iPad Air 2 speaker vibration

Question

iPad Air 2 speaker vibration

I Just bought an IPad Air 2 yesterday and found out this speaker vibrating issue the very same day. I like all the other new features, but this vibrating whenever I play music or video is a big problem for me from keeping it. It may not be a big deal for some people, but it's a deal breaker for me. I will have to return this iPad Air 2 even though I like everything else except this one issue. I am a loyal customer of Apple, but I wish this issue was taken into consideration when IPad Air 2 was put into production. This hand held device makes listening music while reading difficult for me, to ignore the vibration is kind of hard. Sorry I really liked the new iPad, thin, fast...etc but this one problem ruined my experience because it kept vibrating when I am playing audio and video. I do hope Apple will look into this and resolve it in future versions, please!

iPad Air, iOS 8.1, iPad Air 2

Glad I found these threads. Trying to work out whether to buy the Air 2 64GB or the Original Air 32GB. Looks like I will be getting the latter.

Thanks Brian. I was going to go with the original Air 32GB. My only reservation is that my music on my PC is 16GB.

So I'm hearing some people don't have speaker vibration on certain iPad air2 could you guys confirm which color you have? I have gold IPad air2 and it makes

big vibration. Some people who has silver color claims that theirs don't have much vibration as the gold one. if it's true, I'm gonna exchange it.

Space Grey iPad Air 2 -- had speaker vibration problems and other speaker problems (popping noises & dropped sound). Went to the Apple Store today and they exchanged it for a new iPad Air 2. I've been using it for 3 hours so far without any problems. Hopefully, it will stay problem-free. Seems like a hardware problem on my previous iPad Air 2.

Hi,

Have a silver 64gb air 2 with annoying vibrations.

No way it could be fixed with settings? (other than mute or headphones that is...).

Returning my iPad Air 2 Space Grey as it's a deal breaker for me as I usually stream Spotify while reading. Having have had other iPads this is definitely abnormal and I must say was really disappointed as this is not what I have come to expect from a company that believes in products that just work. Looks like I will stick to my iPad Mini 2 for now.

Everything has been just fine for 4 days now since my iPad Air 2 exchange. So it was a hardware problem with my original iPad Air 2.
