Some iPad Pro 2018 units coming with bent frames, Apple says it’s normal

20 December 2018
This effectively means that if you received a bent iPad Pro, you’re not getting it replaced.

IOS is the worst thing about Apple and their tablets. MacOs comparable to Windows. Would say windows wins right now, probably due to the lack of investment in MacOS. But IOS is a joke right now. Properly rubbish as a mobile solution. Android is better. But neither Android or IOS can compete with Windows or MacOS.

Again, nothing comes close to the responsiveness and less cluttered interface of Procreate. Photoshop just lags if you do color blending. Sketchbook Pro lacks the basic touch gestures for redo and undo, that totally distracts the process of drawing.

          If iPads didn't have Pencil integration till now, I would have a Surface Pro. iPad Pro would be a totaly expensive piece of crap without Apple Pencil and would laugh at people buying them for browsing and Netflix.

          Even more is Apple decides to allow mouse integration and direct USB-C file transfers. But they want you still using laptops for those.

I was thinking of getting the latest Surface Pro, but Procreate app only exist in iOS, and the Apple Pencil experience are unmatched. A Wacom Cintiq is actually more expensive, and cumbersome to carry around for drawing and illustration on the go.

              If you do not do digital drawing, an iPad Pro is just an expensive Netflix device. But for people like me is the best portable drawing tablet around that can last for way more hours, intuitive gesture tools in Procreate.

              I know it can’t do 3D generation, can’t run CAD, but for artists and designers, this is a gold mine! Unplugged for more than 6 hours of productivity, and highly mobile that I can work anywhere.

                Wow, apple didn't say it's normal , maybe an apple retail employee but not apple . Funny after I stopped visiting most sites because of reporting like this. Gsmarena wants to turn into another clickbait BuzzFeed type of site

I'll be putting on a heavy structural case as soon as they are available, thank you very much. I have spent over $1600 on this plus accessories. It is first a mobile drawing table for my professional needs, not just some home device.

                      I have the TV at home, although I have to admit that the iPad Pro has great speakers, and great battery stamina. I just had a design meeting and iPad Pro ruled when we were drawing ideas with the Apple Pencil and showing references on the table.

                      Now this is powerful to me for my professional work as an architect.

                        They'll just sell you a box full of scrap metal. For the amazing price of 1,499 dollars. Because, why should you have to wait for the inevitable?

                                    7h3N319hb0r, 21 Dec 2018It's the only Apple product I actually spent more money tha... moreIt is also a far superior device for reading (for avid readers) than any other (phones too small, laptops too big/awkward, eink devices too reduced in function) , best for media watching (again , similar reasons as previously). They have to up their productivity bit, but once they do it is game over for small laptops or inferior 2in1s (the ones that are laptops first).

                                    Apple creates great products sometimes. However the bashers in threads like this are so blinded that they put all deeds in one pot and judge them as if they are one.

                                    I mean nobody like Apple's practices. Then again nobody makes a home device like iPad. They don't even try (at least they used to try in the older days).

                                        Apple should just bin these bend versions and sell them to players with creater cost because They will get curved screen! Profit!
