iPad Air M2 screen popping when pressed in a certain spot

Well well well, I’ve recently bought a new iPad Air M2, everything nice and fine until I pressed a bit harder than a normal touch (nothing too crazy, just barely harder than a normal touch like when you’re mildly upset with a game), and in that moment I heard a popping noise that was pretty much coming from under the screen, after noticing it I tried pressing again to make sure I’m not crazy but I heard it again, after a week or so of ignoring it I decided to check the wonderful internet for anything like my situation, and I found a post here on this community from a guy with a 2017 (I think) iPad Pro having the same issue, well that guy went a bit further and replaced 4 times his iPad, and others in that post complained about this issue, one of them (I think the writer of the initial post) said he was hoping for a “silent” solution on Apple's end, but as it seems, the issue has been ignored for 5 years and counting or they’re unaware of it, if anyone noticed a popping under their screen feel free to comment here maybe it will grasp someone’s attention, maybe someone with the power to do something about that. Oh and I almost forgot, on my M2 iPad Air, the popping sound comes up when pressing on the bottom part of the screen, in the right side towards the corner, press and then release to hear your 800$ pop or whatever it costs in your country =)

Hello,

We, just users like you, cannot diagnose that kind of issue remotely, sorry.

Since your device is covered by warranty, I suggest that you contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service , or, even better, make an appointment (*) and have your device inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

Regards

Giulio
