Thank you based Apple

That’s the new iPad pro. Written from a 1st gen iPad Air from 2013 using iOS 12.1.
Are Samsung or Huawei tablets this fragile too?

As much as I hate Apple, this is too much for me.

Yes, and they have worse software support.

Yeah, you can expect any thin tablet to be easy to fold. Doesn't matter cuz its never gonna happen on accident. You're way more likely to drop it in water or crack the screen.

>Intentionally tries to bend it
>it bends

Wow imagine my shock

>barely puts any pressure on it when bending it
>it bends

Yes, when I pay $1000 for a product, I also expect it to be structurally weak.

The problem with this iPad in particular is that there's no skeleton to support the weak points in the metal (cut outs for pen and microphone), which could lead to it warping from being dropped on a carpet or from the pressure of being in a student's work bag.
Yes thin tablets are more likely to bend than phones, but considering my iPad 2018 model (non-pro), which uses the older chassis, is perfectly stable and can hold up 100x better to such pressures is a big, big red flag to Apple's current design.

Yes apparently it is equally bad.

>doesn't matter
it bends if you put inside a backpack

Couldnt you just put the ipad in a hard case?

Holy shit the butthurt on that Apple shill

>yet another necessary Apple accessory that will add another $100 to the cost of the item

Yay! :D

Even that took much more force (visibly) than the new iPad to bend, and yeah this guy is an armlet compared to Jerry but you can see the same results from EverythingApplePro (who did the same thing to his iPad, bent just as easily and is also twink-mode.)

I’m keeping my ancient iPad air after this even when there will be no more software updates for the OS. Apps should still update in theory.

Very smart and pragmatic, thank you based user.

Depends on what's in the bag. I've put my very thin tablet in a backpack before. Hasn't bent yet.

>Are Samsung or Huawei tablets this fragile too?
Can't speak of Huawei (never seen one IRL let alone held one) but I repair Samsung shit for a living and yes, they are this fragile.

What the hell is the point of making it thinner if you have to stick it inside a fucking kevlar vest to make it not bend

It doesn't bend, it folds. Apple BTFO'd Samsung again, launching the first foldable device

The point is so it doesnt break in half. I mean its like 1100 dollars and runs a toy os. Needing a case is hardly the biggest problem hete

>imagine defending any brand at all this hard and playing it off as "just a prank bro"
Good thing tablets are dead and this particular instance doesn't mean much.

I don't know about Huawei, but I had a cheap chink Chuwi W10/Android combo tablet that was built like a tank. I ended up giving it to my parents and I'm sure it's still fine.

Looks like the Applel shills are here. My Surface Pro 4 doesn't bend in half, runs desktop Linux, and can run any x86 software I need. Enjoy your gimped, foldable ARM toy that runs a poorly scaled phone OS.

Fuck.

this, I also have an old iPad 2 that I broke many years ago and that thing will NOT bend just trying to use my hands like in the iPad Pro video, apple is jewing their customers hard by skimping on build quality.

I have a laptop too.

Looks delicious !

Underrated.

Cool stuff man!

Tablets are dumb and gay
To think that netbooks died for this

Better for porn, better for ebooks. Netbooks were always dumb.

Thank you.

Yes I use it mainly for that.

It was my privilege

I have the original iPad Pro and I think I could probably bend it with my hands if I tried. This looks fucking frightening though. What confuses me is why they don’t run carbon fiber spars lengthwise like in a wing of a plane. This shouldn’t be an issue. I’d like to know what their structural analysis process even is. Btw I’m not upgrading because iOS file management sucks ass but this is just another reason not to upgrade.

They could make the whole back from carbon fiber instead. Add a curve to it. Problem solved.
