M4 iPad Pro Bend Tests: Durability Equal to M2 Model Despite Thinness

I'm glad they use the Apple Logo as a heat sink and I assume it radiates to the entire body. This is good because my M1 Mac runs too cold when it's on my lap. Those M series chips are ridiculous.

That’s likely one other reason why Mac folks want macOS in an iPad form factor. While some don’t like the coating on the iPad Magic Keyboard, it’s still nowhere near as cold as the bottom of a MacBook Air.

To do it PROPER, to do it for SCIENCE, they shouldn’t do all the deformations on a single iPad. They should start with a new one each time. Since all the stresses are compounded, by the time they finally got it to bend, it’s due to already being weakened.

100% right but these influencers aren't willing to invest quite that much into the schtick I guess.

A lot of them end up this way. Once they pass the 0.5-1M followers mark they think they're super celebrities. Like at Linus and Marques Brownlee.

They start attacking the hand that fed them to become "popular"
Look at Marques Brownlee. He hasn't posted an iPad review. Just an "impression" in which he seemed "attaching" Apple.

I am sure if it wasn't;t for Apple, Marques Brownlee wouldn't have as many followers today.

I don't know how much of him you watch, but MKB is pretty fair to Apple; praises the good, and calls out the bad.

But Linus, yeah he's transparently making clickbait. Since all his drama last year, LTT has made far fewer preachy troll videos, but that just means that everything is super boring and irrelevant. But hey, at least we don't have to watch him renovate his house (and presumable write it off as a business expense).

No, they break them in the name of getting views.

What?!? No way... 😏😁
