Yep, the iPad Air 2 bends. A lot.

OK, so you’re probably not going to put your iPad Air 2 in your pocket or apply this much pressure under any normal circumstances, but the ease with which this thing can be bent is still at least a little bit unexpected. Lots more space means lots more leverage.

So this guy did it, that means its over, right? Move along

      Pretty sure if I twisted his stupid little neck with that much force, it’ll snap too. Shame he doesn’t come with a replacement warranty, but who needs trash like this anyway?

    Thin aluminum without a decent chassis will bend. It’s not rocket science. You want thinner and lighter, you get the tradeoff. What a waste of an expensive tablet. Quite stupid.

      While this guy is jack ass – this is a message to Apple to stop making these devices any thinner – the iPhone 6/6+ and iPad2 are at the limit right now – there are as thin as the lightning cable – not much more to go

    I think the real story here is that it still ‘worked’ after that…

    If anybody else out there is thinking about destroying their perfectly good iOS devices in the name of making a “bend test” video, how about just donating them to somebody who needs one? Or ship it over to me, I’ll take care of it for you.

    The only thing worse than attention whores hoping to make a buck off a YouTube video, are attention whores posting articles linking to said YouTube video.
