How many 2018 Pro users NOT experiencing bending?

[BoneHead001]

It is a non-story. I love my new 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

An overwhelming majority of iPad purchasers will not have units that are bent or warped. Probably 99%+.

I asked for the Bendy model but the store said you're flat out of luck.

So I've had to make do with the pancake edition they sold me instead.

 

[macduke]

Not a problem.

 

[Lobwedgephil]

No bending here.

 

[richpjr]

I've got both new pro models and neither are bent (or have bad pixels or bleeding or any other defect I can see, and I am pretty picky).

 

[btrav13]

Have had no issues and don't foresee any. It's in the new apple case and then dropped into a leather sleeve. I'm just really careful with all my expensive gadgets so I never tend to have these problems.

Carrying mine in my back pack daily. Naked with just the keyboard cover. No bending.

 

[Adrianinkc]

Naked since day one no problems here although it doesn’t leave home.

I’ve travelled with mine in an overstuffed backpack and taken it around town quite a bit in my tote. No issues.

You must have really heavy cats.

one heavy cat, one light cat: 7 and 15 lbs I only posted here to add some real-world experience to the thread as most posts appear to be baseless speculation. Yes, mine is bent, but I don't think it's anything to worry about and don't plan on doing anything about it.

My Ipad Pro 11" asks "what is bending?"

 

[uller6]

How bent is it? Would you have noticed without looking for it?

I noticed the bending when the screen was off because the reflection was warped like a funhouse mirror. I don't notice when I'm using it.

There is more of a bonding issue with all the new hubs and USB-C cables

 

[HEK]

No bending here. Mine been working flawless.

 

[VidPro]

No bends or issues. Just 12.9" goodness. That sounds a bit weird...

 

[ericwn]

overblown

I take it you don’t own the device then.

Edit: never mind, saw that you have it. Just sounded like you were simply dismissing the OP’s initial question.

 

[eclipse01]

Me, but i'm also not looking either

Can't really tell with my 2018 iPad Pro. Sometimes I think it's bent, other times it looks to be straight (no pun ). Don't a have a ruler to really check, but it's probably fine so far.

My 2017 iPad Pro has a slight curve to it. Not enough to be an issue, but it's there. I've taken good care of it but the bend was either there when I bought it or it's developed after many hours of drawing.

 

[DoubleFlyaway]

No bending of 2017 12.9 (ASK and a clear back cover most of the time) or 2018 11 inch (keyboard folio). I am reasonably careful, but also a big klutz who has broken many iPhone screens.

 

[DougFNJ]

Theres a funny thing that happens when you take a thin flat object and apply force to the center of that object while holding on the outside.

In other news, I paid a lot of money for that thin flat object, and I intentionally and specifically avoid that type of force being applied to it.

 

[Newtons Apple]

The 11" is the best iPad I have owned.

 

[Capt T]

No bending here. 12.9”

Carry it in my backpack plenty of times. Not overly careful with my iPads as I use them onsite....but don’t go putting stress on it that might bend a thin object like the iPad.

 

[Jimx26]

Got the 11" pro. I use it without a case around the house. Mine's already bent in less than a month because of the stupid protruded camera bump preventing it from sitting flat on a table. I think the bending was caused by my cats walking across it...the iPad still works fine though so I'm not going to worry about the bending.

Do you have Tigers?

 

[Entopia7]

No bending here on my 12.9” 2018 model. After seeing the reports, I DID buy AppleCare, but now I’m just using it as normal. I tend to be quite careful with my devices anyway, though, so I don’t anticipate any damage.

Best ipad I’ve ever owned.

 

[Enclavean]

Mine arrived today, no bend as far as I can tell.

My family got pretty curious when they noticed me pressing the iPad up against every hard surface in the house lol
