Apple Claims Bent iPad Pros Are Totally Normal

Some new iPad Pros are coming with a slight bend in the case. Apple insists that the bend is totally normal and nothing to worry about. If you end up with such a unit, we recommend returning it immediately.

Apple is bent.

Totally normal! :wink:

Samsung recently debuted a folding phone. Maybe bending is “one more thing?”

Riccio claims Apple’s “tight” manufacturing tolerance is 400 microns. Well judging by Josh’s picture and others I’ve seen on the web (eg. the one attached), that looks to me like a whole lot more than 0.4 mm.

The iPad is 5.9 mm thin, judging by the picture that is nearly 2 mm bend.
