My iPad is new it’s only a month old
I have a track record of finding issues with apple devices

I recently discovered that my home button is pretty loose at the top of the button. The button clicks okay for the most part except if I press towards the sides it sinks down. The bottom does not sink very far but the sides sinks so far down I am able to see under the button pretty clearly you can feel the sides bottom out at a point so it’s not like it’s gonna fall in. However it does sink down far enough to where you can insert things under the screen not that I would do that on a regular basis. It’s just pretty annoying. I attached a video for reference.

I checked 3 other iPads and they all sink down the same amount but mine does seem easier to press down than the other ones

Any idea on why it does this or should I get it fixed. I might just live with it

I 've never found a single thing wrong with any of my Samsung devices over the years and it was hardware faults that moved me away from iPhones in the end. For a supposed 'premium brand a lot of Apple's products are flawed. Over the years I've suffered loose buttons and display issues on all but one of my iPhones. My iPad Mini 6 has developed loose volume buttons and the well documented scaling problems & jelly scrolling are not what one expects from a premium device.

LOL! The video is great!😂

Even if it is 5 months old.
