Happy I sent Vision Pro back, it’s already 2 generations behind on the chip. Finally upgrading my M1 iPad. Only the M4 could have convinced me.
Got a tip for us?

It’s the same thickness as Samsung tablets, which are quite robust.
That is probably correct. And the reason I'll be getting a Surface Pro 10.
It was never "sat" on in my back pocket...it bent just from BEING in my back pocket. 🍑
I actually think Macs will be upgraded to M4 series faster than people expect.
Question: coming from a 10.5 inch 2017 iPP, I find the back is very slippery, and I have to squeeze my grip a lot when holding it without a case on, or it slips out of my hands. I guess this is still a thing on newer iPads?
How tight were your jeans? I can squat 500lbs (been lifting weights for 20 years) and my back pockets still aren't tight enough enough to bend a phone when standing...
Anyway, why were you putting it in your back pocket anyway? Trying to get it stolen for some weird insurance thing?
Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you said iPad Air. I agree the Macs will soon get M4!
Apple's unpredictable M-series upgrade cycle may have unintended consequences. Their first AR headset out just a short 3 months ago now has a 2-generations-old processor and costs more than an iPad Pro releasing this month. What are they thinking? :-/
FWIW my six year old XR with aerospace grade aluminum lives in my back pocket including when I sit and it has never bent.
Well the processor isn't everything and considering the lead time needed for the Vision Pro, it will likely always lag behind in the processor.
Yes. The major problem is that - to prevent from slipping - the "thicker" 11" and 12.9" 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022 models bend easily (so did my 10.5").
Our 2020 model is "arc'ed", and was in a case, to limit how hard we hold it.
I'm super-nervous about the even thinner 2024 model.

If you by dropped mean basically staying the same from yesterday, sure. And up about 4.7 % this last week.
aerospace-grade ← means "pure"
aluminum ← means "soft and lightweight metal"
Putting it in your back-pocket and then sitting down on the couch, chair, or simply bending down to tie your shoes, over and over and over, seems to have contorted the soft and lightweight metal around your glute muscles.
What part of "I never sat on it" don't you people understand? It was NEVER SAT ON...it resided in my pack pocket from time to time and began to shape to fit my @$$.
Stop trying to blame me when a LOT of people had issues with "Bendgate". FFS.
