads).

Straight lines most of the time start with a little bump and as well as some letters.


The handwriting is very bad, there are many, many users complaining about this as you can see here:

How to my Apple Pencil 2 on iPad Pro M2 s… - Apple Community


Things I have tested:

-I have the latest version of iPadOS 16.4.1(a) installed.

-It happens with or without case.

-It happens with or without screen saver.

-It happens with the "Show effects when using stylus" feature on and if I turn it off it still happens.

-Even on M2 iPads from Apple Store this happens too, (my iPad is not defective and my Apple Pencil is not defective either).


I want to know if this is a software issue (in the future it could be fixed) or is this a defect that all M2 iPads with Apple Pencil hover have.


Please fix this, it's very annoying, I miss typing on my old iPads. it's been 6 months since the release of the iPad M2 and it still has this problem!


Thank you.

You have signed up and into an Apple user to user product technical support community.

We are all just Apple product users/customers, just like you.

No one here can do anything.


You are free and welcome to submit feedback about this issue to Apple.

This is only one of the few ways to directly contact Apple about ANY product issues.



iPad Feedback


Feedback - iPad - Apple


Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel, but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.


The more users that post product feedback about any product issue, the faster Apple, in California, is made aware and starts working on a fix/solution for a future software update.


If no one posts feedback to Apple, Apple will have NO clue that there are any types of issues with their hardware or software products!



Also, I suggest contacting/reaching out to Apple Product support and services.

Tap on the first link below and scroll down some to get to the Apple Product Support section and phone numbers for your location/region.


Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple


OR


Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support



If you need to, if initial 1st tier Apple customer support is of no help to you, you can calmly ask to have this issue escalated up to more responsible, senior level Apple customer support employees to see if they can come up with other possible advice/solutions to this iPad boot loop issue, but I make no guarantees, whatsoever.

If need be, you can have your iPad issues escalated all the way up the chain to Apple engineering level customer phone support.


Even if no acceptable resolution, Apple, AT LEAST, logs all support calls and issues.



Best of Luck to You!
