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.

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).

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.

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.
