iPad Air iPad Air 4 screen distortion?

[JDP94]

Is this normal? ?

Recently bought the iPad Air 4 - LOVE IT! It’s perfect for what I need it for!
Just one problem - pixels appear to distort / bleed when even just slight pressure is applied. Not forcing the screen, just slightly more pressure than just ’brushing‘ with my finger. Genius Bar Appointment was the goto but that wont happen for at least another month now.

This is normal with all iPads that have the lcd screen so close to the glass.

Thanks. I assumed I was just being paranoid! ?

I have the pro 2020 and the same thing happens to me. I’m used to it now. It won’t harm your screen

It’s a similar situation to the MacBooks. The LCD panel is so ridiculously thin that the rippling effect happens when you apply a lot of pressure.

Laminated screen. It’s a feature. LOL

I just noted this on my iPad Air 4 as well. It's disconcerting, but hopefully it's actually "normal" and won't cause long term damage to the display panel. I took a short video showing the issue. Note the top dot in the colon between 9 and 4. For what it's worth, I'm just "touching" the display, not pressing hard on it. I mainly note it about 3cm down from the camera and also in the bottom left corner, about 2cm up and 1cm in from the left bezel.

Then stop pressing it, haha.
