The fact you're trying to bend it and it takes so much force to get a slight bend is encouraging for us paranoid people who are worried about leaving it in our backpack.
Why??? Spend all that money to break them 😮what’s your point here when you should take care of your devices bc they do cost a lot of money put it in a case if you are worried about it bending on you Sam come on ❤😊
He’s doing for the views because these are the videos that get him the most views😂It’s sad you gotta break shit to get more likes than your normal content lol
@@newagehero9605 Yeah but tech is also expensive in itself,especially since this just came out. Again I get he earns his money back from views ect, but still that is not guaranteed each time. Overall never said it was good or bad but just earning a lot is not the factor for being able to break stuff, And regardless would hope Sam wants to save some money regardless!!
I’m seriously disappointed for the $300 price difference on the pros that we didn’t get titanium on the 5.1 mm 13 inch. I feel like titanium would’ve easily justified. The extra $100 price delta compared to the non-pros size relative costs and at the same time would’ve put the rest any reservations people had about durability. The fact that Apple just casually charges an extra $100 on the pros that are already more expensive just seems like a pure unapologetic cash grab.
This is all great fun, but in the real world many people are going to have some sort of semi-hard protective case on it and, when carrying it in a backpack or bag, it's never going to bend or get damaged. I've got a 2017 iPad Pro that I've packed tightly into a cramped backpack and taken it on dozens of flights and it's still in perfect condition.
It was painful to see iPads get destroyed. Nevertheless, thank you for the content and for informing us. And I must say, your content is getting better and better and you seem to really be finding your style.
I like how Sam added "for normal purposes that's the end of the test" because realistically who the hell is even accidentally putting this much physical pressure on an iPad without a case
The fact I'm sitting here watching this on my M4 iPad pro because my M1 ipad air bent after I did everything I could to prevent it, I always was like oh its bent when it wasn't, and one day it was. So this is encouraging
I always wondered how people were sitting on their phones and bending their iPads by accident. Nice to know it takes actual effort to break these devices.
In the days of the iPhone 4 I was in a bar and the woman next to me had a 4 that was severely bent. Like way, way more than these. The screen was separated and cracked. You could see the motherboard in the back. Yet she was using it like it was nothing. When she put it down on the bar you could see how extreme the bend was. Just incredible.
Can you make another video about whether you were able to bend them back into shape like nothing happened? I super hope you can because this makes me sad every time you do it.
You're awesome for doing this. A lot of people are probably afraid to get the new iPad because they think it'll break easily, but now they don't have to ~stress~ over it. Thanks Sam!!
God I hate these type of videos it just feels weird to watch people destroy perfectly good technology. It’s gonna break if you bend it. It’s only a piece of 5 mm metal.
Ayyy!!! Didn’t think you’d beat Jerry at it!!! Let’s see what his muscular nature shows us haha. By the way , You’re the only UA-camr who actually resonated with me whilst the apple even about the iPad pro’s new black dot above the flashlight. They removed UW cam and made LiDAR look like a second cam(kinda cheeky😂) but could it be that they increased the resolution of the scans by splitting the transmitter and the receiver ? I hope you look into it in your future video.
What’s with people infuriated over videos like this one? We should be thanking him. It is a great video that will help people understand how durable the iPad is. You may not bend your iPad but you will keep it in your backpack. Hell, even my M1 iPad Pro was bent in my backpack. I would’ve never purchased it had I seen a video like this one. But these new iPads are stronger no doubt.
This just may be me, but I think most people who are able to actually buy an iPad Pro wouldn’t really put their devices through such a test.. most iPad owners would keep them relatively safe and protected. Not sure of this bend test is necessary..
To be honest, even though these iPads are super expensive, it is worth the money. The build quality is good. You're getting dual display, tandem display, a good processor. It's just worth it than any other tablet out there. Samsung, you know, or so on. Apple is just the best. It's worth it.
If you have incidental damage, it covers anything you can break it literally in half. As long as you have the iPad and it matches your apple care+ it will be replaced after your deductible
I understand when you have a product that is really, really good, you need to find ways to refresh it to create demand for sales. But I'm honestly just baffled why Apple insists on making the design thinner. People would be much more interested in a thicker iPad that had more battery, more storage, more pencil options, more ports, more screen space, more audio enhancements, more software enhancements. Apple made a product that will sell in spite of it's new thin design, but nobody actually wanted it to be this thin.
