iPad Pro Air pockets in 11 inch M1 iPad Pro?

Just got the device and there is an area that makes a clicking/popping sound when you put even the smallest amount of pressure on it. Anyone else having this issue and should I take it back to the apple store?

I got my 11” today and haven’t noticed anything remotely like this. I would most likely return it. Where on your iPad is it?

If it is around or on the screen, you should return and buy another.

My 10.5 used to do that. Drove me crazy. I’d return it.

No, it's perfectly normal and causes absolutely no issues.

I definitely noticed a little bit of hollowness around the apple logo at the back of the 12.9 2021 iPad. My 2020 version felt completely dense and solid by comparison. No popping or clicking, just additional flex in certain areas.

If you notice then it's an issue so return it until you get a good one and do it while there's still stock. You didn't pay $800+ to make excuses for defects.

That is a spot I would touch all the time, and every time I would worry it was a sign of possibly bigger problems down the line. It would drive me insane. Definitely take it back and ask for a replacement. Hell, I just arranged to exchange a pencil 2 that came with a small bend in it. Support’s reaction was basically “yep, don’t like that. Let us replace that for you…”

I gave it a try and gave mine a firm squeeze around all the edges and also pressed around on the center area of the screen and am getting nothing like this.

Hello, was your issue resolved by apple? Have they replaced your ipad? Mine is doing something similar as it makes a faint pop whenever i flex the area around the smart connector near the charging port, the sound is almost certainly coming from the smart connector, does yours feel the same? Thanks in advance

Yeah I sent it back on day 1 and they sent a replacement right away
