iPad Pro iPad Pro is bent

I will bet you that her husband did it while she wasn't around and is now afraid to fess up for fear she'll beat him silly. These things don't bend by themselves, and I find it hard to believe she didn't notice it being bent when it came out of the box. Apples packaging almost makes it impossible to have anything bent in the box. The husband was probably using it on the couch, fell asleep, and rolled on top of it or something.
That video is very disturbing. Does he have $1,000 to throw away to make the video? Or is he going to claim it was an "accident" and return it? Or are YouTube videos like this so profitable that he makes back the cost??? Man, oh, man.
Inanimate objects do not bend themselves*

This guy does these a lot. I watched one he did where he dropped 13 or 14 iPhone 6 from a 50 ft. drop to see which case would hold up. Not many did BTW.
.... Guys give this thread a rest. There's nothing productive coming out of repeatedly bumping it.
The OP wasn't trying to say that the iPad Pro was easily bent. I believe she was simply trying to find an explanation and a solution to her predicament. She's already contacting Apple regarding this - there's nothing more to achieve by continuing to post here, let's move on...

Yes the Apple Faithful are freaking out in embarrassment...
That's what Jobs claimed when hyping the original.
Look Ma... It's Magical & Revolutionary

I mean Apple would be able to tell right away and would hand you a new one without issue..
I remember purchasing an Apple TV some years ago brand new out of the box the remote looked like it came out of a microwave,completely warped and melted.
I stopped the video above after he dropped it from 6ft' and seemed shocked it had an effect on it. What does he expect?
The point was to see how much it could take before it was destroyed. If you continue watching, you'll see him bend it, to see how hard it is to do that.
As if it bent by itself...
Again one of those who messes up his iDevice and then goes on message boards to cry about it as if a higher force broke it! Ahhhhh
If that guy was a republican he could add "Thanks Obama!" to the picture of the bent iPad!
I seriously don't get the guy... why does he post this picture here? Does he expect us to magically unbent it via telepathy? Maybe he just wants to troll!

AppleCare+ excludes intentional damage or reckless handling. Since this guy makes a lot of YouTube videos destroying phones and tablets, there's no way he's getting away with that. Either he's so rich that destroying a $1,000 tablet for fun is nothing to him, or else he's making so much money from advertising on those videos that they pay for it. Or else he steals them.
Trolls don't register back in 2011 and wait 4 years to start trolling people. Maybe read her comment history. I fail to see this person as a troll. Trolling is what others are doing on here. Why on earth should she bother to return and waste her time on this community, given some of the replies on here .
FYI , if you actually read the thread, it's a 'she'. I guess your reply proved the point people don't read the threads anymore and most jump in... I think we should focus on people actually reading the context and not just funny cheap shots.
Anyway, as I have stated I feel sorry for this person who came here for help.
Unfortunately it is a forum, so many people are here for entertainment, both on the posting and replying side. So you have to come in with thick skin if you have a crazy situation... real or not.
I still stick by my assessment of this and hope she comes back to see it. The most likely situation is that her husband did it and is too fearful to tell her. There is no scenario you will convince me of that it a) bent by itself, or b) came out of the box bent, unless there was a video proving it, and I probably still wouldn't believe it. Someone bent it. Most likely it was her husband if she's genuine in her post.
Even if that was the case, what kind of help was this person expecting here? Go to the Apple store. Call Apple. You may vent, share and other stuff here but certainly don't come here with something like this and expect nobody to call you out for BS when you say nobody did anything to it and one day it was like that.
Might as well post a thread saying your pregnant but you don't know how it happened.