What do you mean Sam? This is clearly a new feature from Apple called iBend. It’s been a thing since the iPhone 6 or 7. Now it’s on the iPad which is super exciting.
I don’t know anyone who would be willing to purposely bend an expensive device; That’s why the Magic Keyboard is aluminum to give it even more stiffness.
I really like your videos, always watch them! Only one small recommendation: keep doing some durability tests (loved the Apple Watch Ultra one) but try to keep them on “real” scenarios. Leave the bend tests to Jerry ;) it’s his thing
I know this is a bend test to test the durability of the iPads but it still hurts to watch especially knowing how expensive they can get 😂 If anything this taught me that the newer iPads takes a lot of pressure to bend. As long as the iPads have extra protection with the keyboard/folio, screen protector and well maintained, these newer iPads should last a long time.
I owned a 2nd Gen IPad Pro and kept it in my property and was very careful to look after it. With not a huge amount of use, the chassis bent very slightly (somehow) and it caused an issue with the power and it kept turning off and back on, before eventually failing to turn on. I took it to the Apple store Genius Bar and the guy admitted off-the-record that the chassis on the IPad Pro’s were prone to “bending”. It is my first poor experience with Apple who wanted to charge me £500 to replace my iPad as they said that it is impossible to repair because of the strong adhesive they use inside. Has this kind of thing improve in the latter iPad Pro’s? I am weary at forking out another £1000. Anyone else had anything similar?
Is there any chance you will do drop test with the new iPads in the Magic Keyboard and folio cases in my head I hate they are not covered in the corners but idk if they need to
Under what circumstances would the iPads be subjected to bending forces like these during use? It should ordinarily be in its folio or in your backpack or something normal like that. Unless if Spider-Man hurls it across the room maybe.
Sam was in line in front of me to get his iPad. Wearing the same outfit he did his video in. He was whisked to the VIP Table in the back. UA-camrs have their privileges at times. But i must say, Sam didn’t have his Private Security Guy or his Posey with him. Very down to earth. But he looks different facially in person than he does on camera. I set up my appointment so I had maximum chance of seeing other UA-camrs (being a IRL Lurker since I am too shy to really talk to them) But Sam was it. As opposed to when I went to get the iPhone 15. Music Pumping, UA-camrs and Professional Camera Rigs everywhere. This just shows iPad is not as big a deal to Apple. I am happy I got a smaller and lighter iPad for me to draw on. BUT if the new Software being introduced next month doesn’t significantly change the iPad Usefullness. This is conceivable my last iPad for the next 10 years.
Guys, I think it's quite obvious why he released this video. It's because this kind of videos usually rack up millions of views and UA-cam will pay him back many times more.
Apple launches anything and this guy is like waooo, amazing, unbelievable. How could this be possible! Incredible Even thought there is hardly any changes with the upgrades 🤣
That’s actually pretty good - Whatever they did with the spine it worked. Think that puts a lot of worries to bed. Even Jerry Rig couldn’t bend it Horizontally.
11:24 OLED is flexible unlike the Mini LED. So as long as nothing pokes the OLED screen, it will work perfectly even when bended.... Aka how foldable phones works.
Sam walks to an apple store and the vendor says *oh no... it's him, the tester!* hahaha you did it before Jerry I think. I solute you dude for the loses...
The fact you're trying to bend it and it takes so much force to get a slight bend is encouraging for us paranoid people who are worried about leaving it in our backpack.
Er….. ideally in a cover/case in a backpack
Unless it bends on the other side…
On this simple test - simple and better
Why??? Spend all that money to break them 😮what’s your point here when you should take care of your devices bc they do cost a lot of money put it in a case if you are worried about it bending on you Sam come on ❤😊

You’re the best, no one asked Apple to make iPads thinner, why didn’t Apple concentrate on making them more durable rather than thinner
Because they want you to easily break them to replace them and therefore get more money.
