[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, YouTube channel JerryRigEverything released a compelling video revealing the performance of the new iPad Pro in extreme bending tests. Apple’s thinnest device ever shows great stiffness enhancement in landscape mode, but faces challenges in portrait mode.
The new iPad Pro is available in 11-inch and 13-inch models, with thicknesses reaching an astonishing 5.3 mm and 5.1 mm respectively. In order to verify its structural strength and durability, channel host Zack conducted rigorous bending tests on it. The results show that Apple added a special part inside the device to enhance the stiffness. This design has a significant effect in “landscape mode”. Even if you try to bend the iPad, no parts break.
However, when bending the iPad in “portrait mode,” the story is different. With the space inside the USB-C port being the weakest link, the iPad's screen cracked nearby. Still, that's pretty impressive for a device that's just 5.1mm thick.
Zack suggested in the video that Apple could consider adding a new board parallel to the bottom USB port in its next-generation product to further enhance the device's structural strength. Such a design is expected to solve the problems that the current model has in portrait mode.
In addition to structural strength, the new iPad Pro’s Tandem OLED technology has also attracted widespread attention. This technology significantly increases the brightness of the display by stacking two OLED screens together. What's even more impressive is that even when directly affected by flames, Tandem OLED screens show extremely high fire resistance and do not suffer from the common permanent discoloration phenomenon.
The new iPad Pro and iPad Air have been launched and have received enthusiastic attention from consumers. Although the bend test was conducted more for fun and to verify product durability, this test certainly provides valuable reference information for potential buyers.
