iPad mini iPad mini 6: keyboard popping noise

[EricNau]

For all you iPad mini 6 owners:

Anyone else getting a louder-than-average keyboard clicking noise intermittently? When typing, occasionally I’ll get 2-3 really loud keyboard clicks (as if the volume were at max—I understand system volume shouldn’t affect how loud the keyboard clicks are, but that’s how loud these extraneous pops are). It only happens occasionally… a few times per day, perhaps.

I haven’t noticed any other audio problems, but I also don’t use the audio much. Trying to figure out if this is a hardware defect.

Already on the fence about returning it… maybe this will be the nail in the coffin, unless it’s a common software bug.

It’s normal. My iPhone 12 has the same issue as well as my iPad Pro 11 inch M1. Even my iPhone 7 Plus has it before I traded it in for my iPhone 12. It’s likely a software bug that Apple did not fix for a while.

Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Yeah I have the same issue on all my devices. It can never decide what volume the locks should be, enen in the same line of text. Annoying.

I have this issue with all my iOS devices to some degree throughout various versions of iOS.

I thought this was normal. Although now I’m not experiencing the same while typing this. Maybe Beta 3 fixed it? Maybe it’ll come back. Dunno.

My iPad 5, 6 and 8 have all experienced this. I’ll be typing along and all of a sudden super loud clicks. I got so tired of it I turned the keyboard clicks off.
