Amaya Toman The "bendgate" affair with Apple has been going on for several years. In the past, for example, it was an affair in connection with the bending iPhone 6 Plus, in 2018 it was again about the iPad Pro. At the time, Apple said in this regard that the bending of its tablet does not interfere with its use, and that it is nothing that users should be concerned about.

The 2018 iPad Pro reportedly only bent when a certain amount of force was applied to it, but some users reported bending even when carefully carrying the tablet in a backpack. Apple eventually proceeded to replace selected affected tablets, but many owners of slightly bent tablets did not receive compensation.

This year's iPad Pro, which Apple introduced this month, features the same aluminum chassis as its predecessor. Apparently, Apple made no effort to equip this year's iPad Pro with a more durable construction, so even this model bends easily. YouTube channel EverythingApplePro has released a video that clearly demonstrates that bending this year's iPad Pro is no problem at all. It took only a little effort to bend the tablet itself in the video, and when more pressure was applied, the tablet even broke in half and the display cracked.
Bending such expensive electronic devices is certainly not okay, regardless of whether or not it affects the functionality of the product. Apple has always stated that the design of its products is one of the main pillars for it, which contradicts the downplaying of the aforementioned bending. Tablets are mobile devices – people take them with them to work, school and on trips, so they should last a while. While Apple solved the "bendgate" affair with the iPhone 6 by creating a more durable construction for the next iPhone 6s, there was no change in construction or material for this year's iPad Pro. It's not yet certain to what extent bending is widespread in the latest iPad Pros, and the company has not commented on the video.
I will NEVER understand what these idiots are up to. Destroy a thing for x tens of thousands for nothing. This is how any paddle, no matter who made it, can be bent. Weak power? When I see how the moron's fingers are turning white, it's clear that it's not the strength of a teacup, but he did a good job. Just the same depravity as all the other videos where brainless people dispose of new and nice things. Absolutely zero telling value. 99,99% of NORMAL users will not have this happen, barring an unfortunate accident.
Complete agreement. It can be seen that it takes up a lot and I would prefer to slap him for destroying such a wonderful tablet.
I thought exactly the same thing, I watched his thumbs bent at the joint by 180 degrees. Slowly, it was a red soaked skin - say "too easy" LOL.
Although I don't watch such videos, it shouldn't be possible to bend the tablet in a bag. For that money, put a simple reinforcement there and there would be no cracking.
However, if a couple of smart people who bend a tablet will provoke a reaction that the devices will be more useful, then why not.
He earns 100 times more on Youtube than the tablet cost him :-)
Damn bendgate. But the Files app is absolutely not working. I can't browse the files at all, and it's also not possible to browse the location when attaching an attachment to an email. What is kuwa? I can't work at all. I have an iPad 2018. It's really bugging me.
Format the tablet. Everything normally works 100% for me.
