Why would a product insurance company (apple care, ect) cover a device that could fail do to the fragile nature of it’s construction? Makes no sense. I hope that there will be sturdy cases availible when the new one comes out next month.
Hmmmm... I know it’s too early to say but I wonder if it will bend the same as the 3rd Gen? Anyone know if the bending was more prominent on 11” or 12.9” models? Refurb 3rd Gen 64GB for $899 vs new one 128GB for $1299 (CAD)... hmmmm,
All bending info up to now is anecdotal. I’m still surprised that no one has done a test of exactly where the failure point is... what amount of pressure is required to permanently deform it.
I wonder if some will come bent out of the box... I certainly hope not
Purchased a 3rd Gen refurb for $899... with the longer return window hopefully I get comfortable with the device and see if it exhibits any bending from normal use.
That's great and all, but it's about UNRESPONSIVE SCREENS, whether the iPad is bent or not. So focusing on physical deformity really is missing the point. At least that's my primary complaint...
waiting for a ifixit tear down to see if the chassis or material has been upgraded
Same, I'm anxious to find out if there's any internal modifications to strengthen the structure
Yeah, your’s... not many others.
I’ve heard complaints of bending iPads not unresponsive screens.
Really? I've experienced that as well and there are a lot of threads here about it:
12.9 iPad pro Gen 3 touchscreen problem
I bought a new 12.9" iPad pro on the first available day last Wednesday. The o, k, and to a lesser extent i and j keys on the on-screen software keyboard consistently recognized touch with a click and change in colour of the key but the letter would often not appear in any program. For o in...

Touch screen response issues?
In the past week or so, the touch screen response on my iPad Pro 11” (about 6 weeks old) has gotten terrible. Sometimes typing doesn’t respond at all.... swipes sometimes only partially work... it is super annoying. Rebooting doesn’t seem to make any real impact. It’s acting either like the...

Screen touch unresponsive on 2018 iPad Pro's?
My girlfriend just let me know that her screen on her 12.9 iPad Pro from 2018 was unresponsive for a solid minute today while at work. She knows nothing of the previous ordeals with the 2017 models. Does anyone else have this issue? This is with just the WiFi model, not the LTE one.

The previous case didn’t look as if would offer any structural protection and the new one looks about as bad in that regard. The iPad is lying on top of a magnetic sheet with 5 sides exposed.
I'd say no, just by seeing not its being used and/or holds the tablet. There's really little structure to the keyboard that would help - I'm just guessing, and I'm not a structural engineer
I am sure some Youtuber is bending a new Ipad Pro now. Ouch!11. Is it possible that Apple would produce a new model and not fix this bending issue?
Is it possible that it’s not really an issue to be fixed? They really don‘t bend from normal use.
Different issue, it happens during manufacturing. Apple admitted this, I think they fixed this during the previous generation.
