Despite its enormous popularity, the gadget smashing videos They are generally more morbid than useful for the ordinary user, but that does not mean that from time to time we discover quite curious things about some specific products that we would probably like to know.
This is the case of the video that concerns us now with nothing less than the new iPad Pro 2018 as protagonist. the famous channel JerryRigEverything has been in charge of mistreating the team Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in one of his popular recordings (he scratches it with desire and even burns it with a lighter), thus letting us discover an important weakness that it is worth knowing about your tablet.
And it is that, if you see the video that you have a little below, you will see that the tablet can be folded and completely destroyed with, apparently, not much effort. At the moment that Zack Nelson, owner of the channel, takes the iPad Pro 2018 with both hands and exerts a little strength, the device bends, until its screen bursts and some pieces jump out. The right point of the break occurs at the height of the microphone that the team has on the side, as you will see in the screenshot that you have on these lines.
It is true that although at first it seems difficult to bend an iPad with just your hands, we do not know exactly how the force exerted by Nelson on the equipment is. However, as they collect in The Vergethis video makes a disservice to the reputation of the product and its durability, a quality recently in question after the testimony of some users of the new Apple equipment.
Solidity issues on some iPads?
In some forums there are already threads in which it is said that the tablet is noticeably weaker than the previous generation, showing photos in which after a couple of days of use or simply having been transported in a backpack, the tablet is slightly bent. Some have even gone so far as to say that the iPad was already folded out of the box for the first time after your purchase.
Taking into account that we are talking about a high-end device and with a more than considerable price (its cost is 1.099 euros in its cheapest version within 12,9 inches), it would be intolerable that the structural integrity of the device was so weak as to bend when transported in a suitcase or with just a little pressure with the hands -it is true that if enough pressure is applied it is possible to bend a thin tablet given its large surface area, but we are considering a case extreme.
We will see if the uncovered cases remain isolated or if they end up tarnishing the end of the year for the apple firm.
Wow… unbelievable that such an expensive product is so fragile
