    Wow, what a rant. When I heard how thin the iPad Pro was, I started to wonder about how easy it was going to be to bend or break it, as I still remember the iPhone 6 “bendgate.” My next thought was, surely some YouTubers would try to bend and break it and report back: they have the budget to do that. And they did. And I’m glad. What exactly is wrong here?
    So how do you feel about apple’s “crush” ad?

    I don’t know about puiz666 but I’m still trying to figure out what was so offensive about the crush ad.
    As for YouTubers trying to bend iPhones/iPads etc., meh!!!! I’m pretty sure Apple doesn’t care as long as the cash keeps flowing in.

    WHAAAATTTTT????? If you really try hard to bend/break/blend a new iPad, it will in fact bend/break/blend???*

    I for one AM SHOCKED. This is an appalling fail from Apple. Thank goodness for these YouTubers revealing the SECRET TRUTH that Apple tried to HIDE from consumers!!**

    *Hey, where IS the “will it blend” fellow in all this??

    **YouTuber “Apple destruction porn” is utterly worthless as a consumer evaluation tool. Trained personnel doing scientific tests on durability is both more accurate and of much more value in determining the structural strength of the product.

    The question is, how many of these youtubers bought AppleCare on the device and now file a fraudulent claim of "accidental" damage?

    That it’s entirely stupid to be upset about an insignificant silly ad

    Maybe I’m just an old fart, but I can’t help but think how stupid the testers are when considering their own safety. Putting all that stress on thumbs and fingers adjacent to a glass surface made me cringe. When shattering, tempered glass like this can produce really sharp shards. Gloves would’ve been prudent.
