iPad Air 2 Distortion

There is no such widespread defect. I have no screen problems at all with my iPad. Pressing on the back does nothing.

In fact, if one examines the construction of the iPad Air 2, there is no way that pressure on the back of the device would have any effect on the screen.

It seems that one company manufactures the iPad 2 Air 2014...

Thats a bit silly. It is widespread as most units will have distortion on at least one spot in the back. if your unit is functioning properly However, no amount of normal griping force would cause it.

For your unit to never experence this is rare.

Brandon batted a 1000 in the Apple Store. Pressing on the back by the Store employee proved it.

I finally figured out that you are probably replying to Jim rather than Brandon - makes MUCH more sense to me now. - ÇÇÇ

HINT: tap names will jump you to the posts EDIT - well, so much for fancy footwork, they both led to your post. another JiveWare glitch

Yes, I certainly believe everything I read on the Internet.

Amigo... does that go for your original reply as well? "There is no widespread..." He relayed an experience, you make an unsubstantiated statement. 6 of 1 - half dozen of the other.

I don't buy any of this. There have been these bogus screen problem posts of one sort or another on every iPad model made. I consider this stuff just FUD and I actually have an iPad Air and have been using it for 2 months.

His statements are completely unsubstantiated. All you have is his story which could be a comple fabrication or delusion.

The "widespread defect" just doesn't exist. I consider this thread to be irrelevant or a troll and I'm out of here.

with apologies to Amia,

it seems you are actually addressing both of our points Jim. I wonder what motive Brandon might have for such an OP? It was very soft spoken and ultimately complimentary of AppleStore service. I also wonder what motive the other posters in the numerous threads regarding the iPadAir2 here in ASC have for this bogus behavior - as if Apple folk really are affected in any way by our posts or any others in the WebWildWorld?

As it appears that we have answered Brandon's issues...

"While I'm pleased with Apple's great service, I still wonder why this problem seems to be universal on all iPad Air 2 units. Can anyone tell me if they've gotten a good model? Thanks..."

why appears = one manufacturer

universal = not likely

widespread (our red herring) = can't be quantified

good model = yep = yours

... I'm out

Happy Holidays

Aloha ÇÇÇ. There's one way to know for sure. A field trip. Mosey on down to the Apple Store and give the iPad Air 2 a look see. I think you'll be pleasently surprized and just might be a brand new owner of a gold iPad Air 2. Don't forget you'll need to give a full report to the class. Stay well. Bob.

[snicker]

Howdy bob... it seems that it matters more to some than others<(me). You know good and well a field trip won't do the trick! You really think those fine folk would let me unbox a plethora of iPadAir2s just to settle a dispute?? Let's see... how do I find a store if Locator for authorized repair/seller not working?

Santa Claus is coming to town...Watch - no wait! "Coming Early 2015" (means 2nd quarter according to the pundits) - and drat it! no iPhone (system requirements not obvious) - I think I believe the "Internet" before I buy into the hype. 👿

aloha

ÇÇÇ

RIP, Joe Cocker

^^ TapIt ^^

You don't need to unbox them, they got plently lying about just waiting for you to give them a try. Unless your name is Magneto and you're using your super powers to hold your iPad i don't see how these black spots are suppose to be appearing.

buenos dias, bob - as we say here in the Lone Star State, "I did not just fall off the turnip truck." <]:-) -- didya fall off a pineapple truck?

am I to assume that all those toys in the playroom have not been checked beforehand for the defect? A random statistical sample 'tis not, unless you're FoxNews or its ilk. Maybe I AM a bit naive when I believe that wide 'reports' are not motivated by a nefarious conspiracy to somehow hurt Apple's iPad sales. I didn't think the DRK could hack Sony either. You know from our 'alias changing' deal that I AM, in fact, Sir Paranoid Çurious Ç. Çat, Esq. Just can't see that articulate folk like Brandon would be part of a plot with so little potential reward. Trolls are usually not smart and certainly not organized - no wait, forgot about our friend P.......V......

aloha - ÇÇÇ

PS - but ya know, I sure would like to handle one of these faulty critters, just to see for myself. Maybe Brandon will FedEx his new "not so bad" iPadAir2 to me to play with?

I've seen the YouTube videos on this and was about to scratch the Air 2 in favor of the Air. However, after playing around with both at Best Buy, the Air 2 was not anyway near as bad as the ones in the video. Normal holding of the Air 2 did not show the fingertip ghosting, though I could get it to exhibit the issue when I pressed on the back harder than what you would normally do. You must have gotten a bad one. BTW, the original Air also had a a very faint issue as well, though it was really hard to get it to happen.
