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
German Idiot.
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…
FU STUPID IDIOT
I have made also a bend test – trying to bend it from the back! Put a lot of force on it and nothing happend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvifCzuXnqs&list=UULCfvl6nYLG6bW5lkzYBkgQ
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.
