So no more made up, illogical excuses.
OK Mr. To expect perfection is as ignorant as it gets.

No, there’s just no reason to discuss it when you are using YouTube videos as some sort of proof, saying that iPads are bending by themselves and babies. You have no explicit knowledge of what caused the issue. You can use my quote if you want, but at least use it with the correct context, specifically about manufacturing.

Well you on the other hand have absolutely nothing to prove your claim that the new ipads are not structurally weak. You don't agree but like always can't provide one single plausible/logical argument(not to mention any kind of links of any kind).
So absolutely noting vs something visual and easy to understand(the guy in the clip managed to deform the 2018 by garbing it with one hand and very gently squeezing it, yeah that's proof of how structurally strong that ipad is).

My personal experience with the product hasn't given me any indication that the product is less structurally sound than any other iPad I have owned. I throw it in my backpack day in and day out to bring it to the office, no issues, no bends. Those videos can show whatever they want through a number of different ways, I am honestly a bit surprised that you would buy it. Either way, we both have no proof of what the issue is, just personal experiences and youtube videos. Apple stated it's from a manufacturing process, so I'll trust that and consider my own experience as well.
 
Oh so still no proof.

And I'm not interested in your irrelevant experience. I'm talking about things that are obvious to the naked eye so I want to hear why aren't these new ipads less structurally sound than the older models(especially the 2015 version)? Objectively, with real arguments that make sense. I bet you don't know.

Trying hard not to sound like an apple apologist here, but honestly does anyone care about you and your brick iPhone? Why are you wasting your time telling us about it?

My iPhone does not have those problems. Maybe you should consider getting a battery replacement if it is such an issue for you.

With that kind of response, the same could be said about anything anyone says, including you.
"Does anyone care about you and your responses? Why are you wasting your time responding to me about it?"

And in all hilariousness, I actually got 1 like, versus your zero. Hopefully my post is read by someone who feels sorry for you and gives you a like. Oh wait... I just did.

That is cute, I got your attention just like I wanted.
 
Always read the patent info.

Apple's unapproved APPLICATION is another example of Apple's sometimes awkward way of dealing with temperature, from not having enough cooling in computers, to having the iPhone simply stop dead and put up an over/under temperature warning. (I think a lot of it is due to Apple devices being designed in temperate California, similar to the way that British cars never seem to understand the need for really cold air conditioning.)

First off, lighting up a small section of an OLED panel is not gonna put out much heat. Heck, most of you have had full white screens.... did you notice any heat coming off your display? The entire panel uses less than a Watt, so a small radius curve section is likely to use so little power that it would take a long time at full output to raise the temp a few degrees. Nothing like walking around with a phone with its edge in constant brilliance, either.

Secondly, a primary intent of the patent application is to suggest adding electromagnetic locks to prevent opening/closing the panel. Yeah, that would make users happy, being unable to open or store away their phone if it got too cold. Nice.

As for the naive notion that Samsung isn't aware of temperature effects, knowledgeable people understand that Korea gets both very hot and very, very COLD. Which is why we see APPROVED PATENTS such as this one filed before Apple's application:

Now, who in their right mind would go out of their way to force a fold-able phone to bend in cold/frozen weather ? If their is resistance, you "know" why. don't you ?

(Maybe you don't?) *shrugs*
