Looks like you did not read my First, Introductory Post I am not in United States, I am in India, and in India once a Product is sold unless and untill there is some problem with the working of device, like defect or fault under no circumstances is the product taken back, let alone any cosmetic variation.
Hence we all guys have just one bullet to fire and it has to go and hit bulls eye hence all this Trauma Causing Headache and problems, Apple has left us high and dry !! For a 2% Market Share Apple does not need India as much as it needs China !!
So there is always a step, secondary treatment that India gets from Apple, and the Indian Government aswell is not making life any easy for Foreign Companies like Apple to do Business in India. Having said that, there are Companies like Samsung who do not mind obliging with what the Indian Government says. But from a Consumer Stand Point it is a very sorry state of affairs. The Indian Government message to people like us is, very simple, you guys make about 1-2% of consumer strata in India, for some Ultra Niche and Luxurious Customers like you We cannot see our Majority of Indian Brothers in Manufacturing and Retail Market Suffer. If Apple has to sell its American Products in this Country it better sells it at our terms and conditions, we cannot give them any favorable company status as Europe and Australia gives it. China is a different story. Apple literally bows, dances at the Tunes of China !! China is such a super power in front of U.S
The real issue here is, and many still dont get it unfortunately, is that the LTE models all have minor bend at the shorter end of the iPad on both sides. This issue has been well acknowledged by Apple themselves as well. They have indicated in their release notes that slight minor deviations are to them normal.
Hence back to original poster question as to whether or not the bend will be rectified, that is hard to tell. And I would like to know as well.
You’re being blatantly deceptive in order to perpetuate a lie.
Apple has never stated fault, let alone that “the LTE models all have minor bend”. This is a false claim and you know it.
So what’s the motivation? Your own justification for not having the new iPad? Your budget? Or are you simply dedicated to trolling, despite many showing these claims are wildly exaggerated? People don’t just lie for no reason, and here you are on a forum, spouting off a falsehood in an attempt to garner support for a false claim you’re standing behind.
Frankly that’s just pathetic, no matter the reason.

Buying into a fabricated frenzy is a waste of your time. Go buy your iPad and enjoy it rather than listening to all the bluster and nonsense coming from people that clearly have their own bias and agenda against Apple, the new iPad Pros, or are simply here as agitators to troll and sow lies for their own entertainment.
I honestly don't see what the issue is here.
Buy the iPad and check it in store. If its not bent then keep it. If it is then return on the spot.
Manufacturing date has nothing to do with anything - if Apple were to tweak the process or use a harder material for instance, they will have yet another lawsuit to deal with. Imagine the number of people who will want to return their 'defective' iPad for one of the 'newer' ones'...….

The main issue seems to be reading skills.
They've stated, multiple times now, that in their country it's not as simple as just returning it to the store. There is no Apple Store, no 14-day return window and a cosmetic defect isn't enough to get your money back. They get one chance to get a "perfect" iPad. If it's not perfect (but still operational), too bad, it's yours now.
THAT is why this person is jumping through so many hoops.
So how will you get the manufacture date on an iPad without the iPad serial number etc?
In your first post you state you will wait a full quarter before you make your purchase.
You will then check the production date.
But what's the point of checking the production date if you've already made the purchase? You may as well check that the ipad is perfectly straight at that point, no??
Im done with this thread. Honestly I find this way over the top to the point where its silly.
Just my opinion of course.

I think you are from a Predominantly English Speaking Country and English as your First Language and yet you seem to have problems understanding simple English. Did you even read correctly what I said?? I said 3 Months down the line when I decide to purchase I will first check the Production date and then pay Money and ask the store guy to open the Box, Now please don't tell me that you dont know this, that just for the serial number you do not need to buy the product, it is already printed on the box, So I will ask the store guy to show me whatever stock he is got of my Variation, take the serial number printed on that box go to chipmunk site and then see what date manufacturing it is, Simple. What was so difficult for you to not understand in this ? All this without making the purchase, without handing over the money and without opening the Box, once I pay the Money and the Box is open no power in this world will be able to help me for a bent issue, Not even the Late Steve Jobs with respect to a Apple Product purchased in India.
Hope this clears your doubt !!

Rather then get personal with your sarcastic comments, I'll stick to topic.
So you check production batch, but the underlying fact is that this may not have any impact whatsoever on whether the actual unit is bent or not. No?
So the only way you can actually be sure is to open the box....
Seriously, you're going way OTT.

And to get a Brand New Sealed Box of a 11" iPad Pro opened in India is make full Payment. With No Guarantee of Return ?? Infact no return or exchange for a cosmetic deviation !!
Who will take the risk ? will you take risk for your 1,000/- GBP ?
You know I was lucky enough back in last week of Jan I was inquiring with a Reseller and he showed me a Box which was a January Manufactured Product itself. So looks like only recently manufactured Products seem to be coming, but the Irony is right now through out India, Apple Distributors are not getting stock from Apple India to give it to the Resellers. So They are saying it is a long waiting list, so seemingly all the products coming in right now in India are Fresh Baked Factory Released Products. Hope this case also remains till March-April when I set out to buy. Fingers Crossed !!
