Ask HN: Does my iPad Air have a design bug in volume buttons?
I own an iPad Air from 2024 and every time when I press the upper (lower) volume button, it reduces (increases) volume, which, I feel, is quite counter-intuitive. I have owned this ipad for over two years now and I still press upper volume button (almost every time) when I try to increase the volume. I then realize it decreases volume.
I wonder if this is a design bug. Does your ipad volume button work the same way?
The volume on an iPad Pro running an older ios behaves consistently. One button is up. The other is down.
A newer iPad running ios26 flips the function. The buttons change function depending on the orientation of the ipad, to correspond with a visual slider, which I never look at.
