Remember when Zack Nelson fromJerryRigEverythinggot everyone worked up into a tizzyafter hebent an iPad Pro in halfwith his unembellished hand and mused whether Apple ’s new tablet might be a piffling debile ? Well , it seems he may have been onto something .
Originally , when Zack bent his iPad Pro , claims about potential design flaws were dismissed for the most part because his test did n’t precisely replicate a typical real - world scenario . But in the past month , a number of users on theMacRumors forumsand even a writer atthe Vergeran into issues with iPad Pros that bear witness signs of crouch either out of the box or presently after being purchased .
Now , Apple has respond to those report in a affirmation tothe scepter , state that while some user may see new iPad Pros with a slender crook to them , the flexure “ is a side upshot of the gadget ’s manufacturing mental process and should n’t worsen over sentence or negatively bear on the flagship iPad ’s execution in any practical way . ”

Apparently , small fold in a novel iPad Pro ’s physique are due to part of the cool down process used to make some of the tablet ’s charge card and Al components , with both the 11 - inch and 12.9 models susceptible to little amounts of bending . The novel iPads are much thin than previous rendering and the exceptional sparseness of the metallic element could have contributed to the gimmick ’ susceptibility to temperature .
While what Apple says may be true , the one thing that throws a turn of a wrench into the fellowship ’s explanation is that in mental picture of crumpled iPads , many of them exhibit some curving on or near one of the mike holes located on the prospicient side of the iPad Pro ’s organic structure — precisely where Zack Nelson said the pad seemed a weakest .
In its statement to the Verge , Apple says it has n’t seen an above median return rate for the new iPad Pro . Unfortunately , to make issue more or less more confusing , it seems that currently there ’s not a clear message as to whether drug user are entitled to return bent on iPads for brand name Modern devices , or if the bending is categorise as inadvertent damage and therefore open to an AppleCare title .
However , the most frustrative part about all this is thatwhen it was publish , the new iPad Pro ’s new ace - thin body was hailed as a gyration and a breakthrough in modern engineering . But with its durability now in question , one has to wonder if it really would have been that big of a deal to make the goddamn thing a little thicker ?
We ’ve give out to Apple for clarification and will update should we hear back .
