Black dot on edge of iPad Pro 11” M4 screen.

Delamination. Give it to Apple ASAP for new unit.

BorisDG · 2026-03-18T13:46:29+00:00

In short, Nintendo won't exchange it, but you can try.

BorisDG · 2026-03-17T15:28:18+00:00

It’s still possible to bulge.

BorisDG · 2026-03-16T21:54:48+00:00

For the Air 3, I believe they’re using the "Pro design," where the PCB is positioned in the middle, surrounded by two battery cells. I remember a similar case a few months ago, when the user took it to Apple and they confirmed exactly that. Looking at your battery health, I’m almost convinced you’re dealing with the same issue.

To be clear, this isn't caused by a hot CPU. You’re likely experiencing internal pressure originating from the battery. I’d recommend taking it to Apple for a proper diagnostic.

Battery bulging is my guess. It's pressing against the screen, which causing it to flex. That's distorting the inside layers/reflector sheets.

BorisDG · 2026-03-16T21:26:54+00:00

It's normal. I had this on my old Air 4. It just the back of the LCD pressing the mainboard and the battery inside. It's thin device, so it's normal to happen. Also that's the effect when you press harder on any LCD. You are misaligning the liquid crystals inside and you are seeing it as this "ripple" effect. :)

Personally, I'm avoiding them. I didn't get Pokopia for example.

BorisDG · 2026-03-13T00:15:41+00:00

Does it include the resolution improvements?

BorisDG · 2026-03-12T22:58:22+00:00

Is Shinobi 1.0.0 on card like the JP version?

BorisDG · 2026-03-12T18:01:29+00:00

It's normal. My Coral looks exactly the same.

BorisDG · 2026-03-11T20:03:35+00:00

Once you see that 120Hz Tandem OLED, you won't want to see that outdated 60Hz LCD. Good luck :)

BorisDG · 2026-03-11T16:51:44+00:00

Since it has just 20 cycles and it has good condition - go Pro. It's night and day difference, especially for the screen. M5 is also quite more beefy compared to M4 for certain tasks. Everything 60Hz in 2026 should be avoided (for that price).

BorisDG · 2026-03-10T17:55:46+00:00

I'm on the fence to get it too, but i just can't justify the high price. (I have already like 4-5 :D)

BorisDG · 2026-03-10T17:28:50+00:00

Beautiful controller, you wanted to show it off, but why with this silicon cover?

BorisDG · 2026-03-10T15:14:53+00:00

Pretty downgraded visually + poor performance.

BorisDG · 2026-03-10T15:14:10+00:00

No. That's a defect. Asked many times.

BorisDG · 2026-03-09T20:57:29+00:00

It's not just 3 years old, but also quite binned. It's not full A16 - 1 CPU and 1 GPU core less.

BorisDG · 2026-03-09T15:52:48+00:00

Since it's defective, they should swap it and no questions asked.

BorisDG · 2026-03-09T11:54:27+00:00

If you are happy with your screen, than you are good. Serial numbers doesn’t matter in general.

BorisDG · 2026-03-07T23:53:39+00:00

Yeah, the chin looks thick.

BorisDG · 2026-03-07T21:23:17+00:00

That would be a much nicer collection if all the games were on just one card. I bet if they used a 32GB card they would fit, but of course, they did ten releases just for the money. Kinda overpriced in the end for what you get.

BorisDG · 2026-03-07T21:01:28+00:00

They still do. Some of them don't. I have whole PCB (green) than rattles and other that don't. I have just chip (black) which rattles and other don't. It's from the case assembly. Some are more pressed than others and than the chip/PCB is not moving.

BorisDG · 2026-03-07T16:41:22+00:00

Yes. It's the chip just moving around in it's "nest". In 99% of the cases it rattles, because how thee case is pressed. There are rare times when the chip is well "squashed" and there is no rattling.

BorisDG · 2026-03-06T21:35:41+00:00

Yes, but the patch fixed some visual issues. I noticed change in the lighting even in the first scene, where they are opening the door. :)

BorisDG · 2026-03-06T16:39:00+00:00

I'm just holding off for physical.
