perhaps you should try to record your fingerprint again...
maybe the result would be better..

Got mine from USA today. Gold 128GB wifi

How was it ? Can share review ? Really tempted to get one . I got the 1st gen mini so still considering whether want to upgrade to this one or not .

Yesterday went to apple shop in Singapore and test on the Ipad Air 2. However, disappointed with the vibration cause by the volume. I turned on the volume to about 50% and the back of the ipad vibrate very hard. Even worse when raise to 100%.

I compared the volume testing with Ipad Air, there not much vibration even at 100%.

Maybe because Ipad Air 2 thinner than Ipad Air, or the display set have problem. But if display set have problem, then it could happen to any other new set.


Update:

Saw someone comment about it before.

The vibration issue I think it's okay for me since I always use my headphones .

Then good for you.

But for me, I think is a no no because long term, the others parts might be damaged due to the constant vibration, especially use for long hour (3-4 hours for 2 movie).

others parts might be damaged due to the constant vibration
anyone can clarify this ?

didnt know ipad air 2 such fragile

i think he is paranoid only..
iphone/phone vibrate all the time(incoming call/SMS/msg)..how come never damage anything?
phone vibration even stronger than speaker vibration..

Well. Don't use max volume would do. XD

If you notice, I'm saying long term of constant vibration where you watch movies or listen to songs for hours everyday.

Your phone ring / sms will vibrate for hours? Please test on the ipad air 2 first, then you will know how strong is the vibration.

Common sense that constant vibration for long hours might damage something. In addition, the ipad air 2 is so thin where the spaces between components are limited. My previous post use "might", so it means there are possibilities, not necessary will happen. Personally, I don't want to take the risk by spending RM 2.5k+ (64gb + cellular). If people don't mind, can go ahead. I just share my thought after tested the device.

FYI, there is technology in Toshiba laptop to moved the position of the hard disk when vibration is detected (my company have few).

Just my 2 cent, if don't like it, just leave it.


But 50% also with strong vibration.

i also just give my opinion..
my work require me to receive call and SMS all the time.
eventhough would not be continuous for hours but it still vibrate from time to time for the whole day.
the phone still survive.

Thanks for your opinion.

But calling people paranoid seems more than rude (and provoking with whistle icon). I do expect mutual respect even though we are in the internet.




Just an update: Found from the apple forum that a lot users experienced the speaker vibration and the some users claimed that the problem is resolved after exchanged the device. So it was hardware problem.

Could have some hope to get one myself.

Just get mine from Singapore, 64GB WiFi
Was previously from iPad Air 1.
For me iPad Air 2 looks much better than Air 1
It's worth upgrade even you're using Air 1

If you want a nice view of your iPad, don't buy cellular version as it will spoil the back (there's a part will be white instead of whole gold)

Using iPad 2 now, I think it's time for an upgrade. But I do concern about the vibration problem....I guess I'll just try it out myself at shops once they are available.

To those who already have the iPad Air 2, just wanna check, how bad is the screen distortion when lifting the ipad with one hand?


If I am not mistaken, only 1 guy got the exchange which fixed the issue right? Batch issue prolly? Then again, can anyone clarify on this?

Can't wait for the arrival of the royal highnesses, been eyeing them since forever lol. But of course, I'm really hoping that all the vibration and screen distortion issues are limited to the 1st batch and Apple can magically have them fixed for all batches arriving here

Hi I'm finally able to fully migrate all my files from iPad gen 1 to the new IPad air 2. The speed is phenomenal. I'm speaking for those who have older generation iPads. It is definitely a worthy upgrade. I have so much speed that I can't think of what to do.

It just begs to have true multitasking

In terms of the speakers. I guess it is high time Apple made stereo speakers for the iPad. It is louder in the iPad Air 2 and yes it does vibrates but o did my iPad gen 1. Is it significantly more? Slightly. I can't comment on the effects of long term vibrations but so far it does not bother me too much as I use it for reading.

What I found weird is that it gets a bit hot during long hours of game play ie infinity blade or aspart 8. But it is hardly noticeable in an air conditioned room.

Battery life is as stated I manage to stretch it to 10 hours to near 8% with normal browsing, migrating files, reading. Downloading etc

I haven't mange to get a case yet but I will visit low yay soon enough to hunt for cases if there are any in the Malaysian market now.

Proud owner of an 128GB IPad air 2 gold wifi

Aiyo why u still use ipad built in speaker meh? No syok at all playing game or watching movie. Now everyone use Bluetooth speaker or headphone liao

hi, mind review that does your ipad air 2 having screen distortion issue?

glad you having a good gears now on

There's no distortion actually. It think I is very rigid like a piece of aluminum block. Doug you can bend it unless you willing want to put your rm2500 investment down the trash

good, maybe a green light for me to get it d...cant wait
