To anyone who believes this crap is too loyal to Apple engineering

(I'm joking before anyone takes this as an insult).
I'm a metallurgist, a mechanical engineer for a major aerospace company, and a business owner specializing in product design. I understand compromises have to be made to the product to ensure they dont weigh too much or cost too much. When I bought the iPad, I bought AC+ because I knew the metal was too soft and the chassis too thin. The device would inevitably bend because of its large size - the bending moment arm is simply too large on a 13" device that thin. It just irks me that for a $1200 "pro" device, more care wasn't taken in designing for strength, hardness, and portability knowing the device's physical limitations. I can't convince everyone, though. Unfortunately, not all of us have the luxury of plonking our iPads on a desk or couch and not moving them for their entire lifecycle. My devices (all of them) are quite babied to the extent I can, none of them have a single scratch, and all of them have beefy cases. All of them are taken with me all over the world on a daily basis for the past 10 years.
Only the big iPad bent. Wouldn't that bother you too?
The nature of the beast, I suppose.
