iPad Screen distortion iPad Air 2022 - normal?

[Vazza]

I received my new iPad Air yesterday and the first thing I did haven’t read the thread was check for creaking but much to my relief couldn’t recreate it. However, whilst checking for this I noticed that when I press on the right hand rear side of the of the Air, that I can see distortion in the image on the screen (a bit like when you put pressure on a LCD screen and it distorts momentarily) on the screen in that are but nothing if I press on the left hand rear area of the iPad.

I think this is probably normal but coming from a brick iPad mini 2, something I haven’t come across till now on a iPad.

Stop compressing your iPad, you're just pressing internal components against the back of the screen.

You answered your own question

The iPad is pretty thin; pressing on the back is expected to put pressure on the lcd.

Still not fixed since Air 2

Thanks guys for the responses (and reassurance).

The only thing that struck me as odd was it wasn’t happening when I pressed on the left rear area on the iPad but I guess the battery or something must be there with little give in the case as a result there?

I think that's the nature of laminated screens. All mine have done that to one degree or another.
