Awesome, I always thought my 8mm thick phone was too clunky and heavy.
Seriously too thin is a thing and cam lead to all sorts of issues with bending and rigidity problems.
I mean the new iPad does way better in the bend test. There are ways around thin being weak, I just hope it isn’t a trade off for battery.
I don't think the results in the bend test are acceptable personally.
Because you can break it if you try? When would you be bending your iPad like that ever?
In any case, my comment wasn’t about the iPad at all, it was about the thinner iPad having better bend test results than the thicker iPad, and this video doesn’t disprove that.
The point is it's weaker than other companies equipment, and these tests are there to show that.
But thats not the point I’m contending so I’m not sure why you’re including it. Your original comment that I responded to is says that going thinner leads to more problems. In the case of this thinner iPad it has less bending and rigidity problems than its thicker predecessor.
I’m not arguing that iPads can’t be bent, or that apple products bend less than other companies, I’m arguing that you can make a thinner phone or tablet that bends less than a thicker tablet or phone. Especially with a phone.
