\nApple\u2019s new iPad Pro may be the last great tablet, but you\u2019d be wise to handle it carefully. Apple\u2019s critical darling appears to bend pretty easily under the right amount of pressure, which you might expect but is no less visceral to watch.
This observation comes courtesy Zack Nelson, the YouTuber behind popular product review channel JerryRigEverything. His latest durability test of Apple\u2019s new productivity-focused product\u2014which per his usual process involves trying to destroy it with sharp objects, force, and fire\u2014shows that it takes minimal pressure to render the product essentially useless.
\u201cA tablet the size of a piece of paper folds like a piece of paper,\u201d Nelson says. \u201cThe iPad Pro is a thin, ridgeless aluminum sack with no structure holding things together. Like tinfoil wrapped around mashed potatoes.\u201d
Ouch.
As Nelson points out, the product\u2019s ability to bend somewhat easily could be a problem for people carrying their tablet in their backpack with other large or heavy objects, reports of which have already surfaced. As was the case with the iPhone 6 Plus during 2016\u2019s Bendgate, this could also be an issue if you sit on it (which seems considerably less likely given the sheer size of the iPad Pro).
Nelson tested out the 11-inch display, the smaller of Apple\u2019s iPad Pro models. And it\u2019s safe to assume that if the 11-inch bends this way, the 12.9-inch version definitely does too. According to Nelson, \u201cthe iPad Pro just doesn\u2019t have any of that structural integrity stuff.\u201d
If product destruction porn is your jam, the rest of the video is pretty interesting as well, particularly if you have an itch to see the guts of either the iPad Pro or the Apple Pencil.
The takeaway here is that you should probably be mindful of the way you treat a tablet that can run you nearly a grand or more, depending on storage and display size. At the very least, put a case on it. And definitely don\u2019t try to bend it.<\/p>\n
