So the 2017 Pros will develop a bright spot on the display, and the 2018 Pros will just come bent. It’s hilarious that both of these stories were published today here. Good ****ing god, Apple.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Says Some 2018 iPad Pros Ship Bent, But It's Normal and Not a Defect

They are not producing it correctly, but it's okay, YOU are just unboxing it wrong.
Yes, in our local computer forum we talked about this iPad problem for months. And I also found the white spot on an iPad demo unit in HK Apple Store.
What the **** is wrong with them

People. Don’t be dumb. Apple is selling you bs excuse. It is a design flaw.
These iPads aren't "bent" they are "curved". Future curved models will be priced at 1.5x "standard" iPads.
Ah, thanks for the clarity Apple. It’s part of the manufacturing process so it’s okay. But only some depending on cooling and not all because they were cooled down properly? And, if it’s kinda bent out of the box it’s okay - but if it bends more after return period, it has nothing to do with it being already bent originally. Awesome! Thanks Apple - so we shouldn’t expect the next version of iPad Pros to be “reinforced” because there’s nothing wrong with bending.
I guess the Reality Distortion Field didn't die with Steve after all.
But apple grew to love your wallet.
yours is bent bro just accept it
Imagine if other companies got away with this.
"Completely normal, nothing to see here. Move along!"

Oh my god Samsung corporate has got to be tossing themselves off right now.
What an embarrassing reasoning.
Maybe, just maybe, discover a "manufacturing process" that does not produce a bent iPad?

They sure did. I can't justify their products anymore.
They try to cultivate a reality distortion field still, but none of the leaders are charismatic enough to make it work. Schiller comes closest but he's being rushed out the door it seems.
Were you guys able to come up with an idea as to why it’s happening, and whether or not it’s inevitably going to happen to all of them? Trying to decide if it’s worth keeping the one I bought a month ago from Best Buy, I have until January to return it.
Uh oh...how on earth do they think they are going to be able to get away with this one. iPhone 6 was a little awkward for a few people...but did not ship bent.
When it cools straighten the frame before assembly of the rest apple don’t bull **** us get your QC in place and man it up
Maybe because if the iPad is in a backpack, one should use more caution if the iPad is stacked between other hard objects. It’s common sense.
Same lmaooo just like how a “small number of our customers are impacted” riiiight.
Their fluff is insane.
a "side effect of the manufacturing process".....**** that noise, Tim Cook needs to go.
And what's even funnier is all the heat those in the iPad forum took for saying they did not bend their new iPP and it all happened by itself. Some where even insinuated to be liars. The one's to blame are the Apple design team who designed these iPad's in such a way that they are subject to bending on their own. Add insult to injury and these new iPad Pro's start around $799.
I just bought a 2018 iPad from Amazon for $229 and it has no bends on the chassis.

So I went into the Apple Store with Face ID issues and the store accused me of acedently damaging my iPad Pro 12.9 inch. Eventually they agreed to order a replacement unit, when it finally came we opened the Box and low and behold it was also bent. So the store ordered another and then it came.... also bent!
Brings to mind the old joke about Microsoft Windows. "That's not a bug, it's a feature."
My God, this is absolutely ridiculous.
