hey guys! when i press my thumb on the backside of my new ipad pro, i hear a little noise, like something is moving inside. is this something that you experienced aswell? maybe the glue is not dried yet and it will get better? or would you send it back immediately? the only problem is that i ordered from amazon and they probably can’t send a replacement unit. so i would have to order a new one and wait another month…

can you please provide some more details? Or make a video even?Do you mean when you placed it screen down and the apply pressure with one thumb on the backside? What happen if you just shake? There shouldn’t be any “rattle noise”.

If you have access to a local official Apple Store you should bring it in so they can see/hear exactly what you're talking about. Even if you bought through Amazon you still have warranty with Apple. You can schedule a Genius appointment through Apple Store app or https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Of course iPads and iPhones should not make any noise when held or light pressure (unless you're putting unnecessary amount of force on them to cause bend or break).

If you’re referring to SSD noise, then keep your iPad. SSD drives can make noises, my iPad makes noises when I transfer movies to it from my Mac.

it does sound like something is moving but I think it’s just static. Look up SSD noises

i doubt you could hear it if i make a video. i need to put my ear next to my ipad. it happens when i apply a little pressure to the front and the back at the same time. it sounds and also feels like the ipad casing is not tightly attached to the internal parts. i think it should be more sturdy than this… :/
