We can't do too much joking around because this is a serious show.

So I pretty much just read an article on Mac World saying that Ipads airbending?

I got the tweets, the people they reached out.

You may or may not know the whole bending of apple products.

People want meat away in a lot of people requesting that I talk about this.

Maybe there's some things that it always comes back to this conversation of how big of a deal is it?

It's the same kind of conversation that happened back in the day when the original iPhone bent the iPhone six.

The thing I like to talk about from this end of the spectrum, I'm not a brand.

I'm not Apple, so I'm always gonna advocate for the people.

If you are someone who is affected by this, I think you have a point.

and in the case of the original iPhone that bent Apple went back to the drawing board and switched their materials because they knew something was wrong, even though they didn't necessarily admit to it publicly.

In this case, I don't actually know the makeup of the alloy being used in the iPad.

What I do know is that it's impossibly slim, like that thing is crazy.

Yeah, you would probably have to use, like, a level.

How durable is anything that's this thin Like, of course, there's a common sense component, and that's always what the Apple fans get angry about.

They're like, Who's bending your bending?

You're just not taking care of it kind of thing.

What I've been reading online is the biggest culprit to these types of Ben's, In the case of the iPad is putting it in a backpack.

So some individuals, apparently they put the devices into a backpack, and the textbooks and other weight that you would typically have in a backpack was leaning up against it, and then they end up with a bent iPad.

You should be able to do that without having a bent.

Yeah, I can imagine, you know, being late for class or something, and then you just stuffing textbooks and iPads and you're in your bag.

It's pretty normal, but the fact that they you know, our bending just like that it's It doesn't make you feel comfy with your new product.

The other point to make is I was reading some of the responses, some of the follow up from Apple.

It's a bit confusing because I know The Verge reported that they had an official apple response.

But then Apple was like, That's not our official response.

There was this guy, an engineer or wherever he was.

He was responding to email requests regarding the bending from customers, and he stated that this is that this device is designed to their specifications.

That response is probably more weird than the actual bending, because here you have the biggest consumer electronics company coming out and saying a little bit of a bend, no big deal, even if it's out of the box when you buy it.

Yeah, I mean, in their unofficial statement saying, You know these ipads air either, Eh?

Yeah, by design yard of the cooling process, it's hard to figure out where to land on it.

Of course, when I made that original video, it was a big It's still the most popular video that I posted.

A follow up to that story that many people didn't necessarily catch up on was effect that further problems on the iPhone six.

This touch disease problem that crapping up later was a consequence of these slight vents.

So for people who were thinking that it was strictly aesthetic at the time, it went on to have this further issue with these phantom touch is taking place on the display because it screwed up the digitize er when it had that slight bend in it.

But that didn't happen for like a year or two afterwards, so people that thought they were they were safe out of the woodwork.

Went went on to acquire different problems eventually from that issue, and Apple went on to replace many devices under a repair program because of said touch disease.

In the case of the iPad, it might not even be a thing where you realized the extent of the damage immediately.

But there may be other issues that creep up because of these slight bend in the frame over time, and it might not be strictly aesthetic, but like a lot of these things that generate a ton of hype.

And as you know, new Apple product comes out.

It's a whole thing because Apple's already doing a good job of telling you why you need it.

So you're trying to find out Well, okay, that's cool.

And that's what people depend on this type of content for.

So when I saw the video online, where the iPad was bent in half really easy, of course I'm not bending things anymore.

I moved on, but I think we're at a point now where these devices are shrinking down so much that it's kind of inevitable.

They're not going to be is tough because we demand thinness.

We never want to pay the price with a bent.

Yeah, but with this iPad, I mean, it's 800 bucks.

The problem is that a lot of people are seeing eye pads that are bent when they just first open it.

It's no fun that that part of the experience in relationship that you have with the product is so important.

So it's It's obviously no fun, especially an apple, especially an apple product, fresh box, sleek design and so on.

I'm actually gonna be a little bit optimistic on this one.

Right now, some people are having issues getting their units replaced.

I think Apple's gonna do the right thing.

I think if that's your iPad, the one in that picture, I think they're probably gonna replace it for you.
