Well the older iPads also can get bent too but it requires more force unlike this current iPad Pro it's like you just bent a cardboard, he just bent it with no effort, I didn't even saw his hands shake a bit. o_O

How much less force might be a question? Again, no measurements of force. Easier, probably. Hope I don't come back crying. So forgive my give and take.

I dont think OJ was defended as hard by his multi-million dollar paid legal team as people try to blindly hero Apple for no apparent reason (who would take every penny in your pocket if they legally coudl)
If the bend don't fit you can't convict! ;) I've gotta say the naysayers may not actually own a new iPad. If they do show me the bend and circumstances.

Going to Apple tomorrow to check one out. I'll let you know, and compare it to the Apple folios. Heck my happiness with the iPad may not be yours. But I'm happy to help!

About that supposed structural integrity issue. Keep in mind this simple fact... the guy who did the bending video (for clicks) GOUGED OUT the plastic in the charging gap with a friggin knife before bending it!! Thus compromising it’s structural integrity. Will you do that? Will you Gouge out the plastic charging port in normal everyday usage? Umm...I would guess no. So come on man. Use your head. Are you really gonna let a video created for clickbate money sway you? If you don’t wanna buy a new iPad Pro based on solid first hand experience that’s cool. But don’t let a known Apple bashing clickbate YouTuber who only wants to make money be the deciding factor. That would be Bad! Mmm Kay!


Exactly they destroy a $1300 iPad because they are going to make so much more from clicks on the video

But is this the Apple distortion field again? So because one doesnt own something we should just negate the evidence in the videos and photos presented here?

I don't need to stick my hand up a cow's butt to know it doesn't look fun either.

Sorry you can't give the iPad Pro a chance. But I respect your concern,

I did the ruler test on my 2nd gen 12.9 and both the screen and back not perfectly uniform flat. Like less than a mm in spots just like the pro 11.

Jeez I can’t believe this is a thing. Zach at Jerryrig makes his living off of bashing Apple. He’s so purposely biased for his fanboys its comical and he doesn’t try to hide it.

But, a Scorching retort:

Jesus. Look at how much force it took to bend THAT tablet. He couldn’t even get it to outright snap in half like the new iPad Pro does. Snaps like a kit kat bar

I wish we could just put it through a more scientific test to see once and for all. Like an undamaged iPads pro right out of the box bent with a machine and a counter that shows the pounds of force applied. That vs the other tablet and the results.

Because just from my eyes, the iPad Pro just snapped in an almost comical “this stuff is weak as paper” kinda way whereas the other tablet: the guy REALLY had to try to bend it proving exact opposite point. Yeah it bends. But the level at which it does is much much harder

So far my iPad Pro hasn’t gone boiled noodle in my hand. This concern about the iPad has jumped the shark.

Isn’t that a bigger tablet and a different dude bending it?

in terms of grip and force applied how exactly did you measure that it took much more force to bend this tablet?

It’s a non-issue!

With iPhone 6 bendgate within 24hrs of unbox therapy’s video release you had thousands of examples on Instagram,Twitter and Facebook. The complaints were widespread

Look now, there’s only a handful of people complaining on here some of them don’t even show us a picture so we don’t know how genuine they are.

What you see in this case is really talk about someone’s video bending an iPad....purposely
