Apple’s latest iPad ships with a little bend and Apple says it’snot a manufacturing defect, its normal.
Apples new iPad pro ranges in price from $799 for the base 11-inch model up to $1,899 for a fully-loaded 12.9-inch device with 1TB of storage and LTE connectivity. According to apple, the little bend is the result of the cooling process involving iPad Pro’s metal and plastic components during manufacturing. Many users on social media and MacRumors forum states that their iPad pro developed a slight bend without putting any stress or pressure.
When The Verge approached Apple for comment, the company told the publication that the bending 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.”Apples itself says that it’s not manufacturing defect, so it won’treplace the iPad Pro under warranty.
