iPad Air 5 screen pressure distortion

i’ve had this iPad Air 5 generation for about half a year now and I’m very disappointed about the building quality it is absolutely terrible. This does not feel like an Apple product. Is anybody else experiencing this when you pick up the iPad and you place your fingers butt on the back and hold it up like that there’s a weird distortion spot in the middle right side of the screen, and when I push just the lightest pressure on the back of the iPad, it appears, and when I put a on a whole bunch of pressure distortion is clearly visible and it’s getting hard to ignore at first I thought my product was defective or had a manufacturing issue until I went onto the Internet and seeing how many complaints about this exact issue but it doesn’t seem like people are taking it that seriously even though this iPad is a very expensive device and even with the newest batches it doesn’t seem like Apple is fixing this and I’m actually very upset about this because of how good apples build quality of their products used to be and how reliable they are but I feel like they’re just getting worse just like the iPhone 15 having durability issues their products just keep getting more expensive in the quality is also getting worse. This is the only reason why I buy these products is because they just work out of the box and their ecosystem is unbeatable, but this is really starting to make people reconsider, purchasing a device from Apple,

so if any agents are reading this, please take notes and do something about this issue because it does not appear that you guys are doing anything to it

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

there’s nothing wrong with it it’s just terrible manufacturing and a bad internal design the screen is barely being held onto the thing. It’s only being held on by adhesive. There’s nothing supporting it from the back except the thing sticking up like the screws or the motherboard that’s exactly what you see when you press down on the screen every single iPad Air 5 has this issue you can just see it warp from gently touching it

Since this iPad is less than a year old, why don't you avail yourself to the Support link, in the upper right corner of main black Apple Website menu to make an appointment with your nearest Apple Store location.

The store will do a free evaluation of your iPad and offer you options to resolve your iPad hardware/screen issue.


Best of Luck to You!
