What I find is that over time, your style of working can and will evolve to minimise the downsides of those workarounds, to the point where they sometimes don’t pose an issue anymore. For most part, I just find it more convenient to sync my files via Dropbox or fling them around via airdrop rather than connecting and unplugging physical drives.

Imagine doing anything as laborious and time consuming as attaching a phone or tablet to a cable attached to a laptop :)
 
And apple would follow their example. Innovation. Premium...at premium price. Speaking on bending...actually a foldable phone have been announced. At least apple discovered bendable concept unintentionally.

Exactly. Apple has been copying from the true innovators, Samsung and Huawei, for years. It’s like these Apple fans think their wasn’t a touchscreen phone before the iPhone! The iPhone was inevitable and they really just got lucky. Without the true innovation of Samsung, they would never be where they are today. Good luck with your iPad’s that snap like pencils! Lolololololol.
 
I can’t disagree; mine’s flopping around perfectly as expected.

:p That one is very agile.
 
400 microns = 0.015748 inches. That photo shows a device bending an order of magnitude more than the spec value. I am starting to think this is a hit piece as part of a large stock manipulation agenda.

You’re absolutely nailing it.:D
 
I am not invested or distressed. The over exaggeration on this site is crazy though so I feel I should speak up. I buy a product if it’s qualify and if it’s not, I won’t. I haven’t experienced any quality issues with this iPad so I don’t personally think the entire product is flawed. Taking it personal would be stomping my feet and crying to the internet instead of just returning the bad product and getting a new one and moving on. Did you personally have a bent iPad?

Says the guy that feels nothing ever is wrong with any Apple product......and I have been here for years......:rolleyes:
 
Tell the truth, you werent ever going to be buying an iPad Pro at all :)

Galaxy users tend not to... ;)

If only a psychic could channel Steve Jobs, he would be firing everyone responsible for this after running them through the most humiliating gauntlet of insults and making them pay for replacing every single one they recall or refund.

One positive for the bend - it would wrap around my belly when I fall asleep and keeps me warm at night.
 
The picture used by MR is not one out of the box as have been said/proven before, he/she had it in a backpack while travelling.

Shouldn't matter either way. I've traveled (according to American Airlines) equal to 3 times around the world this year with my Gen 2 10.5" iPad Pro in my backpack. It's still as flat as the day I bought it. THIS should be the expectation.

If only that were true. I’ve said on the topic that Apple is wrong here and they botched this whole thing. I just don’t think it’s the end of the world. I’m sure you, as a staunch Android defender with no experience on the subject, have plenty to say about it though. That sounds about right for this site.

Hahah i know?! Right? Apple thought they discovered touch sensitivity technology by touching themselves. Hahahah good luck.

Android defender? Hahah who’s defending. You should change your profile without a sunglasses on and check the thread again. Hahah. Nobody mentioned about defending samsung.
[doublepost=1545515839][/doublepost]
The iPad Pro is bent because it’s CEO is bent.

Change your ways Apple or you will become the fastest #1 hated company in the 21st Century
Stop complimenting the guy with dark sunglasses on this thread. He takes too much pride in apple. Too much compliment would probably encourage more bending.

Exactly! You know what I’m talking about. Everything you hear about Apple on this site is 100% fact. Every iPad is bent out of the box or it WILL be bent at some point. These sheeple are so blind to Apple it’s ridiculous. If only they listened to people like you.

Exactly. Everything from apple is 100 percent scientifically and methodologically proven...by their words.

That’s because he has his shades on. Go figure.
 
the question is , why do they bend or why are they bending?
is it because of the material that apple used or is it because the same old obsession with making the next generation thinner

that is what I will like to know

maybe apple is using recycled bananas to make the new ipads, that's why they come out with a curved

now seriously, stop being cheap apple , you charge a pretty good price for your devices
you have no excuse to give people old obsolete hardware or defective devices

unless you are greedy and you want to maximize your profit

apple is going for profit and not for market share value
we just can't ship junk

the new apple is doing everything wrong, all the opposite of what they should really do

is just a matter of time

everything that goes up must come down, unless you are out of space
but we are on planet earth

can't wait for Tim to go away

Because that’s the ONLY way anything negative can possibly be said about Apple, right?

These threads are getting out of control with others lashing out at each other and acting juvenile. It’s really really simple, if you don’t like Apples response to the bending and the potential to receive an iPad that _might_ be bent, then you don’t purchase it, that’s not hard to understand.

And if you are someone that has received an iPad, and you’re not happy with it due to a slight bend, then contact Apple and see if they will permit a return/exchange. Apple isn’t going to change their ways based off others strong vocal opinions on here and Tim Cook isn’t resigning, so either you accept the way Apple is or you move onto another tech manufacturer that you want to spend your money on else where. Period.
 
Ive and Timmy have their fingers in their ears saying "LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU !!!"

Apple with Steve Jobs... insanely Great
Apple without Steve Jobs... just insane

Their arrogance has to stop. There is no way I'd accept a bent iPad Pro. I'd open the box, see the bend and say, no thanks. And if they refused to exchange it without any fees to me then they will lose a customer for life. Do it right, or I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I can tell you are trying really hard but at some point you have to admit to yourself that unless you are stupid or paid to act like nothing happened, the reality distortion field is gone with the man that invented it.
I got the 12.9 and in my case is fine but no way I’m using it same way I use my air2 as ths thing will end up bent for sure due to how flimsy and thin it is. I accept that fact as I use it for work and helps in the process but acting like earth is flat doesn’t speak well of anybody trying to bend FACTS.
 
On top of A12X Bionic SoC, the new Apple iPad Pro also redefined a micron as a unit of measurement.

Revolutionary.

Wrong. Voicing opinion about what is or isn't acceptable is a great way to tell a company you don't approve for their ridiculous response to this issue. You're what we call a "lay down". Pathetic.
