These will still bend cause they are 5.9mm THIN people! even with 7000 series aluminum they will bend, (*not as easily, but nonetheless they would still bend.) I'll tell you why... Because Science/Physics. Ha ha ha

iPad Pro iPad Pro's bending issue (merged)

No one denies that these tablets can bend. But the discussion is about: do they bend under normal use or not?
And even with your 'physics' argument: There is nothing to prevent Apple to design it in such a way that it has some internal braces at the appropriate points (because science/physics
).

Reason i ask is we all bought this crazy thin cool tablet but some put these super thick cases on them. Me i dont use cases. But i wonder would some rather have apple just build ipads tougher from the beginning?
There are numerous threads already in this forum about iPads being prone to bending and being to thin. Do you want to start this whole discussion all over again?
EDIT: This post was initially in a separate thread started by Ratsaremyfreinds in #1,703 and was merged by the moderators.

He has a point - the bending issue sticky thread has over 1,700 posts so the subject has been beaten to death and revived many times.

Being called out for repeating an already discussed topic is just fair. It doesn’t matter that others made similar mistakes. Just apply best practices and add your comments to the existing discussions after using the search to see if the topic of desire already exists. That’s basics of Internet forums and saves the mods a massive amount of time.
Don't delete the thread. It's a valid topic since people are still experiencing bent iPads.

They never said they are fixing it though. They basically said “yeah this happens, it’s not a problem. Not sorry”Here you go:
Apple Says Some 2018 iPad Pros Ship Bent, But It's Normal and Not a Defect
Shortly after the new 2018 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models shipped out to customers, some MacRumors readers found bends in their tablets....www.macrumors.com
Apple confirms some iPad Pros ship slightly bent, but says it’s normal
Apple’s newest iPad Pro might have a small bend out of the box.www.theverge.com
Yes, and as actual owners have been telling everyone here, no, they do not bend under normal use.

Yeah, but they did say it is a result of the manufacturing proces, not physical pressure from users during regular use. So, no one’s denying some users got bent iPads out of the box. The question is - does it bend under normal use? My experience says - no. Most users here say no. Apart from people actually trying to bend them intentionally, no reviewer, blogger or art streamer had issues.
A lot of people saying these iPads bend are not actual owners. Again, not talking about people who received them bent. Those people hopefully got them replaced or returned them.

That is your opinion. Other actual users told the opposite.
Why do you think this thread is so long? Maybe try to see both sides for a change.
Sure, of course it is just an opinion. But still, most of the people here claiming they bend are not actual users, you can't deny that. You also can't deny this issue is literally non-existent in the media outside people intentionally bending them for views. Apple also didn't see necessary to change anything structurally on the new model (unlike iPhone), and if their numbers told them a lot of users used their AppleCare+ because of bending, or if the general impression was they were bending, they would fix them.
But, yes, even with all that, it is just an opinion. It is my opinion that this issue is way overblown. But that doesn't mean there is no logic behind that opinion.
I don't deny anything. You assume that I do.
Just as you assume that your point of view is somehow more valid than others.
I prefer to see both sides of the coin. But hey.. whatever makes you happy.
Not really, but I do assume personal experience is more valid than trusting YouTubers looking for clicks (without that personal experience).
But I agree my views are just personal opinions.
Let me ask you - what is your opinion? Do you think these iPads bend under normal use? (And I’m not asking if you think they are weaker or whatever - I am specifically asking whether you think they bend under regular use or not). And on what are you basing your opinion? I am genuinely curious.
YEP IT STILL BENDS...STICKING WITH THE IPAD AIR 3 FOR NOW! Shame apple...i was going to get one...but nope the one thing i wanted you to fix, and you couldent be bothered to fix...your loss my savings! Shame on you! Im sure Steve Jobs would be just as annoyed as i am!
The iPad does bend easily. I do not care if some people ”only use it at home” or are “careful with their products” that doesn’t mean it doesn’t bend easily. Mine got bent in a backpack, while travelling. All apple has to do is to use stronger metal series like common sense would dictate but they are too greedy to spend more on materials.
Posting this out of boredom.
13months old iPad 11” wifi only
Use it daily as my sole computing device
70% use with ASK or knock-off folio case
30% use naked / no case
Treating it like how i regularly use any other iPad i had before
Always in a padded backpack when i travel with it
No bend so far. Still flat as day 1
Will it bend if i put excessive force on it? Of course! Its only 5.9mm. Can’t defy physics.
Will it bend by itself? NO
For those who have a perfectly flat ipad pro. Im doing this for you. Im sure you all cant be bothered to do this. ?
Stay Heathy. Stay Safe.
