Another ghost typing iPad.
My iPAD 2, which I just gave to a family member as a gift, has started ghost typing. From the number of complaints I've heard from friends and from online sources in the last week and a half since I've been looking into it, this is a nearly ubiquitous problem even with iPad Air models. Does anyone know what % of iPads are afflicted? Is there a solution? The solutions in various discussion groups that are reported to work for some people, end up not working for others or work only as temporary fixes. Returning the product to Apple for repair does not apparently result in a lasting fix. Replaced digitizers fail. In my case, bending it worked for a while less than a day, then not. People talk about taking the iPad apart and covering exposed copper leads with duct tape or pushing such leads deeper in the case. Really? Is this what we are expected to do? Is there a real fix to this? Has Apple owned up to the problem as a general issue design or production problem and have they promised to do anything about it? If the problem has been fixed with the latest models, I'll consider buying another one. If not, all I can infer is that Apple considers this, and me, too trivial to care about. After all, the product "only costs a few hundred dollars". Well this kind of money still means something to me. If Apple doesn't care enough to fix the problem or at least communicate with users about it, I'll take my future tablet business to Samsung, Microsoft, LG, or another who might really want it. And maybe while there, I'll reconsider my phone and computer vendor relationships as well.
