Anyone ever noticed this? The iPad's screen is only fully sharp in landscape with the charging connector to the right. I first noticed this on my iPad Pro 10.5" and thought maybe it was specific to that device but now on my Air 4 I'm noticing the same thing. Text just looks blurrier with some chromatic abberation in any other orientation other than the aforementioned one. Not a big deal...but I tend to only use my iPad in that orientation for that reason.

Perhaps holding it wrong but in rotating my 2021 12.9 IPP I see no difference as I rotate my ipad

There’s definitely a difference albeit very subtle. It’s mainly more chromatic aberration around text which makes text look slightly blurrier. Just tried taking pics with an iPhone and it doesn’t show up good enough. I may pull out the mirrorless and tripod sometime…

Do you use a screen protector of any kind?
