As a result, the back of the tablet creaks when pressure is applied.Monday’s deals: $5 covid tests, $175 AirPods Pro, $30 off iPad Air 5, Samsung Z Fold & Flip, more“I ordered and received two blue iPad Air 2022 today and I’m a bit shocked,” the original poster wrote.

Yesterday I was in an Apple Store, curious about this issue, I hold an iPad Air 5 and yes you can feel that the aluminum is thinner, in fact if you press a little bit the back, the battery presses the screen and you clearly can see the black patches on it. Next to it, there was an iPad Pro, I hold it and I immediately felt that the aluminum was much more stronger, it was impossible to replicate the same issue. In fact you don’t even need to press the back to feel that the device is more solid.
