Apple confirms some iPad Pros ship slightly bent, but says it’s normal

>Apple has confirmed to The Verge that some of its 2018 iPad Pros are shipping with a very slight bend in the aluminum chassis. But according to the company, this is a side effect of the device’s manufacturing process and shouldn’t worsen over time or negatively affect the flagship iPad’s performance in any practical way. Apple does not consider it to be a defect.

When will applefags learn

it's a feature goy stop kvetching and buy it

The Apple Mystique has already started to wear off, people aren't gonna fall for this bullshit like they did 5 years ago.
Apple's gotta realise this or they're gonna continue circling the drain of bankruptcy.

>$300b wiped off their value in the span of 2 months
I'm so happy this is actually happening.

>The Verge does a how to bend an iPad video
>literally unable to bend it, because The Verge
make it happen

to be honest here, if its not thx apple being shit at manufacturing this board would be dead, they basically provide us with material in a daily basis and are more fun and entertaining to watch.

>posts a gif of an ipad

Just got the new 2018 iPad Pro. I have to say, this is the best feeling iPad ever. Mine has a slight bend to it, but it actually perfectly countours the surface of my leg, making it very comfortable to use. I'd put this in the feature bin, really. Apple does it again. Even when they make a mistake, they end up making things better lol.

It just works.

just bend it back the other way.

love you man hallelujah

Fuckin shit

>It's a feature
At it's finest

>iPad Bend Pro

Yeah except it's happening to every single company.

Its way worse with Apple tho, their new phones are having poor sales.

HOW WILL THEY EVER RECOVER

Apparently people don't want to spend $1300 for very nearly what they already bought last year.

Because only the rich can afford a $1200 phone.

funny you say that given that most poor people buy them at an extra $40 a month on their bill

The absolute state

See the graph you just quoted, Apple is dropping 3-5x harder than industry average over the last 2 months, that is not a good look.

before early 2000 u couldn't get away with this shit and is considered as defect

fast forward to now this is normal practice.

wtf happen? i thought this shit would be non existence with consumer complaints on social media and shit.

So, it's literally a defect.
>Apple does not consider it to be a defect.
But they'll still replace it for free if you ask within 14 days?
If it's not a defect, why would you replace it?
They know this shit isn't acceptable and yet they're shipping it anyway because they also know most people won't hold them to account.

Because you can get 5 years of support from an iPhone. Meanwhile, Samshit doesn't update their phones, is teaming up with fake Supreme in Chinkland, and all the other Andropoo devices are copying Apples notch and lack of headphone jack, even smash it with A8s. You lost. Get over it.

thats like a doctor tells you that your broken leg is just fine

Holy shit this autism

when Apple removed the headphone jack people laughed
when Apple put a notch on the screen people laughed
in 2 years time almost all Android devices will be slightly bend.

Suck my pencilcock nigger

The bend makes the device gently and comfortably sit on your palm without causing unnecessary strain you goddam ignorants. Apple should charge more for the bent units, so consider yourself lucky if you get one.

i think apple has reached its peak, their products are becoming mediocre by the day especially the XR

Thinking about selling a piece of steel you attach to your iPad to stop it bending.
Would be ~$250
Thoughts?

When will they ever learn?

Kek, i had a friend who had a macbook pro 2010 back in the days. Ended up getting fucking electric shocks (the low voltage kind like running a 9V battery on your tongue), brought it to the apple store, didn't fix shit. His hard drive making a shit ton of clicking, brought it to the apple store, hurr durr it's a feature, nothing wrong. The trackpad clearly caved in, hold it upside down and it literally pops out of the socket, nothing wrong, we just tightened the screw, and he's back in 2 days later. The fucking display starts moving as soon as you hold the laptop at any vertical angle, hurr durr its normal, its a feature. At least he was smart enough to never buy another apple product.

Applecucks will defend this.
